Title: Two Track Boot Insoles
Post by: Steve O on July 07, 2011, 08:27:00 AM
I just picked up a couple pair of these for my Schnees and Burlys from Chuck.  They are going to be SUPER!

To test them out, I slapped them into my Crocs yesterday while I was working around home.  Talk about luxury, I think I will order a set for my wife's Crocs, she cooed when I had her slip them on    ;)    They have a nice soft non-itchy feel and kept my feet comfortable all day in the near 90 degree heat while I worked on the honey do list in the yard and garage.

If they can soak up the sweat all day during the summer heat and keep my feet dry and comfortable, I am sure they will be a welcome addition for my bowhunting boots.

I should have been a bit more thorough...


  Two Tracks Wool Boot Insoles (http://www.twotracksbow.com/wool_products.htm)  

They just slip in the bottom of your boot and I am anticipating a lot more comfortable hours on stand becase of them!

SteveO,

Are those the thin or thick ones?  I was talking to Chuck about getting some.  All us Southern thin rubber boot wearers could use the help.
Title: Re: Two Track Boot Insoles
Post by: Steve O on July 07, 2011, 09:46:00 AM
Oh great, there are different thicknesses? Now it is going to cost me double!

These measure 3/16" thick.
Title: Re: Two Track Boot Insoles
Post by: owlbait on July 07, 2011, 09:56:00 AM
Wearing mine right now, everyday. Really makes a huge difference in comfort. For some boots you may need to trim them. They are felted wool like his coats and his can coolers!
Title: Re: Two Track Boot Insoles
Post by: LimBender on July 07, 2011, 09:56:00 AM
Maybe Chuck was talkin bout sizing.   :D   Don't want to spread misinformation!

Post by: 2treks on July 07, 2011, 10:16:00 AM
Two Tracks Here!
Thanks for all the good words fellas. I will take a minute to say that If you like your feet to stay comfortable, Then you need to keep the sweat under control. The felt insoles will pull the moisture away from you foot keeping you feeling good for longer periods of time. They also add comfort and cusion to any shoe/boot. we tell people to wear them year around for total foot comfort.
We only have one thickness now and that is about 3/16" to 1/4" thick. The cost is $12/pr plus $2.00 shipping for up to 3pr. I am happy you are happy Steve(you to Mike) Thanks
Chuck

I have both the heavy and lighter insoles.   The lighter set in my Bean boots and the heavier in my Burleys.  Love'em

Is there different sizes or do you trim to fit your size?
Title: Re: Two Track Boot Insoles
Post by: cacciatore on July 07, 2011, 03:25:00 PM
I second you Chuck.
Those felt insole are like the ones that people used for centuries in Europe,they make a difference!
Title: Re: Two Track Boot Insoles
Post by: 2treks on July 07, 2011, 03:36:00 PM
Thanks Felix,Wool Felt is the 2nd. oldest fabric known to man, animal skins are No.1
David, We have any size needed or we can do a custom size.Our standard sizes have worked for the people with standard or normal sized feet.Extra wide or large feet may need a custom size made. ALL of the insoles can be trimmed to "customize the fit though. All hand made material from our own sheep raised in Ovid,Michigan.

We will get an order to you for some and maybe just pick them up at GLLI if that works for you Chuck. Probably four pair

Chuck and Chris make some great products. The insoles are awesome. I even got a pair for the Boss. She loves them--also! You guys should see the vests that Chris makes.They are awesome and will last a lifetime or 2. Chuck--Is Chris offering any new wool products? Last time I spoke to her, she was still thinking about making some hats. Peace!
Title: Re: Two Track Boot Insoles
Post by: americanhunter7 on July 08, 2011, 03:48:00 AM
I was just looking at getting some of these last night....How freaky is this post...Thanks for posting all the info and prices. I'll probably be putting in an order later today or by the first of the week. Or maybe I should wait a little bit to find out about the wool hats???
Title: Re: Two Track Boot Insoles
Post by: 2treks on July 08, 2011, 10:01:00 AM
Howdy Mike, Yes we are getting to the hat design. I hope to have it done SOON! but we are very serious about keeping up with our orders and not falling behind too far. As you have seen,Chris works hard to make our material and we have to stay on top of that all the time. Should I ask the loaded question "what kind of hat do you guys want"?
We have a couple ideas we are working on and will see how it goes.
John, Give a call when you are ready. Thanks for looking.
Chuck

Chuck,
I want a stocking hat, no fold over, just a straight beannie cap, no ball on top.  Two pair of inserts, 1 mens and 1 ladies size.
Mike
Title: Re: Two Track Boot Insoles
Post by: 2treks on July 09, 2011, 08:47:00 AM
That is one style we are working up Mike,But ours will have the Ball on top! Just teasing,but I think you would look good in that. PM me you insole sizes.
Title: Re: Two Track Boot Insoles
Post by: 59Alaskan on December 07, 2013, 07:08:00 AM
just got my first Two Tracks insoles right before a little snow hit here.

It was like putting heaters in my boots.  I have considered buying these for a couple of years now and the only regret I have is that I should've bought them when I first thought about it!!

These are great.  I have issues with cold feet hunting and these are going to be a big help.

Thank you Two Tracks!

As good as they are in the winter to keep your feet warm,they work great all summer long in a work boot.

Title: Re: Two Track Boot Insoles
Post by: smoke1953 on December 07, 2013, 05:42:00 PM
They pretty much add 200 gr to your boot warmth rating but more than that they put it where its most needed at the bottom of your foot. Got them in all my boots. I put some in my old LL Beane Maine style boots that are 35 yrs old and the comfort level increased three fold. Like I got a new pair of boots. Home raised and handcrafted by Chris. Think Chuck might help too.

Post by: magnus on December 07, 2013, 07:47:00 PM
Been using them for years now and like George said they're great year round. Get a few pair so after a hunt you can let one set dry and start with fresh ones the next day.
Title: Re: Two Track Boot Insoles
Post by: tippit on December 07, 2013, 07:48:00 PM
I use mine all the time in my size 15 Burlys.  Never thought about pulling 'em out for my Crocs  :)   Good Stuff!
Title: Re: Two Track Boot Insoles
Post by: Guru on December 07, 2013, 07:51:00 PM
These sound great!

How much room do they take up in the boots?  

example....if I had a pair of boots comfortable with 2 pr of socks, will these make them too tight to wear the 2nd pair of sox?

just wondering....sound like just the ticket for standing on cold metal platforms   :clapper:
Title: Re: Two Track Boot Insoles
Post by: KSshrewman on December 07, 2013, 09:15:00 PM
First I'll second the insoles.  I tried them this fall.  Added comfort and warmth for sure.

Chuck,...regarding a hat....something with a short bowman brim would be good.   :archer:

I have not noticed a difference that would affect what socks I could wear but I wear my boots loose so I may not be a good judge.  I found tight boots were colder.

Hopefully some other guys will chime in

I was in Montana all week hunting mountain lion. Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday when I left my truck it was -20, -20, and -21.  When we got BACK to the truck Friday after chasing a tom till about 3pm it had warmed up to -17. And those are F not C!  I had my Two Tracks insoles in my Schnee Hunters and was very glad I did.

Curt--they don't take up any room at all really. The are not very thick and pack down after they wear in. I'd not worry about that in the least.

Post by: Overspined on December 15, 2013, 01:32:00 PM
I have a suggestion for the boot liners!  If your boots can accommodate it, put the wool underneath the existing footbed if you are walking a lot, or on uneven terrain.  Because the are semi-soft, I wrecked a pair. These can really up the warmth of footwear and comfort. I have like 3 or 4 pair, heavy and light.
Title: Re: Two Track Boot Insoles
Post by: Ray Lyon on December 16, 2013, 08:19:00 AM
I put my first pair under the wool felt liner of my Sorel boots. It feels great. Hopefully next weekend I put it to the test on a hunt.

Got mine yesterday just in time for a bunny hunt, outdoor range visit, and pheasant hunt...normally my pack boots allow my feet to get cold after multiple hours in snow...not today!!
I really didn't think the insoles would work as well as they did, but I have to say I'm impressed!!

Well done Charles!!   :thumbsup:

Jake, I will tell my wife you said so. She does all the making of felted goods. I do most of the design work and she makes it happen.

I got my insoles the other day, slipped right into my Muck and LaCrosse boots. I am sure they will be a big help.

Will the Coups hats be available again? I couldn't get the "contact Us" on the Website to work so I could ask there.

Thanks!
