What is the "proper" name for these? Last time I looked for foot warmers all I got was electric bootstie things, or hotplates for foot. So I got a small radiant heater instead.

Though I guess a microwavable grain bag on a normal footrest would also work.

Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foot_stove) says its restricted to wooden ones with hot charcoal, but I would call them “Foot Stove” regardless of construction material or heat source.

Never seen one of these, but my dad used to have charcoal hand warmers similar to this:

We used to take them to football matches but eventually they became the sort of thing they'd confiscate cos fire and idiots don't mix.
