Wow, I did not know these were a thing.

My main issue in the winter is my feet. (And I hate slippers.) Maybe I'll get one of these and put it under my desk.

Aw man, slippers are the best part of winter! Maybe you just haven't had nice ones. In addition to the usual furry/fuzzy slippers most people think of, I like to mix it up with "house shoes" (i.e.: shoes but ones that never go outside) like EVA Birkenstocks[0]. They're extremely light and the half-inch insulation they provide from the cooler ground makes a big difference for me.

I used to have a small heater running under my desk but I bought these [1] recently and the heater hasn't been on since. My feet are toasty but don't get hot and sweaty.
