They feel warm at first, then you don't feel them at all. Then the pain goes.

The Salonpas pads does not feel cold or hot, but I use them on my knee and big toe for arthritias and gout and the throbbing pain stops. highly recommended.E.M. Chowchilla, CA.

Hope by now you have found what you want; however, if you did not and you may want 'cold' try Salonpas Deep Relieving Gel. It makes me shiver!

No, feet never have felt hot, I only wear them to work in the garden and other outside work, wore them to Walmart once because I left in a hurry and had compliments, feet weren't hot.

Freeze. They feel like they are gel filled but the freeze hard. Like any ice pack you would get with a small cooler.

Not sure what product you're comparing to, but these have helped with my foot pain. Start with 10-15 minutes at a time. It is uncomfortable at first. Work up to longer times and it really helps stretch my toes so they don't curl as much

Sorry-last answer was wrong product. Love the ice packs-very little odor-maybe smells like cedar. We store them in the freezer and ice our sore muscles every day. We are up tp 3 of them!

hmmmm good question. I def feel a slight sense of warmth on my inner ear when wearing it for prolonged times. So when you put these on, it makes a seal that would theoretically prevent cold air from going in your ear. I haven't had cold enough weather to test out those conditions sorry! But I think it would work because the seal these things make within your ear canal is very tight.

It has menthol. I would not call it numbing, but it does feel like ice on your skin. All I know is it takes the pain away very well and both my husband and I use it for sore muscles, arthritis, etc. and we love it!

I wear for a while in the evenings. I max out at about an hour, start to get cramping. Tried wearing to bed, but it comes off. Do feel like it might be having a slight impact on my hammer toe.

I am currently sitting here with my brand new ice pack wrapped around my knee and about 12" from my nose (knee is elevated to heart height in front of me). There is a very slight smell but given how I can wrap it on the diagonal around my knee to the area that's swollen the worst, that tiny bit is something I can definitely live with. It is -nowhere near- how much a pain-relieving salve would smell (such as arnica or bengay) and it's completely gone while the ice pack is freshly cold. If you noticed it much you could probably use it as an indicator of when to freeze it again! :D

Hi!It's hard to compare these with socks woolen socks, because unfortunately I did not have warm woolen socks :-(But I can tell you that they have enough heat at a temperature of -20 degrees Celsius in heavy leather shoes with steel toes, which have the property very good "absorb" cold.

Yep, that's what it feels like to me. I'm no longer using these (thank goodness!) so it's been a few months since I actually touched them. They're great.

I have never felt any heat so I'm going to assume cold. It's ultrasonic so I would imagine there's little to no heat involved in that.

If it's a damaged tendon that hurts to the touch, from experience I can say: 1) These are the exact weights used by the hospital Physical Therapists as ankle weights (and used on me, which is why I purchased them); and 2) I wear heavy socks as a buffer and leave the strap a tad loose on that ankle. I have two white 2 lb. Hausmanns. Hope this helps you!

I have the Shield life TheraPad XL and TheraPad Lite. Both feel warm after they warm up. That takes awhile. That is probably why your were told that they don't feel warm until you get on them. They get pretty hot so don't turn them/it up too much just a hint of warmth is all I need and I could stay on it for a long time.

Haven't experienced that...but then I'm always wearing shoes when I'm outside! Through my shoes, they don't feel any hotter than anywhere else on my property (driveway, slate sidewalks, etc.) BTW, they went through their first winter in great shape (and it was one unusual winter around here...coldest in decades, so temperature on my feet wasn't a consideration from November through April!) ...still look like I just installed them yesterday (I covered my 300 square foot deck with them). They were a bit expensive, but the finished look is worth it in my opinion. Even my neighbors and friends are impressed. Haven't experienced that...but then I'm always wearing shoes when I'm outside!
