Thermal Mesh Insoles size 13
(These are as thick as 3-4 pairs of the US GI insoles)
Use these mesh insoles in any environment that you need dry feet!
Mesh insoles keep a airspace between your feet and the bottom of your boot.
Works with wet jungle conditions with boots that drain.
Cold wet conditions 20 deg. F and above with rubber boots and wool socks, the insoles will keep your socks amazingly dry and you will actually have a small puddle of water under the insole.
Dry cold below 20 deg. F these insoles will act as a frost liner in extended outdoor stays. Moisture will turn into frost and be caught in the insole...pull them out and tap out the frost when needed...your socks will stay warm and dry!
These insoles create a dead airspace between your foot and footwear, permitting constant circulation of air around the foot. Keeps your feet warm and dry in the winter and cool and dry in the summer.

I used the military issue "Vietnam style" mesh insoles while in the Army in the 70's for cold weather foot wear. Over time my supply wore out. An exhaustive internet search for surplus insoles turned up Ben's insoles. They are as good as, or better than, the Army insoles. I currently have 5 pair. They are phenomenal! My feet do not freeze on the bottoms down into the low 20 belows. I highly recommend them to others. No looking back!

I first learned of this type of insole from my Baltes Jungle boots. I found these from Ben's and couldn't be more pleased with how they work!

Dry feet here in Florida with mid weight merino wool socks. Way better than anything I was issued.

I have been searching the world on the internet for these insoles since 1990 when my last Army issue pairs wore out. the foam junk they replaced them with are a joke. these keep feet cool, dry in summer and warm dry in winter. I am so happy I bought 6 pairs ! These were the Army Jungle boot insoles during my years 1981-1987

These boot insoles are the best for anyone looking to keep their feet dry in hot/humid climates and desert climates.
Having used "Vietnam style" mesh insoles in the Army, I looked all over for similar products. These answered the call. Due to the fact that these are "low tech" does not mean they are not the best for your feet. On this site, these are advertised for cold weather, but they were originally designed for hot/moist weather and fast drying needs.
Well done!

so far I am impressed. Will try with a broader range of socks, but these have made a difference in my heavier work snow boots.

I haven't had really cold weather to test this system the way I wanted to but what I have experienced so far is unbelievable. My first test was at 15degrees with one pair of thin smart wool socks and uninsulated boots. My feet were so comfortable I felt like I was at home in my recliner. My second test was at work with cotton socks and uninsulated boots. Working inside, Again the results are amazing (DRY FEET) I also put the insoles in my boots what I think is upside down a very rough texture that feels like a constant massage. These insoles will be a permanent part of my two layer wicking system. To be able to stand outside in freezing temps and be warm is amazing.

Exactly what I was searching for. Cushioning and ventilation better than I had hoped.
Socks dry quickly with walking after a Pacific Northwest soaking.
Not yet able to give a 5 star since I'm not sure how they will hold up over time.
Ordered 2 more.

These are a big upgrade from the Vietnam era mesh insoles. Nice cushion and good airflow keep your feet dry.

Finally mesh insoles to keep your foot warm in extreme cold. They work by trapping moisture into the mesh air pockets where it will freeze away from your feet. When it's very cold @ -F, you simply remove the insoles each day. Tap lightly to break off the frost and insert back into your mukluks. Very unique product that has to be tried to really understand it's value. Thanks Ben!
