About Us

In the winter of 1991 Jim Yates was enjoying another day of white tail hunting in his tree stand. The weather was cold, and so were his feet. In the past he had purchased some air activated foot warmers and put them down in his boot, but by the time he hiked to his tree the foot warmer had balled up uncomfortably inside. While he sat there he began to envision ways in which to keep the warmer in place. If it would stay on top of the toes it wouldn’t be uncomfortable.

That evening he asked his wife if she could work on a project with him. Jim asked for an old pair of panty hose and got a pair of his hunting socks ready. He cut the panty hose in the shape of a rectangle and had his wife sew the patch on top of his socks. The next day he wore his newly designed socks, and inserted the foot warmers in the pouch before he got out of his truck. The warmers stayed in place during his long walk to his tree stand. Once in the stand his feet stayed warm all day.

That was the beginning of heated pocket sock by Wise Hunters, LLC.
