Warm boots for cold flying days
Yes you can put either an electric or a thicker non-electic insole in. The ones that come with them are pretty flimsy. They definitely seem to breath; among other things they allow for chemical hand warmers to be inserted into a pocket, and those only work if there is some oxygen available. In my experience, it's the bottoms of my feet that get the coldest, so a thicker insole or an electric insole is the key.

Do not use chemical heat packs if going to high altitudes.
You will have cold feet when you need the heat and it will get VERY uncomfortably HOT when you are coming down to land. Electric socks should be thoroughly tested before using. Some get too warm and you can't reach the switch to turn them off. I found Sorels to be perfect.
