Default Recirculate cockpit air to keep feet warm?

I have a Gerbing heated suit for motorcycle riding when I lived in
Upstate NY but it's too bulky and a big power hog so it wouldn't work in
the glider.Â* I could use the socks, however, but the boot warmers that I
originally posted are probably better for a still air environment.

Since my down or polyester jacket or snow suit won't be getting wet
during a wave flight, I've gone that route. Don't have anything with
wool in it, and thermal underwear, "street clothes", and an down or
polyester snowsuit keep me warm. It helps a lot that I've fixed all
the canopy and vent leaks, and that I usually stop at 0 deg F on the
climb.
