I first read about this material back in 2007, it is also called "frozen smoke". If anyone is curious about it, here is an article.

The brand name of the insoles is Polar Wrap and their site ( polarwrap.com/default.aspx?pid=2&sid=207&show= ) referred me to stardust.jpl.nasa.gov/photo/aerogel.html. It's the same stuff in a different form. Advertising shows bare feet on the insoles standing on a block of dry ice. For clothing it's been tested from Mt. Everest to Death valley. Might just work in the galley. Tim I would doubt you have insoles made out of the stuff. The actual insulating material is a powder suspended in a felt like product.
