I want to make some cloth tubes filled with <stuff> to stick in the
microwave for a few minutes and then stuff into my boots to keep them
warm for roughly 1.5 hours. What stuff should I stuff them with?

fit my boots, and a some of those "blue ice" packs. Keeps the boot
shells warm for hours.
Your idea won't heat the outer shells which is what stiffens up making
it hard to get boots on. It might work if you wrap the boots with
inerted warming cylinder in a insulating blanket.
I've seen these softside ice chests in garage sales.

The first time she wore them we spent a lot of time with the
blow-dryers in the restroom. My old boots had the loosen-to-walk
feature, so I never had a problem. New 4-buckle boots actually HURT to
pull on, although they feel fine once I've stuffed my feet into them.
Wheat or rice...

I just put mine at one of the heater vents. I suppose having front and rear vents helps some. But it gets the shells nice and toasty and soft. I can't get my foot into 4 buckle racing boots unless they're warm. High instep.

Hot water bottles? In a cooler as suggested? I'm sure that they sell something too. But that might just warm the inside and not soften the shell.

a gay friend suggested a shoe store in Florida that made women's shoes
in men's sizes for the transgender/vestite community. Prices were, as
expected, quite high. And I still had no assurance that they'd fit.
When I had to buy shoes for my daughter's wedding I tried on every
suitable shoe at the wide shoe store and still had to take them off
halfway through the reception. I can't even get into them now.
Fortunately I no longer need to wear anything but running shoes (or ski
boots) except for the occasional funeral.

How hard could it be to make a ricebag? When I was a kid I made
beanbags on my grandma's sewing machine. They also talked about
buckwheat husks, but didn't explain how they were different from
ordinary wheat bran.
I needed an excuse to haul out my Husqvarna sewing machine anyway. It's
so slick that I feel guilty for ignoring it for a couple of years.

Who was your gay friend, Cuntley? Bet he never read your rants on rsa, or checked out your buddies. Did you pass the information onto Homophobe Thompson, he could use a nice pair of stillettos.
This is too precious. Ashley is so deformed she has to buy tranny shoes. No wonder she is such a vile, disgusting, amoral, hateful freak.

"wheat" at all. In fact it's not even a member of the grass family. It's
a broadleaf plant related to burdock.

Real metal, heavy as hell. Oilite bearings, which I found shocking;
I'd been brought up to believe that oilites were vastly inferior to ball
bearings, but I've been forced to rethink my position. When I first
tried it out it sewed very slowly, coming up to full speed within a few
minutes. No oil holes, which I emailed the company about. They assured
me that I did NOT need to oil the machine. Scary. It was $3 and had
been in somebody's garage for decades. I found a set of attachments for
it at a rummage sale for $1. SCORE!
It just occurred to me that filling a sock with rice might be even easier...

My sisters make some sort of beanbags using crushed walnut shells for
some reason. Crushed walnut shells are used in a variety of military
applications also. Among them is in sand blasting and lubrication.

I wouldn't know. I don't want someone from the military asking about
how I acquired crushed walnut shells, would I?

binding replacement. The expert wasn't there today, so I have to wait
until I pick them up to get my boots blown out. The kid said he'd done
liners, but he didn't want to tackle shells yet. I like people who tell
the truth.
I also had lunch with the best boss I ever had. We do this every couple
of years, always swearing to do it more often.
And it rained today, but it wasn't cold.
