Portable Shoe Dryer

[Hatch]

I stumbled across this recently. I'm thinking about getting a pair since I have no ability to keep my feet dry in a cave. I'm just worried about them shorting out and burning my boots up along with half the house. How'd you like to explain that to the insurance company?

There are a bunch of boot driers here. I happen to own one that claimed to dry wet boots "in hours" with just blown air (no heat). They don't say how many hours, and it turns out to be something like thirty, unless you set the boots in the sun at the same time.

You might be able to get something like the "20-watt thermal convection heating process" by putting a couple of 15-Watt lightbulbs in ceramic clamp-on fixtures, and shoving those in your boots. Or maybe filling the boots with Wintergreen Life-Savers and hitting them with a hammer would do it . . .

Wouldn't need to worry about drying your boots if you used Wellies!

I've been using Peet Shoe Dryers for a few years now. I can put a totally soaked pair of boots on the dryer in the evening and they will be dry by the next morning. There is some heat involved, but convection current is how the heat is distributed. Jep.
