Shoe Dryer

[SouthernThunder]

First of all Merry Christmass to all you fine folks out there.

Looking over the sales adds I saw a portable shoe dryer. Sounds like a pretty handy device. Anyone have one and how well do they work?

I just put my damp shoes under the wood burning stove!

If you are talking about a Peet shoe dryer, they're great! I've had one for nearly 30 years. Even when I lived off grid, I always managed to find a place to plug it in so I could rotate my boots through it in winter.

No matter how wet your boots are, they dry overnight and unlike putting them under or near the woodstove, they don't dry out and crack the leather.

Yep. Thats exactly the brand I was looking at. I work a mobile construction crew with the railroad so I am not home except on my days off. I have yet to come across a motel with a wood stove and they are getting pretty angry about me burning up their hair dryers. If you've been using one for 30 years there has to be something good there. Guess I'll have to buy one. Take care!

They're plastic but it's certainly passed the test of time having served not only myself all those years, but been put to the test by five boys that loved to get their feet wet.

They are silent and when you put your hand over the openings, you're not going to believe that it'll dry anything.

Far as I know, they are still built here in N. Idaho. If I remember right, they were made to dry underground miners wet boots.
