I don't have one but it's the kind of thing I wouldn't buy from Alix.
I do have this Decathlon one bookmarked which is probably what I'd go for at just over a tenner

I've got a set just like this from AliExpress. They don't get proper hot just kinda warm. I can't say I fully trust AliExpress electrics so I don't use it when I'm out the house but so far they've worked. Might be worth getting a small dehumidifier too. Last year I got a heated blanket off Amazon, the plug developed a problem so I replaced it and realised it doesn't have a ground cable. Be very cautious of anything with slightly dubious origins.

I have one. It’s good apart from you do get the smell of warm damp shoe liberated!
I wouldn’t use it for leather shoes or boots
The good ones just heat the air a few degrees above ambient temp, and it’s the gentle warm airflow that does the work.
This winter I am interested to discover if the newly created drying room with a dehumidifier does a better job than the shoe drier. At some point I’ll put one wet shoe in the drying room and use the shoe dryer on the other one.

Electric shoe-driers (this sort of thing) - do they work/are they going to burn my house down/if I get the ones from AliX for £10, are THEY going to burn my house down?
3 x dog walks a day in winter means my walking boots never really dry out, and I just hate wearing wellies unless we're going to proper slop-town.
