  • 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.

  • 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.

  • "newly created drying room with a dehumidifier does a better job than a shoe drier"

    I'm no expert but I'm going to guess yes.

  • Thanks for feedback. When you say "wouldn't use for leather shoes or boots" do you mean "leather shoes and leather boots"? Just trying to work out if any functionality that wouldn't work for my fabric walking boots? I can deal with warm damp shoe smell - I'm sure the smell of warm damp dog will overpower that....

  • My question:

    Why does;

    newly created drying room with a dehumidifier

    not have it's own Current Projects thread?
