I use my low cost wet dry vacuum cleaner to dry out a soaking wet boot in half an hour. It’s important to take good care of your feet. You are on your feet all day long. Standing in wet boots all day long is bad for your feet. Increase your comfort level and dry the boots when possible.
I use a strong vacuum cleaner (at least 2 hp) to speed up the process. This technique uses high volume, high velocity warm air and a flexible hose to pipe air to the toe of the shoe. As the air exits the shoe, it dries all inside shoe material it touches. The cloth inside the shoe acts like a wick and facilitates rapid evaporation and drying as it comes in contact with the moving air.
These type of vacuum cleaners use a lot of power, but it’s worth the cost to have dry feet. A powerful motor needs lots of electricity.
I like to dry my boots outside for safety reasons and because the process tends to make my house smell like stinky boots. I monitor the drying process carefully and turn off the machine if there is any sign of a problem. This technique requires adult supervision. Be careful to keep the cords away from water in order to avoid the risk of electrical shock.
