| are the Peet dryers worth the extra cost over something like these Dr Dry's? |
|
I just retired so don't dry my boots/shoes as much any more. I worked 12 hours shifts and put my boots on a Peet after every shift. My feet sweat a lot and I worked in a wet environment. My boots were always dry and ready for work in the morning.
I think it helps boot last much longer by keeping them dry. Before I started drying them I'd rot the boots out from the inside; after I started drying them I'd wear the boots out from the sole after much more wear. |
| I have both types of boot dryers, the original Peet one that is big and bulky that you put your boots on upside down and some small Peet Powercell ones that just slip into your boots like your second link. I like the smaller ones better, they are handier, you can take them with you easier, they seem to work just as well. |

I still use the old Sunbeam hair dryers with a hose. I don't know if they still make them.

If you're using a hair dryer you could jam a cardboard tube from a roll of paper towels or a roll of Christmas wrapping paper on the end of the dryer and stick the end down in your boot, but you could only do one at a time. And maybe use Warm at most. Max might be too hot. |
