Last Winter, I bought an air boot dryer because I thought it’d be helpful to dry my kids’ shoes after a wet outdoor sports game or practice. I figured I’d use it in the Winter on snow days and then for cleats on an occasional Spring day.
What I didn’t anticipate was just how much I’d love and need this air boot dryer.
I spent more time than I probably should’ve researching up air boot dryers, but the range of prices and features was large. There were shoe inserts that would dry two shoes at a time, dryers with varying heights, some that couldn’t fit a boot, etc.
In the end, I chose the DryGuy DX Forced Air Boot Dryer and Garment Dryer because:
- This one wasn’t the most expensive air dryer, but seemed reasonably priced for the features.
- It had a timer that you could set and forget because it turned off on its own.
- It offers both heat and air temperature dry options.
- It fit four items instead of two.
- There was enough space between the posts and the center console.
- It wasn’t specific to boots.
- When not in use, it fits nicely under our laundry sink (I didn’t know this ahead of time but it’s a nice bonus)!
As you can see, I used it as recently as this week to dry four of my kids’ shoes after a wet day at camp:
Like my laundry room rug? It’s from Ruggable. Read my Ruggable rug review >>
So not only have we used this air dryer on hats, gloves, and boots in the Winter, but we’ve also used it on cleats (rain and/or sweat), water shoes, sneakers and boat shoes.
Apparently, my kids love puddles, water games, playing in the rain and snow, etc. I’ve pulled this boot dryer out from under my laundry room sink more times than I can count. And IT’S SUMMER!
The DryGuy air dryer has been really helpful, and much more effective and less stinky than putting shoes over air vents.
