mokwepa Posted May 23, 2014 Report Share Posted May 23, 2014 Morning guys Im one of those riders that walks through all water sections looking/feeling for unseen obstacles, while the smarter guys watch and keep their boots dry. How do you guys dry your boots out? I hang my boots up outside but it takes close on a week to dry out completely. Any blower devices you guys have built that I could look at (pics) or other tips? Thanks guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duggan Posted May 23, 2014 Report Share Posted May 23, 2014 (edited) Hi Try one of these, eBay item number 290998596084 Dry boots every ride Edited May 23, 2014 by duggan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hillary Posted May 23, 2014 Report Share Posted May 23, 2014 Stuff them with newspaper overnight. The paper absorbs most of the moisture, remove it in the morning and repeat . In 36 hours the boots will be dry and because you are not using any heat to dry them, the leather remains supple. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

p@ul250 Posted May 23, 2014 Report Share Posted May 23, 2014 I'm another one for stuffing with scrunched up news paper. Done it this way for years, it works! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpperLeft Trials Posted May 23, 2014 Report Share Posted May 23, 2014 In the rainy Pacific Northwest, the best option for dry boots is a Peet Boot Dryer. This system drys even completely soaked boots overnight without heat so no consequential harm to leather.

b_42woody Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 +1 for Peet. Highly recommended. I've been using mine for years with great results. Absolutely no problems with leather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
