Dances_With_Wiener_Dogs Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 While my boots are waterproof, they apparently are not submersible. So after I dumped the quart out of each, how can I hasten the drying process...cedar chips maybe? Link to comment
ltljohn Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Have a fan blow into them, or Try something like this Do not use a hair dryer. Link to comment
Firefight911 Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Stuffing newspaper works well as it wicks the water away. Do NOT use color print. Also, I use THIS at work for my turnout boots after a good fire, etc. Link to comment
randy Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 if you are at home, put them in front of your home's "return air" duct. With the air conditioner running you will be amazed at how quickly "humidity" (which is all there really is in your boot) will be rmoved. Link to comment
der Wanderer Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Avoid any heat drying, it will harden the leather (assuming it's leather). Better a bit slower than forcing it through heat. Once dry, use leather softeners/preservers; don't be afraid of using too much... Link to comment
Dances_With_Wiener_Dogs Posted July 31, 2009 Author Share Posted July 31, 2009 With the air conditioner running This is Seattle where nobody has AC. And I did use some colored paper...oops. Yes, these are leather boots. I'll see what sort of driers the local sporting goods store has. Thanks folks! Link to comment
Limecreek Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Stuffing newspaper works well as it wicks the water away. Do NOT use color print. 30 years of snow skiing and that was the best method I found....should work with moto boots too. Link to comment

EddyQ Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Also, I use THIS at work for my turnout boots after a good fire, etc. I know someone that made one of those with 1 1/2" PVC pipe, plywood box and a muffin fan. If your getting your boots wet often, it works real nice. Link to comment

MWS Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 We use "Boot Toasters" for our ski boots, and they work great. When we travel we will have a set just in case. They will dry boots within 4-5 hrs Link to comment
