I built a drying system out of PVC parts and cheap little usb powered
fans. It works great and is really pretty cheap.

I'm sure a shoe dryer would work better, but I just use a small fan in the
garage instead.

Def gonna grab a shoe dryer - thanks for the recommendations

I've actually got four pairs I rotate through depending on what's going on. And actually, all four pairs are now so trashed the only difference at this point is stack height. Which is sort of a PITA. Sometimes literally.

A lot of work can go into drying the same pair of shoes constantly, but, if you simply invest in a second pair they'll last more than twice as long as a single pair. The wet ones can get insoles pulled out and fully opened so they can air dry in the time it takes between switches. There are several benefits to having multiples. I'll leave that joy of discovery for yourself. :)

small desk fan pointed at the shoes overnight, seems to work fine

I use shoe covers, and sometimes the shoes still get wet. I use one of
those shoe driers from Harbor Freight , works quite well.

Hope that helps

My wife got me a boot dryer for christmas like this:
http://www.amazon.com/DryGuy-Wide-Body-Boot-Glove-Dryer/dp/B0000AMK8R

Aside from dying inside a little bit from the sheer wattage it consumes, it
works really well. It's pretty much just a hairdryer with some tubes to
route the output.

I use a boot/shoe dryer. I've never had a problem with it destroying my
shoes as it uses a gentle/low heat. When wet, I place them on the dryer
at night and they are nice and toasty in the morning when I come out again.

This isn't the exact model that I have, but it is something like this:
http://www.dickssportinggoods.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3198454&camp=CSE:GooglePLA:3198454:5022185:BOOTS&CAGPSPN=pla&CAWELAID=120138600000163701&catargetid=120138600002758215&cadevice=c

I also use waterproof shoes in the winter.

If you have forced-air heat, the heat from the vents is moderate enough
that it dries shoes without damaging them. Best spot is those vertical
vents that are under the kickspace of a kitchen or bathroom cabinet. Remove
insoles to dry separately, open shoes as much as possible and cup them
around the vent opening so air blows into them. They should dry overnight
or in less than a day, assuming your heater comes on periodically. If it
take longer than that you need another method to avoid funkiness.
(Downside: If your shoes are already funky, you may end up with a smelly
kitchen...)

I set mine in front of an inexpensive box fan for a few hours - no heat
just moving air.

Winter riding boots are best but cat litter (or the new all pine cat
litter) in a stocking works well. Never tried the shoe dryers but hunters
seem to use them from what I can tell.

Spencer D

Don't get em wet! I use fancy waterproof shoe covers. Yes they cost as much as the shoe they protect but they let you bike in conditions your shoe was never intended for. That's my 2 cents. For infrequent drying stuffing with newspapers works.

How you dry dem shoes?

I've ruined shoes from aggressive drying techniques (heater n such), and from NOT drying them (mildew n funk n such).... so those tactics aren't working.

Anybody ever used one of those funky shoe dryers from the As Seen On TV catalog at your gramama's?
