What is the best boot dryer? When your footwear gets soaked and wet, a boot dryer comes to your rescue. This useful device accelerates the process of drying, making your boots ready to wear within the shortest possible time. Apart from adding to your comfort, a boot dryer can also prevent mold and bacteria from growing. There are multiple types of boot dryers on the market and choosing between them largely depends on what your priority is.

  • Forced air boot dryers like DryGuy Forced Air Boot & Garment Dryer are made with a fan that circulates the warmed air around your footwear, dring it very quickly.
  • Models that use a ceramic heating element are slower to dry footwear but typically cheaper.
  • The thermal convection option works by warming the air with a built-in heating element and circulating it around the boots. Such boot dryers do the job fast and have the added advantage of being energy efficient and noiseless. These portable Travel Boot Dryers are compact and affordable.
  • Alternatively, you can go with a UV boot dryer that is particularly good at killing bacteria and deodorizing.

In most cases, models like the PEET 2-Shoe Electric Shoe and Boot Dryer are the best bet. Made in the USA, this unit uses convection technology to push warmed air through AirChambers and DryPorts to dry your boots or gear.

The air is drawn in through the vents and once warmed, it moves up through the tubes and circulates around the footwear. When compared to similar models on the market, the PEET electric boot dryer has several advantages. First, it does not get hot and is, therefore, safe to use. Secondly, the unit is energy-efficient so you can use it day and night, without worrying about your energy bills. Thirdly, since the device does not have any fans, it operates noiselessly, something that allows you to comfortably dry your footwear at nighttime.

For outdoor use, such as camping or hiking, the most suitable choice is a propane heater. This option is powered by a propane tank and does not require a power outlet.

Testing & Customers Reviews

We found reviews from real YouTube bloggers about the products from our article.

AntlerScore: "What I liked about DryGuy DX Boot Dryer. It's not very loud. It would be the equivalent of having a fan going in your house. Maybe kind of like a dehumidifier. You can hear it but it's nothing obnoxious. The next thing having 4 ports as opposed to two it's a really nice option. Because then you can do boots and socks. You can do boots and gloves. If there's two of you you can do two pairs of boots so it's a really nice feature. The third thing the tube extensions are great. Tall rubber boots are becoming extremely popular in hunting. Mine are about 18 inches tall and I had no problem drying them.

I like to be able to turn on and off the heat on this product. I use the product for quite a bit after I work out. I flipp the heat off I put my running shoes on, after our workout they kind of smell they're kind of sweaty, 30-40 minutes on it with no heat just air circulating through the shoe they're good as new. The one drawback that I found with this product is while it works really good for drying your boots out it does take quite a bit longer to dry out a pair of gloves. It just seems that the challenge is getting airflow into each of the fingers as well as all the way to the tips of the fingers. Repositioning the gloves every 15 to 20 minutes will help tremendously. They will get dry it's just gonna take a little bit longer than your boots."

Techtropolis: "This thing saves my life. I'm a mail carrier so in the winter when it's snowing this is absolutely necessary. Before I had Peet Boot Dryer the inside of my boots would be wet and I would just have to pray that overnight they would be dry enough. And a lot of times they wouldn't be and I have to go outside it would be like negative 20 and the inside of my boots would be wet. I was worried I might have frostbite so I looked on the internet and I went with this one.

It uses very little energy. It literally makes no noise. I mean you wouldn't even think it's on but you know you could just feel it just pumps out a little bit of warm air. It's very subtle. But when you put your boots on in the morning they're nice and toasty. It's a great product. It wasn't expensive. I got it on Amazon. It's worked for over a year now and it's absolutely necessary. You don't realize how important this is until you have it. And it makes you think of how did you possibly live without it."

Adventure Rig: "If you are skiing multiple days back-to-back or maybe you're even just skiing on the weekend having wet boots obviously sucks. But it seems like no matter what if we wear boots for a day if there's some snow that gets in them or if our feet are sweating the liners get wet. Luckily DryGuy Travel Dry DX has us covered. There's a lot of cord. They do actually wind around the dryer pretty easily to keep them nice and tucked away and not tangled up with each other. But something that we found is this actually works really well for us because we have some outlets that are actually underneath cabinets. We can get these all the way down to the ground in our boots and the boots don't have to be directly underneath the cabinet. We can actually move them away and out of the way which is great when you're living in small spaces.

What's also really nice about these is that if you're just in a car you can actually still take these along and it has a 12-volt cigarette lighter already attached to it. So if you want to use it with the wall it does come with this and it just plugs in. Now you can use 120 volt AC power or a cigarette lighter in your car. I think that's really awesome. Endless options. You should be able to use these no matter where you are. Now these do work really well. First of all they're quiet so it's great when you're sleeping in the same quarters is where your boots are drying. Because you really can't hear these. They don't push a ton of air you can feel a little bit of air coming out of them but it's not like a blow dryer or anything like that.

Now obviously with the size of these they don't dry as quickly as the forced dry but if we leave these on for four or five hours it seems to do a great job of drying the boots. If we leave them overnight there's absolutely no question no matter how wet our boots were. When I plug these in we are using about one point one extra amps per set of these so it's not a lot of amperage. Another nice thing is the overall shape allows the dryer to just slip into your boot and easily get all the way into the toe. Again these are great. If you are on the move if you're traveling a bunch if you're living in your car van camper these will dry your boots every night."
