Just a tip and method I used for drying those wet, muddy, smelly geo shoes after finding a swamp hide by TopGear this mourning.

Looks like a nice idea but the fan isn't spinning. They'd dry much quicker if you set your thermostat to 68 degrees.  |

| Go to any store that sells sporting goods. I won't name any, they are everywhere. Buy a PEET boot dryer. They will work well all year. About $35 |

| You call this an efficient geoshoe dryer? isn't the A/C supposed to suck alot of energy? |

If you're using it anyway, it is very efficient. Thanks for the great idea, beagleboo! _________________ Alcohol & calculus don't mix. Don't drink & deriv |

If it's February, it would be frozen solid. |

Yep. you'd need to bring them into the heat and then to the dryer heat dryer heat dryer, and plus if you walk through mud you don't want a dryer then the mud'll be on there forever. And if it's February you don't want the A/C then anyway. A cold house in the dead of winter yeesh, at least you'd have dry shoes though, and at that time of year it's all about the dry BOOTS!!!!! |

Too bad that's not a portable solution; it'd be great for drying off logs.  |
