    gotta blow on low- you want the fan forced air to circulate - evaporate the moisture

    pull the "footie" out if it has one in it

    Get you a peet dryer, runs off convection heat. Mine doesnt get vary hot... but it will dry them out. But some PVC pipe and make homemade extensions for it.

    Dave hit the nail on the head. Don't buy the extensions, go to the hardware store and buy the pvc. If you use them traveling, cut the extensions and use coupling joints to 'break' them down. you can wear them this evening and be soaking wet, hang them on the Peet driers and they'll be warm & dry in the AM for hunting.

    Set them on the floor vent over night with the heat on. Boot dryers work great to.

    Nope. I bought (2) $12 hair dryers 8 years ago. Run them an hour at the time and them babies will be nice and toasty. I run them on low heat, high fan.

    Its like a sore weiner, you can't beat it!!!

    I use blow dryer too. Just make sure the breather is able to get air.

    I built a dryer out of PVC and an old blow dryer. The heating element on the dryer died so it only blows room temp air. I used a PVC T that the dryer slides into then used 90s to make a U. Then 90s pointing up. Next are the straight uprights and I put 45 degree fittings on the end so air shoots towards the toe of the boots. I also drilled several 1/4" holes in the uprights so air circulates in the legs too. I mounted it to a plywood base using drywall screws. Don't glue the uprights and it packs up nice for travel. I've had mine for years and it works great.
