    Hotronic Snapdry Boot And Glove Dryer

    Find it on AMZN & other sites.

    It works. About $60-70. Key aspect: portable for travel.
    I have zero vested interest in this other than warm feet.

    Zap...shazam!

    Yankee, just place your boots on the floor of your ride and place the heat on FEET/FLOOR.

    I can't believe that they have these products today.

    When I was a boy.........

    bought a boot and glove rack off amazon for I think $10...its made for actual boots and gloves but works with rubber great. i put them on the rack and move them over a floor vent and when the heat comes on, dry in one day.

    True. Fortunately I can afford them. Every now and then, the girls blow more than my boots.....

    Its actually 200 mexican dollars, that is why I can afford them.
    I wasn't a cop long enough to even be remembered, so no pension. Luckily, I found early in the game "not for me".

    I have a seperate room for the furnace its like africa in there. A few hours in there n its all toasty.
    Boots stink to high heaven though. Any tips to clear the funk out of em? I was thinkin of slippin odor eaters in them when not in use.

    Swellers, listen up when yankee starts a tread bouts bootsuites. He means it when he does and this guy knows bootsuite dryers. yank, I'm assuming the product you mention now trumps the quality of the one you'd always told me about?

    Ok so here's my take on it... I use something like this for my booties and gloves.

    http://www.ebay.com/itm/MaxxDry-XL-...hash=item20b54478cb:m:m6sXeQwLZLx8L-PKUopxOrg

    It is made by a few different brands BUT it is the same unit. I use mine for Skiing since the boots can get wet after an all day back country route or some heavy powder days. WORKS GREAT especially with the heat function and portable.... As far as the funk goes? yea you should rinse them really good after each use but ultimately they are gonna start to get funky.... Many use a light detergent BUT I find the best thing that works for KILLING the bacteria that creates the funk is HIBICLENS. Been using it for a long time and it will NOT harm your boots, gloves or wetsuit. I use it after every 4 or five sessions and it works great!! Also, if you want you can put a fabric softner sheet infront of the intake of this boot dryer and it will NOT inhibit airflow and will put a nice scent in your boots and gloves too but CLEAN IT WITH THE HIBICLENS first or you will be only trying to mask the odor and wind up with a nasty suit rash or foot rash.... Like I said just my .02 cents. Family full of hockey players so believe me Ive learned a thing or two about keeping the equipment bacteria free. Mersa is a ***** once you get it, youll never want to get it again!!

    Regardless of the stank, coldness, whatever...do we all agree that them boots and gloves are harder than a mofo to get on when wette?

    I hate it when people say "I wouldnt want to hit the lottery, what would you do with all that money"? Well I know what I would do and my beach front surfing home and Mountain side 12,000 sq ft ski chalet would have one of these in them for drying!!!

    Of course my Beach front surf house would have a smaller 8 pair dryer since more than 3 other people surfing with you just means more kooks taking your waves!!!:rolleyes:

    That's correcto, Spicoli & good memory by you. I like this one better cause it gets the job done & it's portable.

    Agree with TooFun: MRSA is a brutal witch, the boot dryer checks a few boxes & that's a biggie.
    Hibiclens is the real deal, as he noted, for ultimate cleansing. Probably overkill if you rinse with fresh water, allow to drip out, then dry immediately with low voltage-powered warm air & don't surf 23' Belmar.

    Wait who cares if your booties don't dry out? I usually just prop them up in the corner of the bath tub (they flop back over immediately) and just leave them there til I go surfing again. After a week they're semi-dry. But it's not like putting on a cold wetsuite. They're just booties.

    Honestly I thought MRSA was just a myth. My brother went through a bit of a mental break and kept saying he had MRSA. He really didn't, so I relegated MRSA to the same category as spinal meningitis and other scary sounding diseases that very few people actually get. Is that not correct? Any sage wisdom from the medical advicers here would be appreciated!

    Bravo. Your thoughts on boots is commendable.

    As far as MRCA, a good place to go looking for an infection is in your county jail. Be real grimy in there and touch everything and be unclean. Boils are big in there too.

    Good luck.

    MRSA requires, for the most part, for a patient to have some sort of immune deficiency, or, have been treated with antibiotics for an extended time, in an institution (hospital) where it was "selected out".. There are but a few antibiotics that work against MRSA (vancomycin) but fortunately, IT IS NOT A BACTERIAL ISOLATE ONE WILL FIND IN YOUR f u c k i n g BOOTS!!
    morons......
    So, what's next....the smell is due to islamic terrorists in booties???
