If you want your boots to last, making sure that your boots are fully dried after usage keeps bacteria, mold and mildew from forming. This Peet Boot Dryer is simple, cheap and effective at drying boots. It will silently dry your boots over the course of 3-8 hours, and you won’t even know the contraption is running. It does this while using less energy than a light bulb.

I’d never heard of a boot dryer before, but the concept makes sense. Outside of keeping boots oiled, keeping them dry is essential to making sure that they last. And probably more importantly for me, a boot dryer also deodorizes your boots, keeping funk from forming.

The dryer comes with a 25-year warranty, and is safe with all sorts of materials like leather, synthetics, fleece, and any other material you can throw at it. For only $40, the Peet boot dryer is affordable and will last longer than your boots.
