Answer 2

Good job to you out there working at the sharp end of things. I live in an area where Northern Sales have stores, and sell a device where you can upend your damp boots onto a heated coil and they'll be dry in the ayem. If you don't have the luxury of that sort of gear (about $35.) I'd suggest stuffing your boots with dry rolled up newspaper in the short term.
Also for the duration of this washing trucks gig, trim down carrier bags so that you can fit your foot + sock in and then into boot. I'm not talking 35 gallon bags but something smaller. Even the sort of shopping bag you get from your local store will work. It may have a couple of holes in it, but way hey it will keep you from getting trench foot.

The best thing to do is to make a trip to your local second-hand or thrift store and find yourself a pair of rubber boots. I found a pair, almost new, for five dollars at a Salvation Army store.

Barring that, dry your hiking boots by unlacing them completely, placing them upside down over a floor vent, and turning on your furnace's fan, only. Heated air, while better at drying, will soon ruin leather, canvas, or plastic.

Answer 4

place them upright, on the hot/cold water pipes of the water heater the low heat will dry them you can go with the other things where you pay 40 buck or so for a thing that sends hot hair up a tube that holds your boots, but why my dad did this when I was a kid i still use it if my boots are wet, it works

Answer 5

Dry then as good as you can with paper towels and then lay them down in front of your refrigerator. The heat coming from the cooling fan usually does a good job. I dry gym shoes there after washing them and they dry overnight. Good luck.

Answer 6

I use to stand the boots upside down on the heating vents,they will dry overnight and you can also buy a plastic tray for them and you can dry gloves and boots it sits right on the heat register.

Answer 7

well i guess it;s a little too late but i always dry mine on the way home with the heater in my truck i set it so it only blows on the floor and if you are at home the heat from your home should be enough to dry the boots

Answer 8

Use a hair dryer. You'll be done in a few minutes. Don't put it in the boot because you can burn out the motor.

Answer 9

dry them as good as you can with hand towels stuck inside them.after a while turn them sideways and turn a fan on.hope it works.i dry my athletic shoes by ceiling fan.
