Dryer for shoes with their own hands: simple and original designs

After walking in the rain or on wet snow boots and boots need to dry. Usually shoes are placed on top or lean against a hot radiator. The consequences are predictable: after a few procedures, the sole is peeled off or the skin is wrinkled. Shoes are badly spoiled, and the mood too. Fortunately, not everything is so bad.

How to cope with the problem?

Wet shoes can cause fungus development. If you wear wet shoes, a cold or runny nose is inevitable.

The easiest way to avoid such troubles is the installed battery dryer. It is a removable plastic or wooden grill on which damp shoes or sneakers are placed on top. A hot radiator, not in direct contact with the material of the sole, can not cause harm. The natural circulation of heated air contributes to quality drying in a few hours.

Ionic, electrical, ultrasonic, antifungal and other

To understand the devices presented by the market, we list some of their features.

1. A floor electric drier for shoes can take several pairs of boots or shoes at the same time. This is not the smallest design that occupies a certain place in the hallway.
2. Among the mini-versions, designed for one pair, there are fan-equipped, ultrasonic, ultraviolet.
3. A flexible universal electric shoe dryer has inside an insulated heating element, which is inserted inside the boot.
4. Induction mats that take up little space and are completely safe.

The choice of a particular design depends on the number of family members, the size of the hallway and the preferences of the owners. In some cases, you can independently produce a decent and convenient device for this purpose.

Unusual universal homemade drier for shoes

Why spoil your favorite boots on a hot battery when you can make a pretty decent device from a computer fan. To work, you need the following elements:

• Unnecessary working cooler;
• Meter corrugated tube;
• 12-volt power supply from the computer;
• Extension and connecting electric wires;
• Electrocob;
• Several screws;
• Electrician.

Before assembly, you need to cut a round hole in the box to fit the cooler. Corrugate is divided into two parts and for them, too, do notches in the electric box. The cooler should be inserted and fixed with screws so that air is pumped into the attached hoses. All clearances must be sealed with rubber gaskets to direct air flows in the desired direction. It turned out a dryer for shoes. With their own hands, both ends of the corrugation are inserted into the shoes, power is supplied to the device. This original design is able to work even from a car cigarette lighter, which is very important for out-of-town trips, in the country, fishing or hunting.

Non-standard use of familiar objects

In the warm season, sneakers and sneakers can simply hang over the laces on the clothesline. Sometimes they are attached with clothespins. Breeze helps to weaken moisture. In the apartment you have to use home appliances. In urgent cases helps even blowing a hairdryer.

The shoe dryer can be made from the usual "wind" - a home heater with a fan. A wet pair is put on a low stool. The air blown by the hot air is brought to a normal state in 2-3 hours. It is strictly recommended not to leave the heater switched on for a long time (at night) unattended - in order to avoid a sudden short circuit.

Quickly absorb moisture clumps of crumpled newspaper sheets, placed inside the boots. The inconvenience brings the need for a regular (in an hour and a half) replacement of moistened paper. If you combine these two methods: pieces of newspaper and blowing "wind", the result will be achieved much faster.

Apartment stove-heater - dryer for shoes

With your own hands, you can create a completely original and useful device for the indicated purpose. It will be necessary in advance to stock up the river stones of medium size. Then a wooden frame is prepared - a frame with low walls, outwardly resembling a box for vegetables. The oil heater on the side will serve as a bottom. From the bottom, it is mounted on a frame with legs, and on top of it lay out cooked pebbles.

Such a device can be kept always on, since it has a temperature regulator. Wet shoes are placed on a heated pebble and kept until completely dry.

The size of the structure depends on the dimensions of the radiator. The shoe dryer has been made with your own hands, you can use it. It will fit a few pairs, which do not threaten neither overheating nor drying.
