Nov 14 2007Shoe Dryer Prevents Wet and Smelly Shoes
The Eco Shoes Dryer, from Life In Detail, is a product designed to dry your shoes out if they get wet or if you're gross and your feet sweat (like mine). It’s packed with silica gel (do not eat contents of packet) that absorb moisture. After the gel is saturated you plug it in to remove all the water from the gel so it's ready to go again. A single unit will set you back about $27. I definitely need one, because I have what I like to call "ass-feet". It's basically a condition where your feet smell like complete ass. When I was in college if I didn't like the person sitting in the desk in front of me I'd wear my nasty shoes and slide my feet under their seat. They would be miserable for the rest of the class. And not only that, but everyone around always thought they’d shit their pants.

It's actually practical.

It's practical, but also completely unnecessary. If you just stuff your shoes with newspaper it will dry them out in a matter of hours and then you can just toss the newspaper. No need to use electricity when you've already got the solution on your doormat.

Another reason to thank your college admins if they didn't allow students to carry guns.

Not all of us pay for electricity, we use solar energy. I didn't say it's the only thing that works. Also putting them out in the sun, or putting silica gel in there, then drying the gel by putting it in the oven on low heat. There are many practical ways to dry shoes.

I've already got a shoes dryer. It's called the porch. Sometimes it's called the fan but mostly it's called the porch.
