The best shoe dryers 2022

Snow, rain and sleet are the weather conditions that make us worry about our shoes. Moisture gets even into shoe models equipped with a waterproof membrane. Agree that it’s rather unpleasant to find sneakers or boots with a puddle inside in the morning. You can leave them to dry in the hallway and put on another pair, but this attitude will certainly lead to deformation of the appearance and an unpleasant smell. Also, wet shoes can cause various diseases. In particular, mycosis and joint pain. But there is a way out, because we live in the 21st century. A shoe dryer is an electrical device that removes moisture quickly and easily. To date, there are several types of these devices: dryers for shoes in the form of a rug, a dryer-form holder and dryers for shoes with ultraviolet light. In this article, we will consider the first type of devices. Most mats are equipped with IR emitters. They are powered by electricity. Also, the rug is convenient in that you can place several pairs of shoes on it at once. KP ranked the top 10 best dryers.

How to choose a shoe dryer

The above devices do not differ too much from each other in terms of technical characteristics. However, there are still some nuances. KP asked for help in choosing a device to 21vek online hypermarket consultant Alina Lugovaya.

Temperature conditions

According to the expert, this indicator is the most important when choosing a shoe dryer. After all, leather, fabrics, rubber and other materials can lose their original properties with sudden changes in temperature and prolonged contact with moisture. The dryer must be equipped with a regulator. The most optimal temperature is 40 degrees Celsius.

Energy costs

Most dryer mats are purchased to run 24 hours a day. Therefore, it is important to consider the energy consumption of such a device.

Material

These rugs can be used not only as shoe dryers, but also as a foot warmer or a sleeping place for a cat. However, one should not forget about their primary task. Pay special attention to the material from which the rug is made. It should be non-marking and easy to wash.

Security

An important indicator is the level of reliability of protection against electric shock. Be sure to check with the consultant which heating element is installed in the rug. Is there a risk of ignition?

Otherwise, the dryer does not require any special preparation for operation – you just need to plug the power cord into a household outlet and place the rug in the right place. Before buying, be sure to test the gadget in the store.
