Why use shoe dryers? | ski-shop.ch

Wet shoes are hard to avoid in winter sports. But wet shoes are not only unpleasant, they also damage the material and may lead to mold growth or increase the wearer's susceptibility to athlete's foot. Apart from that, it is simply not a good feeling to step into a shoe that is still damp.

For reasons of both hygiene and comfort, it is therefore advisable to use a high-quality shoe dryer. These appliances work according to a very simple principle. On the one hand, they heat the shoes using an electric heating element and constantly exchange the air inside via a fan. The constant exchange of air not only accelerates the drying process, but also creates a hygienic climate in the shoe in which bacteria and fungi have a hard time.
