 I never knew how much I needed this until I bought it February 11, 2008
I have two kids 5 & 7 in New England. After we had our January thaw I knew I needed to do something. Both my kids have two pairs of snow boots that are "mostly" water proof, except when it comes to total submersion in puddles. After a few days of thaw both sets of boots were wet. And since they are mostly water proof I couldn't dry them out overnight, and that was even after letting them sit on the radiator. The next step was to break out a hair dryer and that sort of worked except my Sons boots really stunk. Pewwww... And that still didn't do it because I wasn't willing to put in the hour or so that I would have needed. My experience with water proof gloves and the dryer told me that wouldn't work either because the outside dries, but the fingers remain wet.
I looked at local sporting good stores and they had a few different kinds of boot dryers. One for campers that uses propane and another convection one. Overall junk.
I finally decided on the DryGuy because it had good reviews. The one I ordered from Amazon was the standard body - though I was looking for the wide body, but to my pleasant surprise the wide body - your millage may very.
Once I unpacked it I was surprised that it was so small. It looked about two times larger in the picture my mind had painted. I set it up and put it on top of the dryer next to the washing machine so it would be out of the way and have a close power cord. Then I waited for another thaw as my wife made fun of me for spending so much.
The thaw came except this time we never ran out of boots. I never had two wet at any one time. My son came in with boots that were literally dripping wet from the inside. A little over two hours later for excessively wet boots and they were dry again. This thing rocks!!! One morning before school I noticed that no one had dried the boots. I stuck them on the DryGuy and went about getting everyone ready. Right before school toasty dry boots. By the way, the stink is gone as well. I'm sure that was from never getting them dry enough or taking too long to dry them in the past.
My wife has also been convinced. She was skeptical, but has been very impressed. Two things have changed for us with the DryGuy.
1. We don't keep a drying rack anymore for gloves and mittens. Stick one pair of wet gloves on with a pair of boots. It works excellent on gloves.
2. We will only need to buy one pair of better quality boots next season, since we had to buy two just to have a spare. We will eventually pay for the DryGuy in boot and glove savings. Ditto with not needing three pairs of gloves.
I have not used other boot dryers, but I'm sure this is the Cadillac of boot dryers after using it. It has literally just become and appliance for us. Meaning we don't think about it or question how well it works. It simply works.
 Tough winter with DRY Feet February 8, 2008
My husband loves this boot dryer that I purchased as a gift for him. We have had a brutal winter in our part of the country and when he comes home from work the boots go on the dryer and are great to put on the next morning. After two months of hard use it seems to be well built and works great.
DryGuy February 8, 2008
Great at drying boots. I am a size 11, my ski boots flip the base over if i dont put another pair of boots on it . I am concerned about the drying wands as they seriously flex when i put my ski boots on. I hope they continue to hold up as they are supposed to.
Warm and Dry January 15, 2008
This is a must-have product for those of us that live in snowy regions and even more so if you have children. I love the auto shut-off feature. The unit does not get too hot so you can use it with confidence.
Outstanding value December 11, 2007

As parents of young children who have battled wet gloves and boots for years, desperately trying to dry them for the next day, we bought this product based on the reviews here.
Simply put, it is outstanding. Expensive? Probably. But this dryer is incredibly effective at QUIETLY and QUICKLY drying both gloves and boots.
Our only complaint? We didn't know about it three years ago.
