The moisture evaporates only from the outside, the material begins to change its shape, crack, and the glued parts can fall away altogether.
• Rubber boots feel great near the electric heater or on the battery. If the source of heat is excessively hot, turn the plank under the shoes. Only the insulation should be removed from the shoes and placed separately on the battery.
• If you decide to use a hairdryer, you need to choose the right temperature. It must be only cold blowing.
• Dry the sneakers and sneakers after washing is not advised in automatic drying, but in a natural way.

1. The material from which the device is made must be of a high quality. This you can determine even in appearance.
2. Absolutely all parts must be tightly twisted, so that there are no cracks, no backlashes, no traces of glue, no burrs.
3. The power cord must be double insulated, flexible, and too thin and protected at the base. Check the length of the power cord: if it turns out to be very short, you may need to buy an extension cord as well.
4. Well, when the heating element is made of ceramics - in this case the drying is safe and fast.
5. In the dryer housing, there must be openings so that the air inside can freely circulate, and thus the shoes dries faster
6. The time for which the electric dryer is heated is usually indicated in the instruction. The heating time of the dryer is less, the better. The optimal time is considered to be up to 15 minutes. If the heating time is more than 20-30 minutes - this is too long.
