The Kooder Boot Dryer is a set of two shoe inserts (one plug) that's designed to give off just enough heat to dry your boots and shoes from the inside out. It's a huge time-saver (and shoe-saver) for people who live in a wet climate.

"I live in the Portland Oregon area and we get a lot of rain," wrote one of over 6,000 five-star reviewers. "My shoes are often soaked. I just insert the shoe dryer and in a few hours my shoes are dry and warm."

"As a mail carrier this was the best purchase I made, especially when we have rainy weather," wrote another happy shopper. "I was able to dry my shoes when I had them soaked from walking all day in the rain. They were fully dry and ready to use the next day."

It's a pretty useful gadget year-round, and not just in winter. Our feet are the sweatiest parts of our bodies (the palms of our hands and soles of our feet have the most sweat glands) — and our shoes soak it up. And you know what that means: stinky shoes and boots. Keeping your shoes dry is one step toward closing up the breeding ground for bacteria, and the Kooder Boot Dryer can be a savior: "Smelly shoes no more," wrote another rave reviewer.

"This shoe dryer is amazing!" another grateful shopper shared. "My husband works for a Highway Department and always comes home with damp, disgustingly smelly work boots. I got these for him for Christmas and the difference they’ve made is mind-blowing. Not only does my husband now have warm & dry boots to put on every morning but our house is no longer funked up by his nasty, stanky boots!"

If you're a skier, shoppers say it's a must-have.

"This product is a necessity if you ski," raved another shopper. "I bought this for a backcountry skiing trip to Utah. Put it in my boots after every day of touring in the backcountry (soup boots), and they dried within 3-4 hrs. Quick enough to dry my girlfriend's boots as well every day."
