Wall-mounted shoe dryer

Rainy day out, so when you get back to the house you can throw your soaked shoes on the radiator--if you can live with the smell that fills the room five minutes later. For those that can't hack the stench there's the Eco Shoes Dryer, made from absorbent silica gel. It plugs right into the wall and will set you back less than 30 bucks, a welcome price to pay for dry feet.

OK, it is either backward or you have to cut a hole through the heal of you shoe to plug it in.

TordekNovember 15, 2007 7:30 PM

Maybe it's just me, but... is the plug suppossed to pierce through the shoe sole? :S

cullerNovember 15, 2007 9:04 PM

right... because the first thing we all want to do is plug a sopping wet shoe into an electrical outlet.

wasn't there a PSA at the end of a gi joe episond that illustrated this situation?

MarkNovember 16, 2007 7:06 AM

Nice idea, but come on, can you imagine how dirty the wall would be after a few uses. If your shoes are wet, they're gonna be muddy and dirty. Appealing, but could be a little smarter. Why does it need to stick into the wall. Have it corded leading to 2 of them and you can put them on a mat while they dry.

I must be missing something. Does this device insert into your shoe? If so, how would one then plug the device in, if the plug is in the bottom of the shoe's heel?

mikeNovember 16, 2007 11:34 AM

great idea, but putting WET shoes on an ELECTRICAL outlet seems a little risky

ConcernedNovember 17, 2007 7:17 AM

It looks as if the plug would have to go through the heel of the shoe. Do you plug in to charge and then flip down the plug and put the dryer into the shoe?

no longer concernedNovember 17, 2007 7:22 AM

I went to the site you got it from. It makes sense. It is plugged in to recharge/dry the gel.
