Spring is coming soon. This means that sidewalks in all corners of the country, and not only in the capitals, will be covered with extensive puddles. After overcoming which, most models of casual shoes will require drying.
What is the right way to dry shoes? Let’s start with the fact that drying shoes with external sources of heat (near a fire or on a radiator) is extremely harmful for them. The leather may dry out and the soles may peel off. The most favorable way for the condition of shoes is to dry them naturally at room temperature. If the shoes are very wet: absorbent material is placed inside — crumpled paper. If the shoes are leather and quite expensive, it is better to use natural wood mold holders. It will absorb excess moisture.
The next, slightly less gentle, but faster way is to blow the inner surface of the shoe with streams of warm (rather than hot) air. There are quite a few models of such dryers on the market.
Well, the most numerous, but also the most dangerous dryers for shoes are models with heating elements. However, if there is an adjustment and limitation of heating, then your shoes may not suffer. You just need to choose the right dryer model.
Wooden mold holders
The best option for expensive leather shoes. If you wear shoes every day, it’s a good idea to have at least two pairs of shoes and two pairs of mold holders, and alternate between them to dry.
I have provided a link to the very best rose cedar mold holders. There are different sizes to choose from. If the price seems off-budget to you, in the same store there are New Zealand pine mold holders for almost half the price. When choosing, pay attention that the tree is not varnished, that’s when it will be possible to use the device for drying.

The device has several degrees of protection against air overheating. As well as special blowing scenarios to speed up the drying process.

I deliberately did not include in the selection the cheapest, and therefore, the most popular options for dryers with heating elements.

She, and dries relatively quickly, and the shoes will not spoil.
