I bought this boot dryer at a garage sale for $10. It has saved me from buying new shoes.

It's great for all weather, especially the mud we get here. I'm not afraid of scrubbing up my shoes in the sink, because I pop them on the boot dryer and they're ready to go for work the next morning. All of my shoes/boots are looking great because I'm not afraid to take care of them anymore. Helps keep them feeling "new" and not like I have to buy a new pair.

Also: warm boots when I go outside in the snow lol
