The newspaper works good and if a hair dryer is available will get them dry as others has said.

Being retired military I wear water prof boots all the time when riding or working. My wife says I am a boot collector. I have many types of boots.
The pair I use on trips are the belleville military water prof boots. They are designed for wearing in the heat with a gore-tex liner. Very light weight and comfortable. I do not think you can wear them out. It is a 8 inch boot.

In God we Trust

I tried this once before and my boots kept me up all night laughing...I made the mistake of using the "Funnies"....don't try this at home!

Thanks for the tip...going to use it for sure
