Drying leather steel-toed boots quickly without damage?
the boots will break the coating off the steel inside the dryer





then the inside of the dryer will get rust spots





then anything you dry in there any time afterward will get those rust spot copies





use a small fan lay the boots on their sides





loosen the laces so the tongue of the boot will hang out





let the fan blow into the boots for a couple hours





then flip the boots over to the other side and give it a couple more hours
Reply:Normally you%26#039;d stuff them with newspaper to absorb the moisture, replacing often.....but since time is paramount, I%26#039;d use the hair dryer technique above and then oil down the leather quite well before he puts the boots on tomorrow.
Reply:Set them in front of a floor fan....:)
