Each of us had to repeatedly deal with such a problem as getting wet shoes. In summer we get caught in the rain, in autumn we are surrounded by slush and dampness at every step, in winter our shoes suffer from snow. During a thaw, moisture seeps into boots and boots, causing an unpleasant sensation and threatening colds. And no matter how hard we try to be careful, we have to part with our favorite products quite early.
Of course, many save wet shoes by leaving them to dry by the battery, but this method pretty soon leads to deformation and damage to the products. And it is not so easy to dry the shoes completely, especially in hard-to-reach places.
It takes a lot of time to dry naturally, and, as a rule, it is often not enough. Electric shoe dryers will help get rid of such problems.
Device types
An electric dryer is the simplest device. A miniature and compact product is most often made in the form of heated socks, which you just need to insert into wet shoes, and then plug the cord into the outlet. Due to thermal radiation, the material heats up without touching the surface of the shoes. Dryer does not work negative impact on the appearance of the shoe, does not deform it, since it dries the surface only from the inside. The device consumes electricity 5-8 W, which is quite a bit.
Shoe dryer with ultraviolet - a model equipped with an ultraviolet lamp. She not only dries boots and boots, but also disinfects them. Such a light bulb does not pose any danger to adults, children and animals, since it has a fairly narrow spectrum of action.
Antifungal. This device works on the principle of a conventional electric dryer, but due to the enhanced radiation spectrum, it also has an antifungal effect. A few procedures are enough to leave no trace of bacteria and fungi. For the purpose of prevention, this device can be used for slippers and slippers that have been in a bath, pool or sauna. An important advantage of such a dryer is its ability to dry wet shoes in a matter of hours. Due to double insulation, the product is fireproof.
Let's take a closer look at what a UV shoe dryer is, as it has an antifungal and antibacterial effect. It is also important that this type of device is also capable of removing unpleasant odors. Today, manufacturers produce appliances in the form of dryer inserts and lamps.
UV lamps for drying shoes
These devices are powered by batteries, so they can be used at work or leisure. Dryer lamps operate automatically, turn off by themselves. Ultraviolet in the shortest possible time destroys fungi, microbes and even Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Special silica gel desiccants absorb moisture and dry to keep any shoe safe.
Among the features of these devices, one can single out their fire safety, as they are protected by shatter-proof plastic, which will not cause harm, even if you accidentally step on the device.
How do electric UV dryers work?
The ultraviolet shoe dryer is extremely simple and consists of a heating element and an ultraviolet lamp. To completely dry the shoes, the device needs an average of 5-8 hours, since it heats up to a low temperature without injuring the skin or other delicate materials.
Such devices consume 6-12 W and are safe even with prolonged use, it cannot lead to a fire.
The design of an ultraviolet shoe dryer directly depends on its cost. The average price is 500 rubles or more, depending on the manufacturer and what lamps are installed in the device. Most often, ultraviolet dryers are made in the form of an insert, although more interesting designs are also found.
UV liners for drying shoes
Such products are very convenient for use in everyday life due to the shape that follows the shape of the foot. With their help, shoes can be dried in a few hours.
The shoe dryer with ultraviolet light is very economical, and the balanced temperature regime and the body made of non-flammable plastic completely exclude overheating or ignition of shoes. Thanks to ultraviolet irradiation and a temperature of +70 degrees, antibacterial shoe cleaning is performed.
How to use UV shoe inserts?
Each plastic device is placed inside the shoe, then the device is connected to the mains. After a few hours, the appliance turns off. The shoes are perfectly dried and processed. If, for any reason, the dryer is not turned off, the low temperature regime will not cause a fire.
Benefits of using ultrasonic shoe dryer
Electric shoe dryers with ultraviolet light are not cheap, but the cost of such an acquisition is fully offset by the fact that when using the device, shoes, shoes and boots retain a presentable appearance for much longer. It is especially recommended to purchase a household dryer for families with children, as well as for people who stay during the day on long trips or play sports. The appliance will help out in the off-season and wet, rainy weather.
This useful device successfully used by pet owners. They place the device in a house, basket or container where the pet sleeps. The dryer switched on for several hours destroys the unpleasant odor and disinfects the “bed”.
Repair of shoe dryers with ultraviolet light can be easily done by hand.

Despite the heat outside, the value of shoe dryers not only does not decrease, but perhaps even increases. Personally, I have to wear shoes even in summer. And in the heat, shoes get wet even faster than in autumn.
The other day, when I decided to dry my shoes, I discovered that one of the dryers was not working. We undertake brain repairs of our dryers.
So, we turn on our dryers in the network and see that one dryer does not want to glow, and does not want to warm up either.
We turn off the network. Open the cover by unscrewing the screws. We get the following picture:
The scheme, as we see, is completely uncomplicated. I must say right away that there should be four LEDs in the original, but somehow they already burned out. I was able to collect only three, and the fourth, simply, was replaced by a jumper.
Our dryer has one very vulnerable spot - the heating element. He sits under the radiator plate.
This is true! The wiring flew off and our whole circuit was broken. We solder it back. You have to solder carefully. It is better to fix it with something until the solder completely hardens. The fact is that the heating element is a ceramic plate on which something similar has been applied. appearance on graphite. Although it may be graphite. The contact points were covered with a very thin layer of foil, and it successfully came off along with the wire. Therefore, it is necessary to solder on the edge of the ceramics and the conductive part. Both there and there the connection will be fragile, but we can’t carry sacks of potatoes on it.
We believe. Everything glows! And it heats up!
We carefully turn the plate over (it was the most difficult moment for me - a couple of times the posting did fall off), and we collect everything in a heap. We check again.
In total, having lost 15 minutes of time, and practically not a penny of money (electricity and huge costs of solder and rosin are not taken into account 🙂), we have newly revived dryers, which I bought for almost $ 15.
We can run to dry our shoes.
