Dry feet are happy feet

Sweat, rain and snow will cause the inside of your boots to get wet—it’s pretty much unavoidable. It’s imperative you dry out wet boots overnight. If you go to work the next day with damp feet, you’ll be ending work early because of cold feet.

Boot dryers like this are worth their weight in gold. They dry boots evenly and thoroughly but don’t overdry them, which can cause the liners to get crusty and reduce their life. They cost less than $20 online and at sporting goods stores and some department stores.

Keeping a pair of dry socks on hand is also smart.
