Any Form of Heat Will Accelerate the Drying Process
Ideally, your boots will dry fast if you leave them out in the sun. This is, however, impossible if you are in a cold snowy region. The alternative would be using artificial heat sources like:
Hot air racksClose to a radiator or a portable heaterHang them over a closed fireplacePut them in a hot boot bagUse portable boot dryers
Most of the makeshift techniques above can burn your boots or the liners if you are not keen. This will make the boots harder to fit or simply unaesthetic. That is why we always encourage our readers to invest in a good snowboard boot dryer.
Preparing Your Boots for Drying
Before you use your chosen form of drying, it would be wise to prepare the boots. This gets rid of any dirt and dries off most of the water before you start applying the heat.
Remove your boots as soon as you canTake out the liners and or footbed of the boot if it is removable. They will clean and dry better when detachedIf the liners are not removable, shove some crushed newspaper pages or tissues into the boot and leave them there for 30 minutes. The paper will absorb most of the moisture and order.If your boot is too wet, you can swap the waterlogged paper to pull out more moistureUse a damp cloth to wipe the outside of the clean and leave it to dryYou can now put the boots into a boot dryer or place them next to a heat source to finish the drying process
