I tend to turn my boots upside down for 24hrs to drain, then leave my boots the right way up to dry out.

Its nearly a week since my last ride and my boots still haven't dried out properly, so I have brought them inside and put them in front of the fire. Thumbs Up

I am thinking of making a boot rack so I can elevate the boots whilst still having them them turned upside down.

So what do you do???

I don't mean tricks like newspaper etc, I am purely talking orientation ....

Steal two traffic cones on your way home from the pub. Put the boots on them upside down for a few hours to drain them. Remove the boots and stand them right way up with lots of newspaper inside for a day or so.

Pop them in the spare room, right way up stuffed with socks filled with (clean) cat litter and a sprinkle of nice smelling oil - dry in a day regardless of how wet they've got!! Thumbs Up
