Warming Shoe Inserts

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Dr. Dry Shoe Dryer Keeps Footwear Fresh Before or After Wear

— January 28, 2016 — Fashion
As consumers look for cost-effective ways to help the extend the life of products like shoes, aftermarket goods like the Dr. Dry shoe dryer are coming about. Designed to offer an effective way to help dehumidify any kind of shoe desired, the Dr. Dry inserts work quickly to dry freshly washed shoes.

The Dr. Dry inserts also work effectively to dry wet shoes if the wearer gets caught in inclement weather conditions. On cold days, the inserts allow users to warm up their footwear prior to use.

One of the best features is that the Dr. Dry shoe dryer helps to eliminate extra moisture, which in turn will have a deodorizing effect. This can help to extend the life of a pair of shoes that would otherwise be discarded because of odors.

3. Multi-function Shoe Inserts - A trend of multi-function shoe inserts is emerging, with products like the Dr. Dry shoe dryer serving as both a dehumidifier and shoe warmer.
