Redneckoflatham Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Boot dryer and a little bit of silicone will fill the hole no problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawdwaz Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Wadded up newspaper will help the moisture wick away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeBugg Posted November 14, 2013 Author Share Posted November 14, 2013 I fixed the tear with silicone. Right now i have some blue shop towels wadded up in it the toe area to see if that works. After that the hair dryer comes out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeeBugg Posted November 14, 2013 Author Share Posted November 14, 2013 (edited) Ill probably end up buying a boot dryer eventually. Too close to christmas though! Blue shop towels seem to be working good though. Edited November 14, 2013 by TeeBugg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F-150 Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 (edited) Connect the hose of a shop vac or vac cleaner to the discharge outlet so it blows air and place the hose inside the boot. Good Luck!!!!!! Edited November 15, 2013 by F-150 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waldershrek Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 I have a Peet dryer but prior to that I just set them upside down over heater vent in the house. They'd always dry by morning although obviously it depends on how often your heat kicks on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbHunterNY Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 it'd work much quicker if you take out the insoles. i'm surprised at how many people don't do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CuseHunter Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 My much boots got wet inside and I needed to hunt the next day so I put them on the floor inside with the opening facing the heating duct vent in my hallway enterence. Don't know if that is the "proper" way, but it worked great and the rubber didn't crack or anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeBugg Posted November 22, 2013 Author Share Posted November 22, 2013 They did dry out. Then i discovered a new crack on the other boot haha! Theyll last this season then im looking at some new underarmour insulated boots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbHunterNY Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Muck boots awesome. If something happens to them it's a freak occurrence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanceswithSkunks Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Muck Woody Bayou. One size larger and use a good set of Merino wool socks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
