With the weather taking a more miserable wet and windy turn, many of us have been rushing to get home and change into our warm, cosy clothes after being caught in an unexpected downpour. However, while it is easy to get rid of your damp clothes by chucking them in the washing machine as we can wear something new the next day, the same can’t be said for our shoes. However, to avoid long drying times and our shoes gaining a pungent smell, Amazon has a handy gadget. Normally retailing for £24.99, shoppers can now snap up the Snowpea Electric Shoe Dryer for the slightly lower price of £21.24 in a limited time deal.

Perfect for those wanting to take the chill out of their shoes in the morning or to dry gym shoes, this device is suitable for all types of shoes. Featuring 1532 air-holes throughout its surface, the shoe dryer will ensure an even distribution of heat while also accelerating moisture evaporation. Featuring a cable, all shoppers need to do is plug the device into a socket and place them inside their favourite shoes. Also equipped with precise temperature control, this device will keep the drying temperature at 55C in order to protect your shoes from overheating while in use. Said to run safely and silently, the device comes with three timer settings – three, sixth and nine hours – to best tackle a variety of different shoes. Another popular product on Amazon is the Electric Shoe Dryer and Deodorizer. Retailing for £29.90, this gadget comes with six different timers and provides 360 degree even heating. This dryer is also perfect for warming up your socks in the morning. Alternatively, Debenhams has reduced the price of the HOMCOM Two Pairs Electric Wall Mounted Shoe Dryer . Normally retailing for £99.99, shoppers can now snap it up for only £29.74. Once plugged in and mounted to the wall, this dryer can warm up two sets of shoes while also removing any odour. Back to the Snowpea Electric Shoe Dryer , it currently holds a 4.4 star rating from over 2,100 Amazon shoppers, with over 1,000 customers buying the gadget in the last 30 days. One chuffed customer said: “The Snowpea Electric Shoe Dryer has been a lifesaver, especially during rainy weather. As someone who spends a lot of time outdoors, wet shoes were always an issue, but this dryer has solved that problem quickly and efficiently.” With another five-star reviewer adding: “Absolutely love this. Has been a game changer in my house, from wet wellies due to puddle jumping, running in the rain and all the other things our UK weather brings with it. My shoes and their shoes are dry in a matter of hours. I’ve recommended to a few of my friends.” However, other customers left mixed reviews. One person wrote: “Heats up quickly, but doesn’t overheat. It has three timer settings. Would be better if it could be used via a battery pack/USB as well as a mains outlet. The advert says ‘silent’ – which is not true. It’s quiet, but definitely not silent.” While another person noted: “These work well, and are a well needed product that I’m happy are finally on the market. However, they do take hours and hours to dry the shoes, even on max power.” On the flip side, a delighted top reviewer commented: “If you play outdoor sports in rain or damp conditions, the Snowpea Electric Shoe Dryer is an absolute game-changer! I was constantly dealing with damp, sweaty shoes after practice, which would stay wet and uncomfortable for days. “But with this dryer I can have dry, warm shoes overnight, ready for the next day. It’s been a lifesaver, especially during the rainy season and in colder weather when nothing dries quickly on its own.” Shoppers can now snatch up the Snowpea Electric Shoe Dryer for only £21.24.
