I have 2 kids that play soccer, lacrosse, basketball and horseback riding.  Shoes are constantly wet.  My husband and I were always battling about keeping the shoes in the house or outside (where they would never dry if it wasn't sunny and warm).  I finally had enough and looked for a shoe dryer.

I don't know why I didn't buy one sooner!  QUIET -- no fan.  Works on convection heat.  No smells.  Shoes are dry and warm in the morning.

I've now dried goalie gloves, UGGS, horse boots and many cleats on it.  Well worth every penny.
