My husband and I absolutely love this item. We use it every day. It makes your shoes toasty and warm. Perfect just before you head out into the snow. I don't recomend having soaking wet shoes be put on this thing as it is not made to dry shoes. It is made more to warm them and if they are a little damp they will dry your shoe but if you have soaking wet shoes use your clothes dryer. I would recomend this product to anyone that just wants warm shoes to put on before you go out in cold/snowy weather. Our friends come over and they all argue about who gets to put their shoes on the dryer. I could not find this product in any store. I found similar products but not this one.
