PEET Original Boot Dryer Review: Dry Ski Boots by Morning?

A silent electric dryer that pushes gentle warm air into boots overnight. Why wet liners make cold feet, and why a slow dryer is the point.

Verdict

Yes, for skiers on multi day trips or in a ski cabin. It dries most footwear overnight with no fan and no noise [1], and PEET backs it with a 25 year warranty [1]. Skip it for anyone who needs boots dry in an hour, because it dries slowly.

Wet liners make cold feet

Ski boot liners soak up sweat all day. Left by the door, they are still damp in the morning, and damp liners mean cold feet by the second run. A dryer turns that into warm, dry boots before breakfast.

PEET has made footwear dryers since 1955 [1], and the Original is the one most ski shops know.

Silent air through the DryPorts

The Original uses gentle warm air that rises through the DryPorts with no fans and no noise [1]. It can stay plugged in all the time and uses less electricity than a low wattage bulb, at 36 W [1].

PEET says it dries most footwear overnight and is safe for leather, rubber, neoprene and synthetics [1]. Helmet, glove and mitten DryPorts are sold separately [1].

Slow is the point, and the limits

This is not a fast hot air dryer. Gentle heat protects liners and leather, but it takes the whole night. A skier who wants boots dry over lunch will be disappointed.

Boots taller than 11 inches need the 12 inch extensions, sold separately [1].

The cabin gift

It is the gift for the ski cabin or the hotel room. Pair it with the Athletico boot bag from this guide so the boots travel and dry in one routine.

Add the glove DryPort later, and the Kinco gloves dry on the same base.

FAQ

Does the PEET dryer work on ski boots?

Yes. The PEET Original Electric Shoe and Boot Dryer dries most footwear overnight with gentle warm air [1], including the liners inside ski boots. Many skiers pull the liners out and dry them directly on the DryPorts for the fastest result [1]

How long does the PEET dryer take?

PEET says the Original dries most footwear overnight [1]. It uses slow, gentle convection with no fan [1], so it is made to run while you sleep, not to dry boots in an hour [1]

Is it safe to leave the PEET dryer plugged in?

PEET says the Original can be left plugged in around the clock and uses less electricity than a low wattage light bulb, at 36 W [1]. It has no fan and makes no noise, and it carries a 25 year warranty when registered [1]
