I've hung them upside down over a forced air register overnight in a pinch.
I have and they wont be, toe box will hold moisture. Just wont feel like it since its warm. Plus if you’re running the hair dryer on high heat, it will ruin the insulation as well as the Goretex. It also wont dry the leather in that time frame. You also don’t want to dry leather with high heat.
The best I’ve found is the Peet forced air heat selectable twin dryer. It puts warm air in the toe box which moves moist air out of the boot top. It will have a pair of soaked boots, inside and out dry by morning without damage to the leather or other materials. It also has a digital timer.
I agree on the two pair of boots! It only takes one time to walk a few miles with the sole flopping off or the side blown out of a boot to appreciate having an extra pair with you.Well works for me, always run on cool or low heat. The flow of air is unmatched. If you have a long time I’m sure a boot dryer works great. Had one and sold it because most times I didn’t have 8 plus hours to accomplish drying my boots.
However on the whole subject. I think it’s a real good reason to own and bring two pair of boots!

I won’t pretend to be an authority on it. But I’ve heard that sleeping with boots in your bag is typical.I wonder how stuffing wool socks/bases in them and putting in the boots in the bottom of a synthetic bag overnight or all day would work in a pinch in the backcountry?
