A pair of work shoes beside an entryway bench

The smell is still there when you put them back on.

You kick your shoes off after work. By morning the outside looks dry, but the lining still feels damp and that stale smell hits as soon as you pick them up.

Why the smell sticks around

Sweat can linger in the lining after you take your shoes off. Bacteria naturally found on skin can break down compounds in sweat and produce that familiar smell. Give the pair somewhere to dry, then clean and freshen it as needed.

How SneakerFlow™ works

Dry where the dampness hides.

One drying arm goes inside each shoe, right where the lining can still feel damp. Give one compatible pair a place to dry, then check inside the toe and along the lining before you wear it again.

My boots are finally dry by morning

I work construction and my boots get soaked pretty much daily in the winter, either from rain, snow, or just sweating in them for 10 hours. Used to stuff them with newspaper every night and half the time they'd still be damp at 5am, which is a miserable way to start a shift. Got this thing and now I just set my boots on it when I walk in the door and forget about them. By morning they're completely dry and actually warm, which sounds small but is honestly huge at 5am in January. My wife says the mudroom doesn't smell like stale boot anymore either. Should've bought one years ago.

No more running in wet shoes

I run early mornings and deal with rain more often than not, and I was that person stuffing shoes with newspaper and praying they'd dry by the next run. Sometimes they didn't, and running in damp shoes feels exactly like running with sponges strapped to your feet. I was worried the heat might mess up the foam in my shoes since I've read hot dryers can do that, but this one gets warm without getting hot, and my shoes have held up fine after months of near-daily use. Shoes are dry overnight, every time. That's all I needed it to do.

Hesitated on the price, don't regret it

I'm a teacher so $70 on a shoe dryer felt like a splurge, and I sat on the fence for weeks. Should not have waited. I walk to school and back and my shoes were constantly damp, plus the kids' shoes smell, and this solved both. It's simple to use, doesn't take up much space in our tiny entryway, and the included cleaning kit was nicer than I expected. Two months in and it's running every single day without issue. Sometimes you get what you pay for and this is one of those times.

Your free five-piece cleaning kit

Five useful pieces. One complete clean-up routine. Every dryer includes a foaming cleaner, two brushes, a microfiber cloth and a shoe deodorizer.

Explore and use your kit

Foaming sneaker cleaner Start with the foam Cream-bristle brush Clean the uppers and seams Black-bristle brush Give sole edges their own brush Microfiber cleaning cloth Wipe away loosened dirt Shoe deodorizer spray Finish with a freshen-up
Foaming sneaker cleaner

Foaming sneaker cleaner

Start with the foam

Work on everyday dirt and scuffs with the foaming sneaker cleaner. Apply it as directed on the bottle, then gently work over the area with a brush suited to your shoe material.

A little attention to the outside pairs with a proper place to dry the inside.

Cream-bristle brush

Cream-bristle brush

Clean the uppers and seams

Give the upper part of your shoe its own brush. Work the cleaner gently across suitable areas, using small strokes around seams and textured surfaces.

Keeping a separate brush for the sole edges helps you avoid brushing that dirt back onto the uppers.

Black-bristle brush

Black-bristle brush

Give sole edges their own brush

Keep the second brush for dirtier areas such as sole edges. Brush off loose dirt first, then work on remaining marks with cleaner where your shoe’s care instructions allow.

Two brushes make it easier to keep each part of your cleaning routine separate.

Microfiber cleaning cloth

Microfiber cleaning cloth

Wipe away loosened dirt

Wipe away loosened dirt and excess cleaner, turning to a clean section of the cloth as you go.

Once the outside is clean, place the pair on your PairLoft dryer as directed to take care of any dampness inside before the next wear.

Shoe deodorizer spray

Shoe deodorizer spray

Finish with a freshen-up

Use the included shoe deodorizer whenever your pair needs freshening, following the directions on the bottle. Let the pair dry before wearing it again.

Keep the cleaner, brushes and cloth together with your dryer, so the whole routine is ready when you take your shoes off.

Single includes one complete kit. Duo includes two. Choose your bundle

White PairLoft dryer folded on a wood shelf

Make it part of taking your shoes off.

  1. Check the care instructions and prepare the pair.
  2. Load one compatible pair and use the dryer as directed.
  3. Check inside the toe and lining before the next wear. Clean and freshen as needed.

Saved my son's cleats (and my nose)

If you have a soccer kid you know the smell I'm talking about. My son's cleats could clear a room, I'm not exaggerating, we tried washing them, freezing them, every spray on amazon, and the smell always came back because they never fully dried. Got this dryer and the little cleaning kit that comes with it, and between drying them after every practice and the brush stuff, the smell is actually gone. GONE. It came a day late which was annoying but honestly whatever, the thing works so well I can't even be mad. Buying the duo next season for his little brother.

Best gift I've gotten my husband

Bought this for my husband who works outside all day and I cannot tell you the difference it's made. His work boots used to sit by the back door stinking up the whole entryway no matter what we did, and he'd leave for work at 6am putting on cold damp boots. Now they go on the dryer when he gets home and they're dry and warm by morning, and they don't stink anymore. I love it, he loves it, our house doesn't smell like feet. Easiest 5 stars I've ever given.

Retired my newspaper method

I've been drying boots with newspaper for 30 years, hands black with ink every night, switching out wet paper like it's a chore. My buddy kept telling me to just buy a boot dryer and I kept saying the newspaper works fine. Well the newspaper does not work fine, it works okay. This works fine. Boots dry in a few hours instead of two days, no ink, no mess, and I don't have to think about it. Only complaint is I wish the cord was maybe two feet longer so I could reach the outlet behind the workbench, but that's a minor thing. Great product.

Took it on our ski trip

We ski every winter and the eternal problem is boots drying at the condo. Fireplace if there is one, wet boots in the morning, the whole thing. Took the PairLoft this year and it was honestly a game changer, we'd come off the mountain, pop the liners and boots on it, and everything was dry by morning. It's small enough that it fit in the duffel without much fuss. My brother in law ordered one before we even left the trip. That's about the best endorsement I can give.

No more embarrassment

I have hyperhidrosis, my feet sweat constantly, and for years I've been embarrassed to take my shoes off anywhere. At work, at people's houses, anywhere. I've tried every powder and spray on the market and the smell always came back because the shoes never dried out between wears. This dryer changed that. Shoes go on it every night, they're bone dry by morning, and the smell is basically gone for the first time maybe ever. I don't write reviews usually but this genuinely improved my daily life so here I am.

Dry shoes after long shifts

I'm a nurse and walk to my car in the rain more often than I'd like, plus my shoes get sweaty from 12 hours of being on my feet. I got the single with the cleaning kit and it's become part of my routine now: shoes on the dryer when I get home, dry and ready when I leave. They're even a little warm when I put them on, which is a nice little bonus at 6am. Quiet too, I can hear the TV over it no problem.

Duo was the right call

I'm a mail carrier so my shoes are wet basically from October through April. I got the duo so I could have one pair drying while wearing the other, and it's been perfect for that. Both sides work the same, boots are dry overnight even when they're soaked through, and the two cleaning kits were a nice touch since my shoes get filthy. It sits in the garage and takes up basically no room. If you work outside in the weather, just buy it, stop suffering like I did for three winters.

Gentle on my hiking boots

My main hesitation with boot dryers was heat damage. My hiking boots are gore-tex lined and were not cheap, and everything I read said direct heat can wreck the lining and glue over time. This one uses gentle warm air, more like a low steady warmth than a blast of heat, and after a full season my boots are no worse for wear. Wet boots from a rainy hike are dry by the next morning, which used to take two days of air drying. It's become part of my post-hike routine, boots go straight on it.

Handles our whole shoe rotation

Three kids in hockey and soccer means my garage is basically a wet shoe warehouse. This thing runs basically every evening and it hasn't missed a beat. I like that I can set it and walk away, and the timer means I'm not thinking about it again. Cleats, skates, sneakers, it all fits. My only wish is a version with four posts for the chaos that is my life, but the duo keeps up fine. Solid build too, it's been knocked over by a soccer ball twice and kept ticking.

Retired my shoe rotation

I used to keep two pairs of running shoes in rotation purely so one could dry while I wore the other. Rainy season here means shoes never fully air dry, so I was buying shoes I didn't need just to have a dry pair. This ended all that. One pair, dried overnight, ready every morning. The heat is gentle enough that I've had zero issues with the glue or the knit uppers on my shoes, which was my big worry. It paid for itself in not buying a third pair of shoes, honestly.

Quiet and fits in my closet

i live in a small apartment and walk my dog twice a day rain or shine, so my sneakers were always at least a little damp. was worried a shoe dryer would be some big loud gadget but this is compact, lives on my closet shelf, and is quiet enough that i run it overnight while i sleep. shoes are dry by morning, every time. also no more musty smell in the closet which my roommate has definitely noticed lol. small thing that made a big difference.

Warm boots at 4am

Hunter here. Nothing worse than pulling on ice cold boots at 4am in November, or worse, damp ones from the day before. I set my boots on this thing when I get home from the woods and they're dry and warm by the time I head back out. Even my rubber boots that get soaked inside from sweat dry out overnight. It's light enough that I've started tossing it in the truck for hunting trips. For the money it's one of the better pieces of gear I've bought in years.

Cycling shoes dry for the commute

I bike commute and my shoes get saturated, either from rain or just sweat on the long rides. Air drying took forever and I'd regularly put on damp shoes for the morning commute, which is a special kind of misery. This dries them fully overnight, even the insoles. I was worried about heat warping the soles or messing up the dials so I checked them closely the first few weeks, but the warmth is gentle and everything's been fine. It's a simple product that does exactly what it says.

literally obsessed

ok so i bought this bc my white sneakers kept getting soaked walking to class and then smelling so bad i could smell them while wearing them?? embarrassing. my mom has one for my dads boots and she told me to get one and she was SO right. shoes dry overnight, no more smell, and they're warm when i put them on which is elite in the winter. took a week to ship which was annoying but whatever, 10/10 would recommend to anyone with feet tbh

Liners actually dry now

Snowboarder review: my boots get soaked inside from sweat and snow, and the liners never fully dried overnight with the fan trick I'd been using. I'd ride, pull the liners, point a fan at them all night, and still put on slightly damp liners the next morning, which is disgusting honestly. With this the liners and shells are fully dry by morning. It's quiet enough to run in my room. Boots also just feel better when they start dry, no more of that cold damp feeling when you first buckle up.

Well built, and the timer is clutch

I've gone through two boot dryers in the last five years, one where the fan died after a few months and one where the timer broke within a year, so I was picky about replacing them. This one feels sturdier than either of my old units, the controls are simple, and the timer is the feature I didn't know I needed. Set it, walk away, forget about it. Six months of near-daily use with zero issues. The heat is low and steady, which my leather boots appreciate, and it doesn't smell like hot plastic like my last one did. Recommended.

Warm shoes every morning

I bought this mostly on a whim before winter and it has turned out to be one of my favorite purchases. I wear sneakers and slippers around the house and they'd get damp from rain and snow, then never quite dry, and I'd start cold mornings in cold damp shoes. Now everything goes on the dryer at night and it's warm and dry by morning. It sounds like such a small luxury but it genuinely starts my day better. My son borrowed the idea for his work boots and bought the duo for his family. Very happy customer here.

Questions before the next wear.

Will it suit my footwear?

Check your shoe maker’s instructions for drying and heat. Follow those instructions and the dryer’s loading directions when choosing whether to use it on your pair.

Will it remove an existing smell?

A shoe can dry and still smell. The dryer addresses dampness, while the kit has a surface cleaner and a separate deodorizer for freshening as directed.

How long will my shoes take?

Timing varies with the shoe, how wet it started and the room conditions. Check inside the toe and along the lining before the next wear.

Will my shoe size and weight fit?

Each dryer is designed for one pair. Follow the loading instructions and check that the pair sits securely. Contact us if you’re unsure about a particular style.

Is one dryer enough for two pairs?

One dryer holds one pair. The duo includes two separate dryers and two complete care kits.

Do I have to clean and spray every time?

Use the cleaner when suitable surfaces need cleaning. Use the deodorizer when you want to freshen the pair, following its directions.

Which brushes and formulas suit my shoes?

Follow your shoe maker’s instructions and check the cleaner’s label before using a brush or applying the product to a material.

Can I fold it for storage?

The two arms fold alongside the white housing. Follow the dryer instructions for switching off, cooling and storage.

What arrives, when, and what if something fails?

The single has one dryer and one five-piece kit. The duo has two dryers and two kits. Contact PairLoft with your order number if something arrives damaged or missing.
