Fast drying shoes

I've got a shoe and glove dryer on my Christmas list this year.

I bought a pair of Sidi goretex winter boot things a couple of years ago, they are brilliant until you get water in the top, then there is nowhere for the water to go so it ends up feeling like you're cycling in buckets of water.

- If road surface is wet but it's not raining they are fantastic

- If it is raining I use some gripgrab neoprene gaiters to keep the rain out

Easiest option I would say is to leave a second pair of shoes in your office. Then the wet ones should dry out overnight in case they are needed the following day.

Not quite sure whether you're after shoes for commuting, or just quick drying shoes in general for wet weather riding. 

WRT fast drying, I've found Giro Empires to be pretty good, they;re fully synthetic and the shiny uppers don't really seem to absorb much. only bit that absorbs is around the heal, but still dries fairly quick if you open them up and take the insoles out. 

Stuffing with newspaper is still the best option to help them dry faster, but unless you live in London with a never ending supply of Evening Standards on every corner, this is becoming more of an issue (for lighting woodburners too). But still, in my experience, the only thing that works during the day at work, unless you're blessed with a heated bikestore. Failing that, popping waterproof socks on for the way home is a nicer experience than the instant cold wet foot feeling.

I've just bought a boot dryer for winter, not just for cycling shoes, although my MTB shoes will be using it alot, but also for walking boots etc. It was about £70 on Amazon and seems to work pretty well and much quicker/less faff than stuffing/leaving somewhere warm. Dry shoes every day and less money than new shoes. works for gloves too. 

As an aside, depending on how long your ride is, I've found velotoez and the castelli pioggia overshoes keep the worst out for a couple of hours, at least meaning there's less to dry when you get home. 

Thing is, who has newspaper at home any more? 

Just shove some newspaper inside the shoes when you take them off. This will draw out all the water and they will be dry by the time you go home.

Would it be excessive to keep a spare pair of shoes at the office, just in case you need something drier to wear for the ride home?

Or maybe something like this?
