Expert Posts: 1477 Location: In the land of peanuts and cotton	I usally put them outside to dry but I forgot to wash them today and now it's raining. I need them tomorrow. There no way even if I washed them right now they would be dry. So can I put them in the dryer or just run in them dirty.

Extreme Veteran Posts: 356	When I've been short on time like that in the past, I'll wash them at night and then hang them on a drying rack like you would use for delicates with a fan blowing on them. They're typically dry by morning! ETA: I put mine in the washing machine and set it for an extra spin also. Edited by k.maddocks24 2015-01-23 9:11 AM

Living within my means Posts: 5128 Location: Randolph, Utah	I hang mine on the shower rod and close the door so the heat or air blows on them and they dry fairly fast.

Take a Picture Posts: 12842	OK so it is raining. You are going to wash your boots so you can go ride through the mud to get to the covered arena to run. I would day wash them then put them in the dryer and they will be ready to wash again after your run.

I Don't Brag Posts: 6960	Wash them now and hang them up in the house unless it is nice and warm where you live. They will be dry by tomorrow even without blowing air on them. I have done this the night before and they are dry by morning. I would NOT put mine in the dryer.

Everything else is paved.

Location: Keeping up with the numbers!	Hand wash, wring out really good, take a rag towel and wring them again with the towel, lay them on a thick towel (rag) under a vent in your house and they should be good by tomorrow. The key is to wring them out really good. Edited by BeanCounter 2015-01-23 12:43 PM

Ms. Marine Posts: 4641 Location: Texas	I never put mine in the dryer. As others have suggested, I hang mine up in the shower and they're always dry the next morning.

The Bling Princess Posts: 3411 Location: North Dakota	I'd wash them and send them through the spin cycle a few times. Set them in front of a fan and they should be dry enough by morning to run in.

A Lady with Fight Posts: 2701 Location: NC	I've thrown boots in the dryer on low heat just to finish the drying process. 10-15 minutes.
