Aldi is selling a boot dryer as part of the snow sale that is a copy of the DryGuy Force DX. The plastic is different colours but otherwise they look to be the same. The Aldi version is made by Implus Footcare LLC the owner of Dryguy. The Dryguy is in the $150-$160 range in the few places that it’s available locally.

I really rate having a boot dryer if you do outdoor activities, play sports or just have sweaty feet. This is an upgrade for me from this style of boot dryer that I don’t recommend. Having a boot dryer saves me from riding to work with wet shoes the day after it rains and has helped my foot health in jobs where I need to wear steel cap boots everyday. There aren’t many options for boot dryers with Australia power plugs.

    Good value for a retail product. These work well!

    If you're the diy type, some pvc pipe, a power drill, and a usb fan of any type, is a great and useful project :) typically ANY level of forced airflow will dry shoes if you have a full 8hr of sleep time for it to run.
    80mm case fan blowing up a U shape of pvc with holes drilled has proven enough.

      I go totally ghetto then. I just put a vornado on lowest speed blowing at my shoes standing upright against the wall. Seems to work fine. Dry by the next morning.

    Anyone tried using this for boxing gloves?

      Yeah, the unit didn't last, I probably smashed it into like 30 pieces.

        Well done.

      Im currently using the dry guy product for boxing gloves. I use them every time after training.

      Depending on your gloves, you may have troubles drying the fingertip region, which is where mine are starting to smell. I’m often late to training so don’t use wraps which would help keep the gloves dry.

      I started using the boot attachment and shoving them deep into my glove. It’s really tight and you may not like how aggressive you’re stretching the leather / forcing the glove to sit in an unnaturally (I.e forcing the glove to be more opened as opposed to curled to allow better air flow). Hope that made sense.

      • Gotchas on 17/05/2025 - 17:53

        How long do you leave the gloves on it ?

        Have you ever used a hairdryer and how does it compare to that ?

        • coxymla on 17/05/2025 - 18:21

          I've tried using hair driers but they overheat and shut off.

        • Snorky on 17/05/2025 - 18:22

          Compared to a hair dryer the airflow is lower and cooler

        • iamblaq on 17/05/2025 - 18:23

          90 mins with the heat function on. I try to make them as dry as possible to preserve my nice twins gloves.

          I usually dry two pairs of gloves so make use of all 4 prongs.

          Never used a hairdryer but depending on how you use it, I can see the heat being a bit too much. If you buiilt a little PVC contraption (as others have mentioned here), I can see it working quite well. Split into 4 tubes to dry two pairs would be pretty good (and time saving) I'd imagine. Just dont go burning your house down please.

          Other consideration is whether or not you would be willing to dry your gloves with a hairdryer type contraption unsupervised. Fundamentally the same thing in the sense that they both use fans and heating elements but the boot dryer is designed to operate over 2-3 hours whilst the hair dryer is not. I can only imagine there are safety switches to facilitate this. I usually get home late night and dry the gloves as im sleeping.

      • iamblaq on 17/05/2025 - 18:32

        Extra context on this fingertip thing in case I've deterred anyone from using this. My twins gloves have a very small hand profile. When the hand is not inserted, the foam padding almost closes the glove up around the finger tip region (twins gloves notorious for being tight fitting). My venum gloves don't appear to have this finger tip drying issue. Simple fix with be to should some small object inside to open it up a bit - though I couldn't be arsed. Great product and I would buy another in a heart beat if mine broke.

  • bienvenu on 17/05/2025 - 16:22

    Can it also be used on the inside of the car, or just the boot?

      This is probably a troll but brother it’s for your shoes not the boot of a car.

        Joker rather than troll, but you're right.

    We've been using a non-electric solution called a Drysure for many years - still works fine, is portable and doesn't need a powerpoint.
    Scrunched up newspaper was what we used before.

  • BrotherEstapol on 17/05/2025 - 18:08

    Bought this from Aldi a few years back; works a treat on wet football boots! Worth the money for sure.

  • jlwjlg on 17/05/2025 - 19:44

    Just bought one in attempt to dry moisture under steel cap work boots.
    The air flow is very gentle. I can barely feel it with my hand.
    The accessories doesn't quite able to reach all the way in the toe box.
    I hope it works well.

  • Wil747 on 17/05/2025 - 19:58

    Can I use it on hot dog rolls or just boot of car

    • eloque on 17/05/2025 - 20:29

      Both, but for the latter, use a few and park near a power outlet.

    This is an amazing deal. We bought the DryGuy from Amazon and as a parent of toddlers it's been life changing. Kids shoes have to be cleaned more often than adult shoes because of toilet training accidents and Peppa Pig emulation and we went from having to wait at least two days for washed shoes to dry to two hours.

      Would they fit in? My daughter is Peppa's best friend. 🤔🐷

      You'll be blown away …

  • Gen Ice on 18/05/2025 - 00:35

    Never seen one of those before. Could I use it to dry the kids' shoes? They're such a pain to dry!

    • LFO on 18/05/2025 - 17:57

      It is a must have in parts of Canada where wet gloves & children's boots are common for about 8 months of the year.

      Brilliant idea as they cut off after a while.

  • jizztin on 19/05/2025 - 10:03

    does this have some sort of deodorising function like this aliexpress model which has "ozone"?

    https://vi.aliexpress.com/item/1005007038442047.html?spm=a2g…

    • munecito on 19/05/2025 - 22:52

      Did you read the original post? The poster says that he doesn't recommend that type you linked

    • ozfool on 21/05/2025 - 11:52

      I don't know if it works for that purpose or not, but pumping ozone into your house is probably a bad idea, it's toxic over the long term even at the trace levels found in ambient air.

  • LFO on 20/05/2025 - 17:09

    Got one!

    Amazingly well made. Solid. Good finishing. Parts that fit.
    Not one reference to "Made in China" nor anywhere else … mysterious origin ….
    The heat on/off switch is shrouded/insulated on soft plastic so wet hands will survive touching it (unit is 240VAC by the way).

    It does NOT have an On/Off switch but the timer does go to Off.

    Timer is mechanical with a small knob that has to be rotated almost fully to later decrease. Pretty hard to rotate.

    It is NOT whisper quiet. As a matter of fact is rather noisy, like a cheap fan blowing on max. OK for a garage or somewhere away from humans.

    Overall happy with the purchase. 59 days left to return if I am not …

    • AdamFury on 22/05/2025 - 14:10

      Picked one up also.

      Measured the noise at around 60 decibels with shoes on it.

      Energy usage around 35W with just the fan on. 235W with the heating function enabled.

  • maiuspala on 22/05/2025 - 16:12

    Has anyone seen any stock left in any stores in Sydney? I went to 2 different Aldis yesterday, but couldnt find it. Also coudnt find it online with stock checker.

    • vt on 23/05/2025 - 19:02

      I think it's called "Heavy Duty Dryer" in stock checker

  • munecito on 26/05/2025 - 09:35

    About 8 left yesterday afternoon in Caboolture QLD.

    None anywhere else in the Sunshine coast, Brisbane area
