    Can someone help please?

    Is there any product you can place inside football boots, that will absorb the moisture and dry them out?

    I had to wade across a stream and they are still drenched days later.

    I've tried a hairdryer and also wearing them indoors, but no luck.
    Don't want to use radiators or the dryer, as know from experience that they will shrink the boots!

    Thanks in advance

    Take out the inner-soles, stuff 'em with newspaper, put 'em out in the sun.

    Stuff them with newspaper in them to take away some of the moisture and maintain the shape. You might need to replace the newspaper daily if they are really wet. Then hang them outside on the line or somewhere inside to dry naturally.

    EDIT... What Micky said.

    sounds daft, but et a pair of tights and stuff them with cat litter, then put in the boots.

    It should soak any moisture up...

    Could try rice. I've heard It's used to dry out electrical products such as Mobile phones and tablets and place them in a warm place such as a radiator.

    Newspaper stuffed tight, helps stop them shrinking.
