Dependin' on the time of year, I either set them by the air vents in the

leave'em in the car to kill the smell of trailer trash. Other times they
sit on the porch.
However, you can buy boot dryers from Cabela's.
Ski shops have them too.
Another option is to get an old bonnet-style hair dryer at a thrift store,
throw away the bonnet, and put the hose into one of the boots.
Set the heat on low (should just be slightly warm at that setting), then
come back in an hour to dry the other boot.
I dry my ski boots that way, with no damage to them at all.
I dry my wading boots by leaving them on the back steps, which usually works
fine, but since it's been raining for the better part of a week, I finally
brought them inside.
The snowpack was so light around here, I fished the high country about a
month earlier than usual, and expected the mountain streamfishing to be more
or less over by mid-July. If the rain keeps up, I may be fishing up there
for the whole summer. The high country was fishing well on Sunday, and was
pretty deserted due to the still-closed backroads and the wet stuff falling
out of the sky. I finally left when the rain turned to snow and the thunder
got too close.
