Default Drying wading boots...

4) It seems that the hardest part to dry of all is the felt soles, as they
are thick and the centers do not get the benefit of the hair dryer. Can

the
felt soles rot or anything if they sit damp for awhile?


I don't know much about it- but I understand that the infamous New Zealand
mud snail can survive just fine in damp felt. If those little nasties are
about I believe you should use a 1/2c of bleach in a gallon of cold water
and soak your boots in it for a few minutes if your anticipate using your
boots again before they thoroughly dry out.
