drying boots quickly.
OK FOLKS
ive been wearing in my new txc rs's and its going well. However this morning when pushing my bike through a deep puddle i remembered that they have this air flow thing in the sole just as i felt the water fill my boots  sooo there wet inside, ive got newspaper in them but wouldnt mind them dry in the next couple of hours. What are my chances? and any tips? |

Re: drying boots quickly.
Also get some kind of silicone lube and put it on the torrosion system bits, other wise they will squeak every single time you even move a milimeter

Re: drying boots quickly.
Buy your self some Sealskin socks for the winter, totally waterproof, so you'll only need to dry the outside of the sock, not the boot
Expensive for socks but cheaper than another pair of boots. They are very good http://www.wiggle.co.uk/c/cycle/7/Socks_-_Waterproof/

Re: drying boots quickly.
Or buy some expensive TCX Competizione Goretex boots. Had mine for 18 months and they've never let a drop in....even after I wore the toes down on the track!

Re: drying boots quickly.
Or simply put a plastic bag over your socks and wear the wet boots.
