ABSTRACT:
A footwear drying insert includes an elongated foot-shaped body defining opposing toe and heel ends and including tubular inner and outer layers of material that are secured together to define an intermediate space between the layers and an interior space within the inner tubular layer. A plurality of baffles are formed between and connect the inner and outer layers of the body together. The baffles extend in a direction generally parallel to the longitudinal axis between the toe and heel ends of the body to divide the intermediate space into compartments. A desiccant composition is enveloped within at least one of the compartments, and structure is provided for exerting outward support on the body during use. The support structure is compressible to allow the insert to be deformed for insertion into and removal from the footwear.
