Air is forced by the blower through the selectively operable heating unit and ionizing unit, the primary support and duct tube, the spokes, and the boot supports and into the interior of boots placed on the boot supports. Additional boot carousels may be added, supported on extension tubes extending upwardly from the hub of the next lower carousel.
