Three rides in three days and they are soaking both pairs drying out, takes them ages stuffed with paper under a radiator.
May have to resort to walking boots, any ideas fairly cheap but OK on flat pedals that are currently in the shops?
Cheap skate ones from Sports’Direct
Used to use Airwalk ones, bout £30
Invest in some waterproof socks. Doesn't matter if the shoes are wet then.
What survivor says.
What they said^
Specialized 2fO 2.0 would be a good bet. My 2FO Cliplite Lace hardly soak up any water at all and dry crazy quick. Unlike my old Shimanos that took a week to dry out.
I stuff mine with nappies - own brand supermarket ones can be a quid a bag. Not quite over-night, but not far off.
Put my clipless versions in the washing machine after a trip to bpw last week, stuffed with newspaper and stuck on a radiator and were dry in 3-4 hours.
Buy a shoe dryer - £30 or so, will rock your world
Put them on the radiator.
Get a life 🙂
What guandax said. Radiator for 24hrs. Job done in time for next ride. Almost.
Start drying them now, should be ok for April.
+1 for the shoe dryer, £35 ish from amazon
^ weeksy 😆
Or use it as an excuse to stay in front of the telly snacking.

Stick on top of radiator, they'll dry quicker (assuming radiator is on), stuff with paper also helps.
As bigblackshed said the endura overshoes should do the job nicely.
A mate I go riding with swears by wrapping a load of cat litter up in newspaper and stuffing it in 5-10's. Then place somewhere warm like an airing cupboard / on top of a radiator and they'll be dry pretty quickly.
Ours go in the airing cupboard .
Senn so many of these threads and have just got. The Endura overshoes myself but can't help wondering why Five Ten have yet to bring out a decent winter boot . All they need to do is copy the design of many Spd boots that are out there and put their sole on it .

For £1.79 who cares what others think in the wet and mud.
Elements version of Five Tens are better. They still take time if proper soaked but not as bad as the old sponge does.
Generally, sealskinz and two pairs of shoes does me, along with keeping feet out of deep puddles.
Ive bought some of these http://www.fiveten.com/us/bike/all-mountain/freerider-eps-high-core-black
work great and keep your feet toasty for the UK cold and slop.
Newspaper and oven dry if in a hurry. Platewarming setting works fine.
