Rain, mud, and other poor conditions can result in damage to a person’s footwear. An experienced athlete will continue to run or otherwise exercise through storms and adverse conditions. Further, sometimes articles of footwear get dirty in the course of casual wear. People who occasionally walk on grass, scuff their footwear, or otherwise walk imperfectly may desire to clean their footwear occasionally. The use of a household washer and dryer is often the ideal solution to dirty articles of footwear. Particularly athletic shoes, which are designed to be lightweight and breathable, are easy to clean in washing machines. However, when placed into a drying environment such as a clothes dryer, the motion of the dryer thereof results in the banging of the articles of footwear within the drying environment. Not only is this loud and obtrusive, but the repeated collisions of the shoes against the door, back wall, and chamber can result in component failure due to fatigue. This can cause irreparable damage to the dryer. The abrasive movements can also cause other clothing to get trapped against the shoes, resulting in tearing or other damage. The extraneous articles of footwear themselves can be structurally damaged in this process as well. What is needed is a device that can restrain articles of footwear during the drying process. Further desirable is a device that can prevent shoes from being damaged, or from damaging other items during the drying process within the drying environment. The present invention addresses these issues through a first insert and a second insert that enable structural support of the shoes during the drying process. This facilitates proper drying, allowing hot air to blow through the shoe efficiently, preferably through a plurality of apertures. The first insert and the second insert are connected by a crossbar, forming a unibody structure alongside.
I am turning to you, Kickstarter, for help raising the funds necessary to pay for manufacturing, marketing, and distributing the initial run. I know I’m only campaigning for $2000 because that will at least cover for the first orders. We need at least a 56 (units) orders to start manufacturing and I really love seeing this come together so I’m truly grateful for this opportunity.
To say thanks to everyone who makes a contribution to this campaign, I am offering The Gym Shoe Dryer Holder through this campaign at an even bigger discount on the already affordable price.
I deeply appreciate your support and thank you for your time.
Should any delays occur along the way with regards to production, we will be as transparent as possible to ensure that our backers are fully informed.
