I've heard about these things one can stick in one's boots to absorb moisture - kind of like very large versions of the silica sachets found in new handbags (gentlemen may now roll their eyes). Does anyone know what they're called? I've been looking on Google, but my search strings aren't finding anything. Thanks a lot!

Another vote for the Dryzone "Dampires". Superb.
We've got some that we used solidly all of last season and we just hung them up every day and they were fine - we never had to dry them on the radiator.
Only problem is that they're relatively heavy.

They weigh the equivalent of a weeks worth of underwear . . . so, given today's silly weight allowances, you can have stinky feet or . . . just stinky . .
