Silly as it may seem, if I placed one of these in each ski boot overnight if they would be dry from pirspiration the next day?

No I don't think so. Damp Rid absorbs water from the air not from objects and it is a slow process. They last about three months where I am (Florida) before the bottom of them is completely filled with water. I would suggest turning your boots on their side near a portable electric heater.

I don't know but it would be worth a try. The fresh scent smells very good. I would try it. Cheap enough.

No, the water that DampRid absorbs is from the air ;) just place the boots close to a space heater to get dry faster ;)

You would do better if you placed your ski boots near a heater or fan....DampRid captures moisture in the air. Hope this helps !!

I doubt it but at least they'll be clean and dry -- stick one in and try it --and be more careful in future

No. Not at all, the other posted answers are wrong. These packs stay cold forever. You never need to 'refreeze' them, as they are eternally cold.

no they are dry i dip them in a solution of 480 mi chlorhex glu sol 0.12 three in a.m. and 3 before bed

I know they are water RESISTENT, not water proof. I would t use it until you know for sure they are completely dry before trying.

Yes. We accidentally did froze some water overnight. It was fine the next day.

Mine lasted about 3 - 4 hours. However, I used them in my ski boots not regular boots, but I would imagine timing similar. However, I kept mine on low setting. These work OK.

As noted in other answers... these socks do seem fairly quick to dry, but local conditions (high humidity due to weather) could determine whether the socks would dry completely overnight. Taking two pair to rotate is a good suggestion... also taking a small microfiber towel to roll the socks in (roll & squeeze socks after washing/rinsing to wick excess water from the socks) before setting out to dry would be a good idea. The Silver Drystat in the blend will retard odor as well as speed up the drying. If necessary the socks could be worn 2 days between washings easily without any fear of odor unless feet are prone to being very sweaty, or a person is engaged in athletic activities.

I wear these everyday in my boots and have not had an issue with dampness. I believe the term you're looking for is moisture wicking. Your socks, foot characteristics, and shoe material will also play a role in transferring moisture.

I used them in a wet (not frozen) environment and then had wool sock on under them...my feet got wet, really wet and cold but would have been colder without them.

I've used it to dry my son's goalie gloves and it worked well. I left them on overnight and they were dry by early morning.

I would say a couple of hours at night but for at least 3-5 days depending on how dry your heels are.

that would depend on conditions a dry day with a ceiling fan on a couple of hours.

if it is a windy day, this may not be as useful as you would think. the evaporation caused by the wind could make your feet cold, I have noticed this while in my wetsuit going from one dive site to the next via boat

I've never left mine dry for more then three days and they are fine. Usually we have to refill it everyday so it's only a issue when you leave your house for multiple days.

Sorry. ;) I'm keeping them outside, and i've used about half of them, and they still seem OK. Maybe just put them in a cool, dry place?

I haven't experienced that yet. But I only bought them to go under ski wear because I have bad circulation when exposed to winter for a long time.
