Abstract: A shoe dryer includes a working surface for drying shoes, with holes in communication with air venting means, and is characterized in that the dryer further comprises a hollow plastic case with hemispherical recesses provided for placing shoes while stepping onto the working surface, which is a latticed platform. Hot or warm air is vented from the bottom of the device onto the soles of the shoes through the lattice, and horizontal slits are provided over the entire bottom part of the hemispherical recesses for venting warm air onto the outer surface of the shoes. A tray for collecting meltwater under the platform. The meltwater is discharged either into the sewer system or outside, and the dryer further comprising means of heating the air vented from the outside, means of pumping the heated air into the case, and motion sensors which are able to detect shoes stepping onto the platform.
