Windry also uses a Venturi effect to promote air movement within the boot’s dead end space (the toe) and this is created by the air movement over the top of the product. When trials where conducted, the design proved effective in drying out the shoes in “subtle outdoor breezes and indoors with a cold fan or electric fan heater.”

Lemme explain how this works, place Windry into the gumboots, the hooded design on the top redirects the air into the gumboot, thus airing and drying it quickly.

Windry is made from HDPE plastic and is 100% recyclable; moreover it’s a single piece without any moving parts. It operates effectively in the natural wind without the need of an electrical input.
