I try to leave mine outside so the air moves around 'em a bit, and
even let a little sun hit 'em. I suppose that's not real good for the
neoprene and rubber but other than fading they seem to stand up fine
to it, and they dry nicely. My warm water (short) booties have always
been dried that way and are often worn to walk to the boat. The uppers
will outlast the soles which are just about worn through now.

You're peeing in your booties?

That trick works :-)

For local 'coolwater' diving, if a couple of days out on the
clothesline doesn't do the trick (due to rain, gloomy weather,
whatever), I'll move the hanger into my boiler room, which typically
is hot and arid in comparison to the rest of the house.

The only problem with this is that I then forget where I left them, so
when packing for a dive trip upon discovering that I can't find them,
I rush down to the shop and buy a replacement pair.  I rediscover the
old pair when I go to hang the new (wet) pair in the furnace room
after the trip.  However, having two good pairs of booties is not a
bad thing :-)
