I spent the last 60 days testing shoe dryers specifically for restaurant workers, kitchen staff, and servers who spend 8-12 hours on their feet. After rotating 8 different models through my home and lending units to three line cooks and two servers, I have real data on what actually works for food service professionals. The … Read more
