Maybe liability issues? There are idiots out there would put newpaper in their boots and dry them in front of a fire, and there goes the boots.

Approximately how long did it take your nepals to dry?

Certainly slower than a heater or something, but it will eventually dry them out, especially if the fan is somewhat powerful.
