Nowadays, many people struggle to dry their shoes on rainy days, making a shoe dryer a valuable tool for daily life. While there are many shoe racks on the market, there are few options that can both store and dry shoes simultaneously. The purpose of this study is to design and fabricate a shoe rack with a built-in dryer. The shoe rack with a dryer function will help people dry their shoes quickly, solving the problem of damp shoes on rainy days. SolidWorks software was used to design and analyze this product whereas welding technique was utilized to connect the frame. Screws were used to attach the frame to the aluminum composite panel that covers the rack. The resulting shoe rack will store and dry shoes simultaneously without negatively impacting the environment. This shoe rack saves time and shortens the drying process, making it an ideal solution for those in need of quick shoe drying, especially on rainy days
