that. It's rubber, they'll reform when warm and wet. Just hang them up to dry on a hanger like that, and happy days.

these things are the bomb
I don't do this for travel but for home I bought a 4' piece of pvc pipe with a bunch of T connectors. I cut the pvc pipe into 6" sections then then glued all the "T" connectors between the 6" sections. Hung it on the wall and stick our booties on it to dry. Will snap a picture if interested.
Here is an old thread with pictures that might give you some ideas: Drying Trees

This is the one I bought for my wetsuit boots and gloves.

I bought a fan equipped hanger for my full body condom, err, Drysuit. You can get by without these things, I did for decades. But, you can also end up with some nasty funk growing in your gear. This spring I ended up dropping all the snorkels in the house into tub of diluted bleach. My only regret was not doing it to all of the masks I have laying around at the same time.

I have used a bit of ABS pipe. I cut it on a 45 degree angle to let air into the toe of the bootie, since it always takes longer to dry.
Haven't bothered with that in a while though. Once dry, I chuck them in the box with the rest of my dry gear.
On dive trips, I bring along a DryGuy boot dryer and use that overnight to have nice dry booties to put back on the next day. Not sure if they are still around or not. I grabbed a couple of units on clearance at an outfitter store: DryGuy - TRAVEL DRY DX
