I cut a couple of short pieces of PVC pipe that I shove in the ankles to keep 'em open. Then leave 'em lying in the garage 'til next use.

Hawaiian sun does the trick for me.

I use the dryer rack method. I haven't found another way to get my boots dry in less than a few days. The dedicated dryer does look nice.
Oh, you'd be surprised at how cheap this thing is....do it easy:I think Ken's method gets better results, but mine is much cheaper.
The moment I get home and start cleaning the gear (read: my dunk tank and rack) the gloves go on the Peet. They get stored there until my next dive. Never crunchy, never stinky. I love the thing.
I don't have boots attached to my suit - its a tri-lam with soft footies - so I just turn the thing inside out and it dries in about an hour.
I made a Dalton Dryer and used it for awhile, but with a tri-lam and soft feet, I just don't need it. So I sold it off.

The Peet Glove Dryer - best $30 I've ever spent on Scuba Maintenance. Drys my Gloves in a few hours, keeps the funky dry-glove smell out... love it.

Hang in the garage for a day or two.
I use the Seirus Boot Toaster ($27) on my 7mm gloves and booties after letting them drip dry. The device was originally purchased for drying my ski boots, but dries the gloves and booties overnight. There are boot blowers on the market that dry booties/gloves faster, but they cost a lot more.
MasterGoa:
Put "Peet Boot Dryer" into Google, and go price hunting. They're all over. Even on eBay. The are sold as a "boot dryer" - you buy the Glove thingy, and you just switch. They pop on and off. They also have extension tubes available so you can essentially hang your suit from it by the footies.
There is no fan in here - just a small heating element.
They rock.
