A toenail polish drying footwear device is provided. The device is comprised of a piece of footwear comprised of a toe separator assembly integrally formed with or attached to the body of the device, at least one heel strap for foot stabilization, and a sole designed for traction and durability. The toe separator assembly comprises a plurality of flexible toe-separating members extending vertically from the top surface of the body and dimensioned to fit comfortably between a user's toes. In some embodiments, the toe separator assembly further comprises a skin-safe adhesive applied at the base of the separator or an angled toe wedge support that elevates the toes to prevent polish contact with external surfaces.
