Drying out wet shoes.

I was just reading a thread on here and someone posted their husband's shoes got wet and took days to dry out and it occurred to me everyone might not know this trick so,,,,,

If your shoes get soaked stuff them with newspaper. Change it every few hours and your shoes will dry in probably 1/2 the rime it normally takes. I have had soaking wet running shoes be ready to wear the next day

Hope this helps someone

That is a good idea especially if you use a blow dryer while stuffed with the newspaper (the newspaper will help it keep its shape).

Good tip, Carol,
Most hiking shoes and sneakers have removable insoles - take those out too!
