If there are a lot of puddles outside, your shoes may get very wet.

This happens from time to time not only with sneakers and suede boots, but also with leather shoes.

During the cold season, many people try to put their wet shoes near the radiator as quickly as possible.

But this action is wrong. The boots may dry out. But such drying can cause deformation of the material.

Therefore, you should remove moisture from your shoes in a different way.

How to Dry Shoes Properly

Shoes, boots, shoes or sneakers should be stuffed with newspaper. It is desirable to do this in such a way as not to change the shape of the shoes: they should not "inflate".

The newspaper should be left inside for several hours.

This time should be enough for the material to not only absorb excess moisture, but also rid the shoes of stench.

If the newspaper still hasn’t completed its task overnight, then the wet paper needs to be replaced.

The second time, the shoes will most likely dry out and stop being a source of unpleasant odor.
