Rain or melting snow outside inevitably leads to the formation of puddles on the asphalt, and when you step into them, your shoes instantly become wet.

In such a situation, it is important to dry the boots quickly to prevent possible health problems and maintain the appearance of the shoes.

Perhaps the most effective way is to use special devices created specifically for drying shoes, but if you don’t have any at hand, try turning to folk methods for help.

Newspaper

One of the most popular and simple ways to dry shoes is to use newspapers, which perfectly absorb moisture, thanks to which shoes dry quickly.

To do this, you need to, first of all, remove the insoles from the shoes and stuff them with crumpled sheets of already read newspapers, which should be changed as they get wet.
