Sneakers are exactly the kind of footwear that, in principle, does not require special attention.

But sometimes force majeure situations happen, for example, when you were forced to proudly walk with your feet in sneakers in the pouring rain and now the task is to dry your sneakers.

The easiest way is to use a shoe dryer, but not everyone has such a device at their disposal.

So the easiest thing you can do is to collect as many old newspapers as you can, crumple them up and stuff your sneakers with the paper.

After a couple of hours, when the newspaper sheets become damp, replace them with new ones.

Drying sneakers using heating devices leads to deformation of the surface, the appearance of cracks and disruption of the functions performed by the glue.
