I know this comment isn't useful, but hey, it'll give someone a laugh I hope. Anyways, when I looked at this, I didn't see the Next Step button...so I thought the only step was to take your shoes off, especially with you saying "For some reason, they dry better that way." XD I died

They actually make Dryers specifically for drying your Shoes/boots. There is a company called DryGuy that has a pretty good variety of stuff to choose from. Everything from portable dryers that plug into your car, to shoe racks that you can mount on the wall that will dry your shoes. Everything they make is designed to be safe for expensive shoes/boots (wont ruin them,). Go to www.dryguy.net . I have the Widebody, and I absolutely love it.

When I was living in Ireland, I learned a similar technique, cramming newspaper into the shoes instead of a towel. The first step was to remove the insole, if possible. Then you would cram regular old newspaper into your shoes tightly. The newspaper would wick out the moisture. You would need to change out the paper at least once or twice, but it was very effective. And since it does tend to rain over there quite a bit, it sure helped to have a trick to help dry out your shoes.

Another way is to put them in front of an electric fan.

Tissue paper also works well. It's faster than newspaper but you have to use a lot of it...

Another way is to assemble a device made from 1 1/2" to 2" PVC pipe and a bottom vented box with a small heating coil that increases the temperature of the air inside the box and causes a gentle warm airflow to move up the pipe and into the shoes that are slipped over the end of each pipe. Or you could just buy a device that I just described for around $20 US at a sporting goods store, but that wouldn't be as much fun!

A trick I use is to wear them. Shoes and boots dry faster when you wear them. Me and a few people got caught in a rain storm. I left my boots on and they switched theirs out. after 3 hours mine were dry. Theirs didnt dry until two days later. Just change your socks and powder your feet so you dont get trench foot.

Another trick I use is newspaper. I roll up newspaper, stick it inside the shoe, around the shoe, and anywhere touching the shoe. Newspaper soaks up the moisture very well. After a few hours, replace the newspaper, until the shoes are dry. It is an awesome way to give a new use to your recycled newspapers.
