Why You Should Put Newspaper Inside Your Shoes Overnight

The Newspaper Trick

Newspaper is surprisingly effective at absorbing moisture.

The paper fibers naturally pull moisture away from surfaces, helping the inside of your shoes dry more efficiently.

To try this method:

1. Crumple several sheets of newspaper into loose balls.
2. Stuff them firmly inside each shoe.
3. Leave them overnight.
4. Remove the newspaper in the morning.

Many people notice their shoes feel fresher and drier the next day.

Why It Works

The newspaper acts like a sponge.
