Why You Should Put Newspaper Inside Your Shoes Overnight

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.

As it sits inside the shoe, it absorbs excess moisture trapped in the lining and fabric.

This can help reduce the damp environment that contributes to unpleasant odors.

The result is often a fresher-smelling shoe without the need for expensive sprays or special products.
