Quick Run Tonight…in the Rain…(yuck)

To Whom It May Concern:

Nothing quite like the feeling of running in a downpour, with the equivalent of a liter or so of water sloshing around in your sneakers. That’s the worst part. It takes a full day for your footwear to dry out thoroughly.

I should have just dumped a bottle of Gatorade down each leg.

So does anybody have any suggestions as to how to dry out wet sneakers?  I don’t want to throw them in the dryer because the heat can damage, warp or melt portions of the composite sole of my ASICS running shoe.

Sincerely,
Desparately Seeking Dry Sneakers

    >Try stuffing your soggy shoes with newspaper to dry them out overnight. Works like a charm for me!

    >Awesome tip! Thanks for taking the time to read and reply! Do you still run?

    >I try to. Unfortunately I've been dealing with a lot of foot injuries over the past couple of years. I seem to have chronic plantar fasciitis and haven't found a remedy to allow me to run pain free for more than a couple of months at a time. Got any suggestions?

    >The only thing I've heard of for plantar fasciitis are customized orthodics that are inserted into your footware. Have you considered seeing a specialist? A physical therapist might have some suggestions as well.
