How do I dry winter cycling shoes after a wet ride?

Remove the insoles and open the shoes fully. Stuff them with crumpled newspaper to absorb moisture—replace the newspaper after a few hours if they are very wet. Let them air dry at room temperature. Never place them on a radiator, heater, or use a hair dryer on high heat, as this can delaminate the waterproof membrane and damage the synthetic materials. Drying typically takes 12–24 hours depending on how wet they got.
