Re: Drying wet shoes.
 

let them dry naturally is best. next best is on your feet. then if you cant wait a day get one of those two tube things that you put the boots on and blows air up them. i have one but never use it as my wet boots always dry enough at room temp by the time i need them next. not hot air as that will shrink them. never use hot air.
the newspaper works as well.

This is correct. If your shoes/boots will not dry naturally between uses then I would recommend buying two pair next time. That way one is drying and one is helping you conquer the world.

I own two pair for each season.

This may work fine in Montana but is a bit problematic at some of the places I go. The place I stay at in Cape Cod is very humid during the summer. Drying naturally at sea level isn't really an option.

The WD40 will draw the water out of the crevices.

"WD" stands for Water Displacement. It was originally designed to prevent rust and oxidation.

tie them up there by thier strings??

and if u dont wanna put them IN the dryer just turn ur dryer on and set them ontop upside down...itll do it faster than letting them dry naturally...i always hit them up with my hairdryer for a lil bit before i do this
