What do you stuff wet shoes with to dry them if you haven't bought a newspaper in a decade?

Normally my parents keep us well supplied with newspaper from their daily habit when they visit, but they haven't been here in 18 months.

Haven’t seen a free paper since pre pandemic. Useful for cleaning windows.

Amazon's packing paper or muslins (we use them for everything)

Oh what a good idea. I'd been wondering what I'd do when I used up the last of the newspapers I had saved.

Kitchen roll.

Wouldn't rice work, like it does for wet phones?

kitchen towels

What a waste of rice though (the water was quite muddy).
