Types of Shoes

[Zardoz]

A quick rinse won't hurt a good pair of shoes, I've done it from time to time. But if you are not comfy with that, just stuff a loosly wadded hunk of newspaper in them, it will absorb a lot of the moisture. Or go hi-tech and get one of these; http://www.peetshoedryer.com/products.html they work great.

What's wrong with using a wet wash cloth or wet spunge on the inside surfaces?

Hmm. I usually wear thick socks, even in summer, so that sweat is not an issue in my shoes.

I have had military corfams and boots in the past though that required the discrete addition of ventilation grommets because they were so damned hot and ill suited for the climate. (uniform of the day sort of thing) Corfams (shiny plastic shoes worn in the US military) should be banned and sent straight to hell where they belong.
