Furthermore, change the newspaper after a few hours. The first batch tends to get soaking wet quickly, and having fresh dry newspaper in there really speeds up the final drying process.
If you have a warm, but not too hot, place to put your shoes in addition to stuffing them with newspaper, that helps too.
