Stuff canvas sneakers with crumpled brown paper bags, paper towels or white office paper (not newspaper or colored paper, the ink transfers).

Let them air-dry along with the laces.

Do not dry them near a fireplace or heater. Direct heat breaks down canvas fabric and causes shoes to become dried out and brittle.
