How Do You Dry Barefoot Shoes Overnight?
If the manufacturer permits, remove removable insoles, loosen the laces and open the upper for room-temperature airflow. Replace absorbent paper as it becomes damp, avoid direct heat and allow longer than overnight when necessary.Read the answer, then inspect the current options.

Open the shoe without damaging its construction
Remove loose debris, loosen the fastening and take out a removable liner if the manufacturer permits. Let those components dry separately so damp material is not trapped beneath the footbed. Absorbent paper can help with excess moisture; replace it when wet rather than leaving it packed tightly overnight.
Vivobarefoot recommends air drying and avoiding radiators and direct sunlight. Check the instructions for your own upper rather than assuming every leather, knit and membrane shoe tolerates the same treatment.
Morning readiness is not guaranteed
Room temperature, airflow and how thoroughly the shoe was soaked affect drying time. Overnight is a deadline you want, not a specification the shoe must meet. Do not compensate with a hot dryer when the material guidance rules that out.
Check inside the toe area and beneath the liner before wearing the pair again. If it remains damp, use another suitable shoe when possible. For repeated wet outings, plan a rotation or different construction instead of exposing the same pair to increasingly aggressive drying methods every evening.
