And those canny folk at cycling label Vulpine have teamed up with Newspaper Club founder Ben Terrett to exploit this market with their newly launched Shoe Drying Kit.

The Shoe Drying Kit comprises 32 sheets of fully absorbant paper, perfectly sized for stuffing into damp footwear.

The Kit is manufactured in the UK and the makers promise that it will ‘improve wet-weather cycling for ever’.
