It's also a great place for placing worn undies and other small items. It really works well with men's shoes. We also use a thin, plastic grocery bag to put the items in before placing in the shoes.
The bigger the feet the more stuff you can put in the shoes.
Take care,
Mike

I also had a friend who packed her rum in her checked luggage due to the 3 oz rule...and packed her dirty underwear in the box with the rum. She wrote on the outside "This contains rum, and dirty underwear. Please do not lose. Thanks." I'm sure they got a big kick out of it! But hey, she saved room...
stuffing socks into shoes also has another plus, if you put the dress socks in with the dress shoes, then you are coordinated for the evening! I also use the ziploc type bags, stuff them full with socks, i also do this with undies and t-shirts,squish out all the air and just toss them in your suitcase
