Squeaky shoes!

Mine all stopped squeaking after I wore them a lot, but it was a really hard adjustment period. I just had to learn to own the fact that I sounded like a clown whenever I walked down our 50 yard hallway.

I read awhile back that sometimes the ""squeak"" is caused by the different layers of sole rubbing on each other. In this case unfortunately there is no fix but will sometimes lessen or go away with wear. I had a pair of sandals that did this and drove me NUTS. I had to give them away!

Thanks, Newnick. I will have to try that powder tip. I have a beautiful pair of black Nine West pumps that I love, but they squeak when I walk on the carpet at work and it drives me nuts. They're fine everywhere else. It's just that carpet at the office, which is where I want to wear them! I guess if the powder doesn't work, I really need to let them go because I've had them for at least 7 years now.

I purchased a beautiful pair of black leather Cole Haan loafers. In the store they were fine. At home, months later, when I finally tried wearing them, one of them squeaked at every step. If the powder idea does not work I will contact a shoe repair shop (they are harder to find nowadays) and also write to the company. Maybe they can do an in-house fix if I am willing to pay. Hate to see all that $$$ go down the drain.

I've had different brands of shoes that have squeaked. When I bent them back and forth with my hands there wasn't a sound. After trying different things I decided that when I didn't wear socks, stockings, etc. the shoe squeaked, but not when I wore them. So maybe an insole or powder will alleviate the problem.
