I had a pair of shoes that did this and it was amazing how well it worked. You did have to repeat from time to time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/squeaky-sandals#post-1293360 Wed, 02 Jul 2014 21:01:02 +0000 Nebraskim 1293360@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would take them to a shoe repair shop to see if they can do something. I am remembering hearing a hack like trying to inject powder or cornstarch into a squeaky area to help "lubricate" the area. Seems weird but also seems like it would work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/squeaky-sandals#post-1293283 Wed, 02 Jul 2014 19:20:23 +0000 rachylou 1293283@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't wonder if moisture control and temperature in storage was a factor. I've read something about stuffing shoes with newsprint before storing them away. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/squeaky-sandals#post-1293218 Wed, 02 Jul 2014 17:09:25 +0000 Gigi 1293218@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I second Firecracker's suggestion of trying leather conditioner. If that doesn't work, I would take them to a cobbler to see if anything can be done. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/squeaky-sandals#post-1293169 Wed, 02 Jul 2014 16:10:46 +0000 Thistle 1293169@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ceit - the soles are about 1.5 inches thick. They are soft, so I am thinking they are padded. There is a strip of leather over the thick&nbsp;sole so that your feet are touching the leather not the sole.</p> <p>Anna - The part that touches my feet is leather, but I am betting that the inner part of the sole is synthetic. </p> <p>Sounds like it might just be time to part ways. I am sad as I like them, they are comfy, and I&nbsp;am not sure I got a good CPW from them. But I won't wear them with the squeak.&nbsp;I will try some of the leather conditioner I have first.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/squeaky-sandals#post-1293167 Wed, 02 Jul 2014 16:10:14 +0000 deb 1293167@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Take them to a cobbler and ask what it is and if anything can be done. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/squeaky-sandals#post-1293137 Wed, 02 Jul 2014 15:26:54 +0000 Adelfa 1293137@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a pair of authentic huarache sandals that I really love but they have always been LOUD so I only wear them once a summer or so, just enough to remember how bad the squeak is.</p> <p>Also, this summer I had a pair of Stuart Weitzman pumps (that I've had for several years) develop a squeak. That was mainly why I got the nude Okalas, because minus the squeak the SWs&nbsp;filled the nude pump hole.</p> <p>So it happens across all price points and can come on over time. Sigh. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/squeaky-sandals#post-1293130 Wed, 02 Jul 2014 15:11:03 +0000 annagybe 1293130@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If it's a synthetic sole, it might be breaking down. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/squeaky-sandals#post-1293129 Wed, 02 Jul 2014 15:07:47 +0000 rute 1293129@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><span>I have the same problem!<br />My comfiest sandals&nbsp;do the same thing!

I haven't had a squeaky shoe in a long time. But here's a wild guess: since it didn't happen before, the leather may have gotten a little dry. You could try a leather conditioner on them and see if that makes it go away. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/squeaky-sandals#post-1293125 Wed, 02 Jul 2014 15:03:34 +0000 Thistle 1293125@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is somethign inside the sandal.&nbsp; They squeak whether or hardwood, carpet, or tile. And one sandal is much worse than the other, which is odd.</p> <p>I would like to save them, as I do still like them, but I won't wear them if they squeak.</p> <p>And yes, Windchime, it is totally embarassing!&nbsp; You know its bad when DH notices&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/squeaky-sandals#post-1293100 Wed, 02 Jul 2014 14:30:03 +0000 Anonymous 1293100@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What is squeaking? The soles on the floor, or something inside the sole? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/squeaky-sandals#post-1293080 Wed, 02 Jul 2014 13:57:47 +0000 Jenny H 1293080@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hate it when this happens. Sadly, I do not have a solution only sympathy. This has happened to me with a few pairs of shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/squeaky-sandals#post-1293074 Wed, 02 Jul 2014 13:53:44 +0000 Windchime 1293074@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't have a solution but will watch this thread with interest because I have a pair that does the same thing, only on one side. Kind of embarrassing, isn't it?! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/squeaky-sandals#post-1293069 Wed, 02 Jul 2014 13:50:17 +0000 Thistle 1293069@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a pair of snakeskin Trotter's sandals. Very comfy, even on my extra fussy feet. I bought them in June 2012 and have worn them pretty regularly in our short summer months.</p> <p>This year, when I took them out of storage, they started squeaking when I walk. This was never an issue in years past. I wore them once, and it&nbsp;drove me bats. This morning, the squeaking made&nbsp;me take&nbsp;them off&nbsp;and put on a different pair.</p> <p>Anyone else ever have this problem with shoes?</p> <p>Any idea what causes it so I can either prevent it from happening to another pair or fix this one? </p>
