squeaky shoe

[chazza]

how can i stop my shoe squeaking every time I take a step? It is the actual shoe and not the contact with the ground that does it

[crete]

rub the shoe with baby oil

It could be the sole or the uppers. If it's the uppers, crete's suggestion would be well worth a try (though a more shoe-friendly oil might be better EG dubbin).

If it's the sole, it can be caused by the metal strip that runs from the heel to sole rubbing on its surroundings, which is far harder to cure. You need to get some lubricant into the centre of the sole unit, which you might do if you could make a couple of small holes in the sole, from inside the shoe, and drop a bit of oil in.

It seems to be coming from inside the shoe, dont think baby oil would get to the right place

dust some talc in the shoe

[crete]

could there be a trapped mouse in the shoe which is causing the squeaking ?

Have you paid for them? My Grandma used to say shoes that weren't paid for would squeak
