• If a squeak is coming from inside the shoe, pull up the insoles and sprinkle powder along the contours. If the insole cannot be removed, apply powder to the edge of the sole.
• Sprinkle powder on the tongue under the laces if the tongue makes a squeaking sound.
• If the sole is chattering, it may be due to the air cushion. Apply the powder to the sole of the shoe in the contour or vents.

Wipe shoes with WD40 product or silicone spray. These two products are more effective than skin care products but need to be applied with care to avoid damaging the shoes. Spray one of the lubricants on a cotton towel or cotton ball. Then wipe around the outer contour of the shoe, along the squeaky spot, or the entire outer part of the shoe.

• Do not use oil-based products on suede shoes, as the rough surface of the leather may be damaged.

Glue silicone (silicone caulk) to open shoe soles. Buy a silicone tube with a squeeze tip or a special silicone product for shoe repair. Place the tip of the glue tube in the gap between the shoe and the sole and slowly squeeze the glue until it fills the gap. Fasten shoes and soles with elastic straps, heavy weight or special hardware clamps and let dry overnight.

Check the cause of the squeaky noise in wet shoes. A lot of shoes just creak when wet. Sometimes this is just the sound created by rubber shoe soles on linoleum, hardwood, or other slippery flooring. Some shoe soles bulge or develop texture problems when wet, causing the shoe to squeak and this problem can be fixed with other methods in this article. Whichever method you choose, the drying method in this section will teach you how to dry your shoes quickly and effectively without damaging them.

Take out shoe insoles. If your shoes have detachable insoles, you should remove them and allow them to dry separately to allow them to dry more quickly.

Put newspaper into your shoes. Stick the dry paper and stuff it in your shoes. Try to insert the first piece of paper into the toe for maximum absorbent effect.

Use shoe tree with cedar wood if possible. A "sole" is a two-part object that is used to insert into the shoe instead of newspaper in order to maintain the shoe's shape while drying the shoe. The sole made of cedar wood is especially effective because the wood draws moisture out of the shoe.

Let shoes lie on their side at room temperature. You can lay your shoes on your side or rest them against the wall so that the sole is facing out while it is dry. Air dry in a warm place, but not next to a heat source. advertisement
