How do I get read of the squeaky sounds from my tennis shoes?
The World We Know asked:
Two days ago, we had a rainstorm in my city. I walked on wet streets and through some small puddles throughout that day. Afterwards, I discovered that one of my tennis shoes made a squeaking sound. Two days later, the shoe still makes that sound.

The sole of my shoe is rubber, and the sound seems to be coming from a rubber part that is within the larger outside rubber part (think of a small circle, representing the squeaky area, within a large oval, representing the entire sole).
Is it as simple as drying it as thoroughly as possible? I thought two days would be plenty of time to dry. Any advice?
Thanks!
you need to wear them in, kjust keep running in them.
There is an article about this on Lifehacker.com I think they said to use baby powder.
Put tape on the bottom. If your shoes are wet, however, dry them off.
I have no idea how to fix it, but is it not the most annoying sound in the world? It drives me NUTS!
I like to annoy people with my squeaky shoes.
never thought of that, mine do that when it rains…………
can’t call them “sneakers” anymore
silicon spry is the answer. the some they use to dress plastic parts in cars.you can buy in a car parts store and is also excellent for leader shoes. it make them flexible.
When anything squeeks aroung the house, I apply a generous amount of oil.
Seriously, put them in front of the frig for a while to dry out.
