How can I stop my shoes from squeaking?

How do I make my shoes stop squeaking?

  • I'm wearing a pair of Borns Staleys. I love them, very comfy! The only problem is that they squeak on the floors at work. I'm guessing due to the cleaners/varnishes that they use here on the high traffic linoleum floors. Any suggestions on how to get these shoes to stop? The shoes are a leather upper with a textured polyurethane outsole. Here is a link to them: <a href="http://www.bornshoes.com/asp/shoepage.a sp?itemid=M9047">http://www.bornshoes.com/asp /shoepage.asp?itemid=M9047</a>

    This is funny bc i was sitting here (haven't changed the channel since my daughter went off to school) watching the episode of spongebob were he wore the squeaky boots and it got me thinking of my husbands jordans that my brother in law gave to him (because they squeaked..lol) and instantly wondered if i googled it could i find a way to fix it? This is the first link that came up .. i read a few stories and then decided to try it myself and wouldn't you know.. IT WORKED!! I rubbed lotion across the bottom of the shoes and then pulled up the inserts inside the shoe and rubbed lotion all the way up and down the shoes and pushed the insert back down.. both shoes that once squeaked are now silent :) thank you!

I am a teacher in ND, and I just tried the lotion tip and the WD-40 tip with my 8th grade class. They kept making fun of my squeaky shoes! Both tips worked perfectly so far. I just put lotion on the bottom of one shoe and sprayed WD-40 on the bottom of the other, and both are squeak free with quality traction. All is right again in the upper Great Plains!

I found this site this morning and read the lotion solutions and had my doubts, but I took out the insole and applied some lotion and applied some lotion to the bottom toe area of the shoe and to my surprise it worked. Thanks.

I just fixed a pair of squeaky Merril casual shoes. I removed the insole-inserts and sprinkled J&J baby powder lightly on the inside of the shoes, replaced the inserts, and like magic, they do not squeak any more.
