shoe hounds...
I know this has been discussed at least a few times before but I have a horribly irritating squeak coming out of the sole of one of my boots. Like 'dog toy' squeak. Like I should be running around a circus ring throwing confetti at the audience squeak.
It's a Rick Owens boot...side zips with a crepe sole (a/w09). Everything I've read hints that the squeak is born between the insole and where it meets the outsole. The problem is that the insole is sewn down and there's no way to get to the squeak (solutions range from putting a napkin between the two pieces, putting glue in there, WD40 or other lubricant). It squeaks on every surface from carpet to concrete to tile so it's not an issue of the sole hitting whatever I'm walking on...I've tried everything I can think of so far and it's annoying as fuck...I just quit wearing them about 2 weeks ago and just recently took up the cause to find a solution.
If anyone has had a similar issue and solved it, please let me know. Or if you have any suggestions. I think removing the insole of these things would be next to impossible because there is stitching around it and likely a very strong adhesive keeping it down.
I know that squeaky shoes were once in fashion but it's driving me fucking nuts.
