My Sneakers Keep Squeaking :|

[Kev]

So, I washed my shoes last night, kept them in the drier for aout 80 minutes (so it's not like they're wet), and now every time I step on my right shoe it squeaks. Needless to say, this is driving me insane. How do I cure this? I'm going to throw them out if I can't get this squeaking to stop. :|

dry 'em more with a hair dryer or something
or if that doesn't work, walk around in them - it should wear off

Soak them in a bucket with three drops lemon oil to one gallon of water. Soak for about an hour. Rinse them well. Spray the soles with pine-scented air freshener.

It won't stop the squeaking, but they sure will smell nice.

Get new sneakers.....

Actually they probably aren't totally dry. Let them dry some more.

You have no idea how many times I sprayed these shoes with air freshener. Nothing worked. I've never had smelly feet before but I swear these shoes accumulate and amplify stink.

I guess I will try drying them for another 1 1/2 hrs tonight. Till then, SQUEAK SQUEAK SQUEAK !!!

Ahahahah! If I didn't already have a QOTW, that would be it.

You get an Honorable Mention.
