Why do sneakers squeak?
Squeaky sneakers
If you have a pair of sneakers or leather shoes that squeak, then you've come to the right place. There is nothing more embarrassing than walking around in a pair of sneakers where almost everyone you pass turns their head. However, it is completely natural for sneakers to squeak, and this does not mean that there is something wrong with you. There can be many reasons why sneakers squeak, which are basically due to the materials rubbing against each other. Below you will get some advice on the road so that you can reduce or eliminate the squeaking sound from your sneakers.
Solution to squeaky sneakers
There are a lot of solutions for squeaky sneakers, and the vast majority work quite flawlessly. However, there are some fallback groups that mean you have to be careful about just trying the first solution you find. It is important that you investigate whether the solution is suitable for leather sneakers, as the material does not withstand quite the same as other materials. For example, we do not recommend that you use powder to absorb moisture in your leather sneakers, as it will dry out and crack the leather. White leather sneakers can also be vulnerable to some types of care products, which you should therefore be aware of.
If you experience creaking noises, it is normal that they disappear after you get them. If they do not, you are always welcome to write to us for guidance. We find that the noise can be reduced by applying moisturizing cream to the areas where you experience your sneakers squeaking. It is often the "tongue" of the shoe (the flap that sits under the laces) and the lining on the inside of the shoe that rub against each other. Therefore, it may be a good idea to apply a little moisturizer where the liner and the tongue meet.

On with the socks
Squeaking noises from sneakers can also be caused by wet shoes, which can happen after a walk in the rain or an overlooked puddle. In such cases, it is important to let your shoes dry completely, as the inside of the sneakers can contribute to squeaking noises. The same applies if your feet sweat a lot.
• We always recommend that you wear socks with your sneakers, as they can absorb moisture. It can prevent moisture accumulation, which also protects you against squeaky sneakers.
• We also recommend that you have several pairs of sneakers to change between, so that it allows them to dry alternately when not in use. In addition to ensuring that the leather is dry and does not make squeaking noises, your sneakers also last considerably longer. A pair of sneakers that is used day after day will wear out faster and the leather will never really dry completely between uses.
