How to eliminate squeaking from my leather shoes?Updated 4 months ago

It’s common for leather shoes to squeak, especially when they’re new and adapting to your feet. This issue can also be caused by moisture. Here’s a simple and effective solution to resolve the problem.

Why do my shoes squeak?

• Break-in period: New shoes may squeak while conforming to the shape of your feet.
• Moisture: Excess moisture can cause friction and unpleasant noises.
• Internal friction: Different parts of the shoe may rub against each other, producing squeaking.

👉  Quick Solution: Use Talcum Powder

Talc is an effective remedy for reducing squeaking. Here’s how to apply it:

1. Remove the insoles from your shoes.
2. Identify noisy areas: Locate where the squeaking is most noticeable.
3. Generously apply talcum powder to those areas.
4. Let the talc sit for 5 to 10 minutes to ensure it penetrates thoroughly.
5. Put the insoles back in place.

👉  How does talcum powder work?

• Absorbs moisture: Talc helps neutralize excess moisture in the shoe.
• Reduces friction: It creates a thin layer that minimizes friction between different parts of the shoe.

Additional Tips

• Repeat the process if necessary.
• Ensure your shoes are completely dry before applying talcum powder.
• For optimal care, allow your shoes to dry naturally after each use.

By following these steps, you should notice a significant reduction or complete elimination of the squeaking. If the issue persists, don’t hesitate to contact us for further assistance.
