My superstars started squeeking - complience - 27-02-08

I bought a pair of superstars and the right heel started squeeking after 6 months of reasonable use.. just walking from to and from the train station to work... So i Binned em.

and bought myself another pair of superstars of course.

now after 3 months use.. its dam right heel has started squeeking again.. now its probably partly down to how i walk or somthing, cos obviously superstars have no known faults.. but has anyone ever come across this before and got a fix for it?

(im not a fat kid neither if you're wondering)

In my experience it could be for a few reasons, either they are laced too tight, or the shoes are too lose, or perhaps the insole has come loose?
Or it could just be how you walk...

?

If it's definitely in the heel then lacings got nish to do with it.
It's most likely completely down to how you walk.
It's happened on one of my pairs, no solution I can see.

im just thinking it might not actually be the heel squeaking, could be the eyelets or something and it might just sound like the heel

People said this about the CT Lo's last year.
Put a strip of sellotape over the underside of the lace holes and see if that stops it.
I reckon it will be a punctured heel though.

I've found that certain pairs of SS1s with the thin foam-type tongue always squeak with me. I squeak in my PPs, Goofys, Warhols, CTs, you name it. Good think I don't do much walking really!

My Camo Adicolor G5's squeek like a b!tch.... I don't wear them that often for that reason. Get's on my nerves.

so far so good, but none of mine squeak.

maybe my weight smashes the squeaky bit to nothing.

My stan smiths squeaked all the time but I put a bit of talc on the tongue an they were fine

My SS Safetys have squeaked from day one, needless to say I dont wear them often...

RE: My superstars started squeeking - mr.pure - 27-02-08

Talc sounds like a great idea, nice one.
Failing that, tape over the back of the holes is a proven solution.

RE: My superstars started squeeking - Samo - 27-02-08

yeh ive heard of the tape one before.

talc is an interesting idea, it would make the kicks smell nice lol

Bummer -- maybe you got a bad batch or something. I had a pair of Adidas T-Mac 2's that squeaked like a mother. Pissed me off so much I can hardly look at them anymore. I think mine had something to do with glue in the sole coming lose...do you walk in water a lot or did your shoes get soaking wet ever? Maybe that would have something to do with it.
