My Motowns are my squeakiest pair. I have done something similar to what MrP suggested. I put the tape on the tongue itself parallel with the lace holes. I had better luck this way. Of course I fear that the tongue might get a bit sticky if I ever decide to remove the tape so there is that. The way to tell if it's your tongue squeaking is pushing down firmly on the lace holes while you are, sort of, stepping forward. If the sound goes away the problem is definitely the tongue. If you are convinced that it is your socks then try putting the scotch tape on the bottom of the tongue. Unless, you are saying that it is your socks slipping on the bottom of your foot. If that is the case then it sounds like you could go down a size or could stand to tighten the laces a bit. Remember not all models of vins(goes for 80's and II's as well) fit exactly the same way. I have all the same sizes but probably could go down a size with the vins cause they are a bit looser at the heal.
