Not sure if this is the best thread but got some leather shoes that I love but they seem to squeek now, is there anything I can do to stop the squeek?

Cheers and stay fat!

    I'm presuming the shoes are squeaking as you are walking so it is the bottom of the shoes which are 'sounding like mice'?

    If it is the sole then they may be faulty. There is something inside the sole called the shank which is a metal plate and sometimes when this 'goes' it begins to squeak. If you haven't had them long then take them back to the store where you got them from and ask. A cobblers would also let you know if its a fault or not.

    Hope that helps :D

    Had them a while, I seem to think that they've got damaged by the rain - don't ask me why, just seems to have got worse since then.
