runners squeaking

alantc

eh, might be the wrong place but...

my runners (bought them about 3 months ago) jsut started squeaking in the last few days. Every time my right foot goes down i hear this horrible squeak. Does anyone know any miracle cure for this. (it's v.annoying)

I get that with runners too, usually older ones but it happened with a fairly new pair once. I never figured it out but I know how annoying it can be.

Are they Nike Air's??

Is the air bubble punctured?

If so, a bike puncture repair kit might work.

I hate that!!!
And then you end up walking funny because its less noisy that way and then people laugh at you.....

Care to elaborate? Too loose at that particular time of squeeking? Too loose most of the time causing uneven wear?

you could always try wearing a different pair of runners

Thats what I found was making mine squeak before, just making the top(around the ankle) a little bit tighter stopped it. So it could be because they're too loose like, or it could be waters got into the sole,which means buying a new pair.

I'll try tightening them. They're vans. Only the right one squeaks. I hope it's not water. I haven't had them particularly long.. expect to get another 8 months out of em anyway. Grrr.

Vans squeaking?Thats the first time ive heard of that!But yeah, they're worn fairly loose around the ankle, from what I know, so just try tightening them up a bit, should do the job.If it is water, put them on the radiator for a while, I did that before, it only works for a while though ( til you're back out in rain )

What a coincidence!

BOTH my Vans squeak (fairly unworn too). Just happened about a month ago. I reckon it was the wet but it's unbearable now. No really...Have you tried walking around a library with them?! Gonna try burn it outa them!

Nikes with a burst bubble are good for the bin.

i find its usually moisture, is there a little rip in the sole ? and has it been wet outside..

Try oiling them.

Of course the lack of friction may make walking difficult.

My converse trainers squeak as well, it's so aggrivating!
