Creaky, Squeaky Danskos!

Nurses Uniform/Gear

Published

Alright, I love my new oiled black Danskos, but seriously miss the silent patter of my so-unsupporting Crocs!

Anyone have a trick for making those inky, slinky soles a little quieter for the night treading nurse?

try cleaning the soles- it could be something you walked in... like a wet puddle of sorbitol, cleaning solution, etc.... it happens to us in our OR all the time, one day fine, then the next day squeak squeak......we clean the soles then they are good for a while..... anyways, if your talking about like, an internal squeak-- that may be something different....

Mine squeak, got mine on ebay for cheap so I will deal with them....

me too but does dansko have to know that? are they gonna ask for a reciept? i wouldnt mind doing that but they are so comfortable and broken in already, id have to start from scratch. ill try the oil and powder first.

I have two pairs - professional box leather in white, and patent leather in navy. My white ones are about 2 years old, the navy 4 or so months......both will squeak on certain types of floors, especially after a fresh waxing. I solve the problem by cleaning the bottoms of my shoes with a sani-wipe. It works every time! A friend had success with the baby powder trick. I think she has to redo it every few weeks.

The internal squeaking (I have a coworker with those so we always know where she is lol) sounds like a manufacturing problem. I'd definitely send them back!

Dang am I ever late in the game.

I have several pairs of Danskos. Two are beloved...I wear them even out and about.

3 pairs squeaked. I am not talking about the rubber sole squeak on waxed or tiled floors.

Carpet, cement...no sneaking up on anyone for me!

I let my rep at Ace Uniform know...she said that Dansko will replace them. I wrote a little note to go along with my shoes and she replaced them for me on the spot. :)

My new ones do not squeak...even on the tiled floor.

Woot!
