sharpeimom Specializes in ortho, hospice volunteer, psych,. Has 20 years experience. Nov 15, 2009 when i had a unbelievably squeaky pair of shoes years ago, an older nurse told me to heavily baby powder them, inside and out, and leave them like that overnight. you then shake all the powder into the sink or tub, wipe them and polish them. wonder whether that might work on black shoes too? hmmm ...kathysharpeimom:paw::paw: 0 Likes

Lucky0220 Specializes in Med/Surg, Acute Rehab. Has 4 years experience. Nov 15, 2009 Been wearing the same Danskos for the last year. At my present facility, they squeak, and I feel like the cat with a bell around its neck! (they know I'm coming!), but at my previous facility, they did not make any noise at all. Cannot figure it out. 0 Likes

Unfortunately I can't help you with the squeak , but this short clog story might give you a laugh : about two years ago I bought a pair of suede clogs . I was walking to my car when I heard a kitten crying - meow.....meoww . Looked under the car and no kitten so I went to dinner. When I got home the little kitty was back ....meoww, meow. I got a flashlight and went to find it but it did not cry whenever I stopped to look. As I walked back to my door the kitty was following me ....meow . Thats when I realized it was my left clog squeaking !!!!! Meow : ) Good Luck !!!!! 0 Likes
MagsMom Nov 15, 2009 My danskos squeak when I am in the new part of the hospital - in the older part which is mostly the medical school and administrative offices they don't squeak as much. I finally figured that in the patient areas the floors are cleaned and waxed much more frequently than the other part. I think it has everything to do with the super clean floors because my danskos never squeak at home!! 0 Likes

emnicams Nov 16, 2009 This is so funny because people were complaining about their Danskos squeaking at work today! Sorry, I just wear plain old New Balance tennis shoes so I have no advice, but obviously you aren't alone in this problem. 0 Likes

WittleOnesRN Nov 16, 2009 Ya I have the same problem, we got a new floor at work and the squeaking started. I think it is the floor. So, I have bought crocs. I love my clogs but the noise bugs me! 0 Likes
SoundofMusic Nov 16, 2009 Yep -- have the same problem. And it bums me out to no end because my Danskos really fixed my foot pain problem. But I seriously cannot wear them at work, and definitely NEVER on night shift. Everyone knows I'm coming when I have them on and they just laugh at me -- (and I really don't need to give anyone anything else to laugh at me about! )So, I'm stuck wearing really good tennis shoes, and just wear my D's on my day off to "fix" my feet some more.Wish the manufacturer would fix this problem, or find a way to stop the squeak. 0 Likes
