I own 2 pair of these shoes. The patent leather ones squeak terribly every time i wear them. Not that big of a deal since they are SO comfortable. Just a little embarrassing walking around squeaking. I will try the baby powder trick under the insole. See if that helps. The regular leather pair (zebra print) are so stretched out after about 7 months of wear, they will hardly stay on my feet anymore. I have the strap as tight as it will go. Not sure why this happened, and don't feel this should occur since they are pretty expensive. But i love them regardless. Very comfortable.
