1. Sprinkle With Powder In Your Squeaky Shoes To Prevent Annoying Noise 

This is probably the best way to get rid of that annoying noise. Because powder absorbs the moisture in your shoes.

As well as sprinkle the baby powder in your shoes where you feel the noise comes out. Moreover, you can also use cornstarch or baking powder if you don’t have baby powder.

In addition, If your feet smell really bad while taking off the shoes, then the baby powder also reduces it. Sounds good!.

2. Rub Your Shoes With Leather Conditioner Or Saddle Soap To Stop Squeaky Shoes

This will solve the problem of both men and women. How? Because as you know most men are using leather shoes and the women are using ladies shoes when moving out of your house.

I know leather is a comfortable material that’s why you like it but if your leather shoes started squeaking then what would you do?

How do you control its squeaky noise? Wait, if you think to sprinkle the powder then this will cost you more. Because powder reacts differently when used with leather. You can use a leather conditioner for making the shit down.

Also, you can use saddle soap and conditioner with your leather shoes to lubricate it, after that buff it with a dry cloth this gives your shoes shine and helps you to get rid of the squeaky noise.

But I know that no one wears a wet shoe and you are also not doing this. In addition, when wearing new shoes you probably heard that squeaky noise.
