What’s more annoying than noisy shoes if not noisy shoes themselves?!

Your shoes squeak when air or moisture get trapped inside the soles or insoles or when the shoes’ outside material rub against each other.

Use baby powder or talcum powder by sprinkling it under the inner soles of your shoes or around them, if the sole is unremovable, to reduce friction and set your shoes to silent mode!

#2 – Sandpaper for slippery shoes

We take it back, there is something much more annoying (and dangerous) than squeaky shoes: slippery shoes.

To fix your slippery new shoes and reduce your chances of tripping, take sandpaper and scuff the bottom of your shoes to roughen them up. It works on different types of shoes; golf shoes, boots, sneakers, etc.

Make sure to properly rub the sandpaper on the soles but be careful not to scratch the surface of your shoes.

If you don’t have sandpaper, rub the bottom of your shoes against rough surfaces such as concrete or bricks. They’re such lifesavers!

#3 – Heel caps for high heels

Do you want to prevent your high heels from wearing down and make them quieter at the same time? Use heel caps.

Cover the tips of your stilettoes with rubber heel caps to protect them from damage and minimize the annoying heel clicks.

If the heel tips are already broken, you can use the tiny caps to cover the exposed metal nail and give them a new life!
