Squeaky Shoes
Squeaky shoes are supposed to be caused by air between the layers of leather. Try pricking a few holes in the sole with a strong needle to release the air. Another idea is to stand the shoes overnight in a flat plate containing a thin layer of linseed oil-not enough to soak up into the uppers and stain them, of course. Sometimes the squeak will go off after the shoes have been worn on one or two wet days.
