Squeaky Shoes
Dear Aunt Daisy, I have a new ‘pair of leather shoes which squeak horribly, so much so that they are unwearable. Could you suggest, through your page in The Listener, how I could overcome this trouble?
"Squeaky Shoes."
The reason is supposed to be that air is trapped between layers of leather and is striving to get out. But do soles of shoes nowadays have layers? Anyhow, the only remedy given is to prick little holes in the sole with a strong needle; or to stand the shoes overnight ‘in a flat tin containing a thin layer of linseed oil, not enough to stain the uppers.
