Ever had a Dainite sole become squeaky on a GWY shoe?

Has anyone with experience of GWY shoes ever had a Dainite sole start being squeaky when walking? Were you able to do anything to fix besides taking to a cobbler?

On all surfaces or specific surfaces only?

I’ve had them squeak when wet, but never dry.

Are you sure that it's the sole is squeaking? It could possibly be caused by other issues such as the shank or the fit of the shoe.

Seens to be all Not absolutely sure but it was a guess. It's both shoes and it only just started, I've had these shoes for quite a while now

Okay after more trying it out this morning it is the left shoe and it is when I flex it So I guess the shank?

It's possible. Does the squeak sound like it's coming from inside the shoe or outside? If inside, it's possible that it's the insole rubbing. If there's a removable insole, try taking it out and see if that helps. If it's not removable, some baby powder could help. If they're newer shoes, they may need to break in more. If they're older, I would condition them and see if that helps. If none of that applies, then I would just take them to a cobbler.

I'm not 100% sure, it's hard to tell - no removable sole, they're about a year or so old so I'll try conditioning
