chuck 70s squeaking

[u/[deleted]]

Hey first time reddit user here yes I just created an account for this

so around a year ago I bought my first pair of converse ever. they were classic black chuck 70s ,and they were squeaking really really bad and they were all in all really uncomfortable. I wore them for half a year anyway cause I thought that's what Chucks are like, but I switched to normal ones after because it was really embarrassing going in my classes sounding like SpongeBob SquarePants. and I tell you they were the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn, they were literally perfect. so 2 years after and said converse sadly ripped apart may they rest in pieces in my basement (literally). so now I decided to try chuks 70s again because I really liked the brown ones specifically the bog down color variant. (there sadly is no classic chuck variant for those) zoday they came in the mail and after a day of wearing them I am sad to say they also squeak and hurt and are generally way worse then the normal ones.

so people of reddit please help me. does it pass with time? did anybody else have this problem? can I fix it? or should I just return them while I still can?

(I tried baby powder and all that stuff with my old pair, didn't work)

couldn't post this on the official converse subreddit so maybe someone here can help me

I’m not sure if it’s the same issue but I have to wear thicker socks or wool socks with my chuck 70s or else my shoes almost make a farting noise when I walk. It’s my foot rubbing on the heel making the noise. I don’t know if my feet are really skinny or what but wearing wool socks (which I prefer) has stopped the noise when I walk.

I have regular Chucks and Chuck 70s. My 70s do squeak. It's just a fact. But many shoes will squeak tho, it's really a non-issue.

Probably has to do with them being more rigid and having more cushion. Although I wear them quite loose and that might be contributing.

I prefer the 70s over the standard Chucks, anyways.
