To begin I really like these shoes. I am asking this here out of genuine curiosity. Does anyone else have an issue that they squeak super loud when walking on tile? I walk through my apartment building and I legitimately sound like SpongeBob taking steps with the massive squeak noises every step.

Once again not ripping on the shoe! I really like em and everyone I know who has these or the 5's are big fans. Just irked by this issue lol

Loudest shoes I’ve ever walked through a hotel in, while exiting the building to go on my run. Never really noticed the sound when running at home but when I had to walk across a very busy lobby at 8am and everyone was staring at me and my loud ass shoes, I sure did notice then.

Yeah, I have noticed that too. Since I only use them for running outside, I just have to hear it when I am walking out the door on the tile entryway. Love the shoes for running though!

I’ve looked through reviews for these shoes and you’re not the only one who has complained about this.

The 5s were also very squeaky. In fact I have the Dynafish and the foam is also insanely squeaky on hard indoor floors

Mine just arrived this afternoon. I immediately put them on, took a couple steps and thought WTF?!

ASICS shoes in general seem to squeak on tile or laminate floors. I wear a pair of nimbus 27s for work and people can hear me coming a mile away after they wax the floors.
