For the first few weeks, these shoes are great. Then, when you wear them for more than 30 or so minutes, something happens with the "friction" inside the shoes, and they start to squeak. I saw this in the reviews and thought...huh, this won't happen to me. It happened to me. These shoes are notorious for squeaking. You feel like a 3 year old walking around with your shoes squeaking every step. Avoid this pair of shoes please.
