Hi folks, I have a pair of joggers, not a cheap brand (Moutain Design...no I am not rich, got them from a 2nd hand store, lol ) but they (soles) squeak like hell on concrete or tiles, ok when you walk on grass or concrete.

Not too sure if the soles are rubber or a combination of plastic and rubber, bit hard to tell.

Anyone got any remedy's please.....driving the missus nuts and she reckons its embarassing walking through a shopping centre with me  

They recon WD40 fixes most squeaks - oops sorry  

Got just the thing for you Vic, don't walk on concrete or tiles, problem solved

 Womby, you are a bad as me  

To cover squeaks or rattles in the tug you turn up the radio, so the answer is simple, buy your wife an mp3 player, she won't hear your shoes with the earphones in.... 

Honestly you lot, we have a member with a genuine concern and you just choose to make fun of the prediciment. If you can't help, why comment?

I, on the other hand Vic, after much thought, might ask if you know how to moon walk mate, this may just help this problem once and for all.

This proves it, we are all bloody mad.  

FF, you are just as stupid as the rest of us only one sane person on here and that's me

Thank goodness I was not having a sip of my lady wine when you made that broad statement Wommy, I may have had to have windscreen wipers fitted to my laptop screen mate.

And isn't it fun being mad.  Who would want to be sane in this world.  Being mad makes life easier.

Yep Ma, makes you look forward to the unexpected and not get floored by it.

FF, at the beginning of your post I thought I was seening some sanity, but happily you joined us.

it's all Vic's fault, with his squeaky shoes, gota blame somebody

That's the name of the game in today's society isn't it?   Blame the other bloke.

Well it's good that Vic has broad shoulders. 

YEH!!!  Vic, you must be a troublemaker

 I told you that you shouldn't wear those shorts

VIC, look what you have started here, where is it going to end?

AHEM!! serious now

Squeaky runners are often the result of friction between smooth soles and polished floors, one solution that often works is to get some fine sandpaper or wet n dry and roughen the soles of both shoes all over, hopefully this will remedy the problem.

That sounds almost believable Goinsoon..

Okay Vic you can come out now...

Vic stop banging your head against the wall.. 

sometimes I have fleeting moments of something almost approaching sanity

Be sure and let me know when that's going to happen won't you GS.......

Trouble is Ma, I never get a warning

Vic are you there???

Vic, here Vic c'mon here Vic....

 I think he's gone...

We probably scared him off Gubby.   Who on earth would want to be associated with us bunch of misfits..........................

I was the only one that made any sense me thinks.
