Does anyone have any tips for making shoes less squeaky? I've got a newish pair of AV_Field derbies, and they're embarrassingly loud. I've been wearing them around the house, hoping they'll get better as they break in, but they seem to be getting worse.

they probably have leather insoles, take them out or switch them to any other insoles and you should get rid of the squeak. Even aftermarket leather insoles are fine as they tend to have a non-leather padding underneath (like this)"AVANT GUARDE HIGHEST FASHION.

Got these DD creepers a few days ago. This zipper is moldy, no? Both are totally functional, but the right one looks like it has something funky going on or was maybe discolored due to it possibly being a window display? Thought I grabbed the new pair, but may have ended up with the display during checkout. Otherwise exterior leather and all of that is immaculate. Aesthetically doesn't bug me too much, but worried about long term issues.
Thoughts? Any ideas on home remedies in case I can't resolve with the shop?"I would use lard if it came in a pretty bottle."

is that lighter coloured area leather? I thought it had something like a strip of plastic, but then realized the other pair doesn't have it"AVANT GUARDE HIGHEST FASHION.

Cowboy Shoe Repair at 396 Broome is also good. If you have 2-8 weeks and want the "best in the city" you can try Leather Spa on 55th.Originally posted by FaustHOBBY?! HOBBY?!?!?!?!?!

So does anybody know of a quality cobbler in or around Copenhagen, Denmark? Figured it would be worth a shot and I have a pair of boots that need resoling very soon and would really like to get a hold of someone proper this time around. Recommendations, guys! Thanks.

there are less expensive places that does a very good Job on things like those.
I have an old jewish guy on 37th street between 8 and 9th that I use. I have been going to him for over five years and never had a single issue at all.
Speaking of "Snowmaggedon".......this is just completely crazy and the waetherman is saying there is more to come
I have ben at home all day today and had to cancel work because its just really crazy outside........
Last week on one trip from work to hime i counted 10 cars that were either in accidents or had flat tires from potholes just because of the weather.........“You know,” he says, with a resilient smile, “it is a hard world for poets.”
