what the hell! this is driving me crazy. I only noticed it since I went back to school… anyone know anything i could do to stop this? only the right one does it, I tried taking a dremel to it to roughen the sole up a bit but that didn’t work I’d like to get a few more months outta these things, they’re at about the end of their life but i just can’t throw them away yet. :doh: ---

In for the answer, got a pair of shoes that I like, but they “click” with every step like there’s a rock stuck in em… happens everywhere except the grass/dirt/plush carpet, smooth commercial carpet they still click on! ---

I have absolutely no idea if the rubber cement will work, but I thought I’d throw it out there. It also might not be the sole, it may be how the boot bends when you walk. ---

i thought of the pad too, so i took some newer ones out of another pair of boots i had, put them in and it still makes noise. then i took the pad out completely, i swear it has to be the bottom but it doesn’t make any sense. both sides are worn evenly but only the right side makes noise ---

LMFAO! My Wolverines do that too Matt, but only the left one, it drives me crazy at work adn i always think my feet are either soaked or sweating but just in the left. It seems to come from the heel inside, not outside. ---

I had a shoe like that, it came loose and it made a clicking sound. ---

Ryan, I checked and they seem intact… This had happened before, and I dealt with it for a few weeks and it went away, it’s come back and after almost a month I’ve pretty much given up on them! Shaggy, I’m going to try some of those thrifty tips… funny the sites out there now! Thanks for the tips though, I would have never thought to ask Pittspeed for shoe support! lol
