I have a pair of Meermin suede oxfords, which I've worn for about 2 months now. It made squeaky noises when I walked due to friction with the socks so I put some talc powder in the shoes and the noises disappeared. However recently there has been a different kind of squeaking -- it happens when the sole flexes, when you start to lift your foot off the ground and the heel moves first and the sole bends. I'm not sure if it's due to friction again but I could only pinpoint it to the moment when the sole flexes. Any ideas on how to fix this? Sending back to Meermin is not an option.

Apart from that the shoes are pretty great, not the best finishing but not bad at all. The suede looks and feels soft. The snuff colour is darker than on the website but is just the right shade of brown imo. Not too light not too dark. I prefer it over the lighter website colour to be honest.

Squeaking may be caused by a loose shank, air pocket or materials rubbing against each other. Seems like a pretty common issue for Meermin.

My 1-year old Carmina. I heard there's now 1 shop in BSC selling Carmina shoes and some other menswear stuff from PJT, etc.

Carmina in Malaysia? Which shop exactly?

I read in another thread that the Carmina's there go for RM 1880 which is a pretty decent price. Not too far off online prices and you get the invaluable perk of being able to try the shoes.

I would support local stores if they price difference was negligible.

Congrats bro.. Was looking for a few site for their MTO or either their ready made Double Monk. I'm pretty sure the next hunt will be a double Monk.
Well sending back to meermin definitely not an option.. Try to find best solution to solve the uprising issue.
I do encounter the squeaky sound when walking with the sole & socks friction. Had no ideal until i read bro post.I think i got an solution from you.
Btw,Is not a leather shoe that have the squeaky sound.It was a new pair of Jack purcell converse shoe.

Marver, what's the solution you have for squeaky shoes? I can't stand it anymore. It seems to have got much worse in the last week. It's loud and both the left and side shoes have it. Frankly it's an embarrassing pair of shoes to wear.

Anyone knows if the Professional Shoe Repair shop in Ikano or the cobbler in Mid Valley can fix squeaky GYW shoes? Or fix a loose shank?

I'm following bro advise / solution.
Talc Powder and the sound gone.. Or perhaps can cut down.
Sometimes the sound come again 

Oh lol. I thought you had a solution FOR me. Just read your post again and it said you got a solution FROM me. Haha.

I think powder works for friction from contact against socks. My squeaking is internal. Probably the shank or something.

Lol... Sorry for my broken english 
Any sifu can give solution on the squeaking issue?
Hope is not the sole problem.. or else going to spend some $ to fix it at the cobble.

Yours is a Grenson?

My Loake never had any squeaking problems. My next pair arriving is J. Fitzpatrick, let's see if the squeak occurs. After that I'll probably be getting a pair of Carminas.

If I can't get it fixed for my Meermins I'm going to have to relegate it for wears to malls or someplace with noise. Can't do it in an office environment where the squeaks will be audible.
