I bought cheap sandals at Payless. They squeak horribly but the inner sole is permanently attached. I am making too much noise at work! HELP ME!

I once read if you poke the bottoms with a needle and make a bunch of little 'holes' it'll stop the squeek.
I'd use a larger needle so you actually get a hole, though, of course, it's not really big enough to see.

Try using WD-40 or a silicone based lubricant. You may have a slight odor, but it is worth a try.

I have the same problem. I found three things that help. One is to dust a bit of powder on the shoe in the morning. Two is to fit those little "footsies" on and most people don't notice. And third, you can use double back tape to put in non skid shoe inserts. Good luck!

Oh, dear. I had the same thing happen with many pairs of work sandals, and mine were not from Payless but were all name brands. It was so embarrassing at the office. I finally decided not to buy any more of those rubbery-soft wedges. There's just something about them that does that, and I don't think they're fixable. I even tried beating them with a hammer! For this summer, I found some Dockers sandals that look reasonably businesslike and have leather-covered wedges made from a slightly more rigid material. They're still quite comfortable. I've been wearing them over a month now, and no sign of a squeak.
