i have no clue what you're talking about "insole in slipping". Just crazy glue or shoe goo.

Is there a way to stop shoes from squeaking? My Jeter Clutches are squeaking constantly every time I move... during a game or just plain ole walking. I alreadyam using baby powder, except it lasts only for about one day. I would be lucky if it lasts for barely two days. Any suggests that lasts longer? Thanks guys.

Oh, and I stopped caring about creases. It's pointless. Force fields still allow creasing (proven by a couple friends). Just stating that as a last replyto my first question on that questions concerning the creases.

Thanks again.

If you could read correctly, I asked what paint I should use, not what COLOR. Read before you make stupid comments.

Dang, paint chipping already on those Burgundy V's? Talk about quality. You can always try mixing colors. You have to experiment in order to find the rightexact color.

Edit: Had a squeaky problem, now fixed. ignore this post haha.

you need more than one application to see big improvement. takes about 3 days to see a big change in the clear sole with a 3-4 hour session of applyingseaglow.

alot of good info in here.

 

[electricladyland18]

damn those r gross

Question: i have a pair of IV's White/Green with some yellowing to the mesh. other than that, they look really nice and wearable. Would barkeepers be thebest product for me to use solely on the mesh? pretty impressive results on the xi's from what i've seen so i think it might work... any opinions help,especially if they're first hand

 

[dolla billz8919]

Wow now I'm super hesitant to wear my VIs.
Basically I bought a pair of DS Infrared VIs over the weekend from a reliable person with a massive sneaker collection and he told me that he doesn't storehis shoes with silica or in bags, but rather just shoves his shoes in closets around his house. He says that he doesn't see why I can't wear them buthe didn't give me a definite answer, so I'm sort of lost at this point. I bought them so I could wear them but I don't want to throw all the moneyI spent on these in the garbage after a few steps. I took a pair of my Carmines and compared it to the Infrared VIs. Basically I was just feeling the midsoleand squishing it with my thumb and middle finger feeling how firm it is. From what I recall there was not much difference, but still I would like to know ifthere's anything that I should be looking out for, signs, that it might crack. There's no yellowing at all, and the air units are clear, not foggy. Ido realize, from personal and friends experience that the black paint on the heels will crack but it's inevitable, what I'm mostly concenred about isthe actual midsole cracking.

So if any of you experts could enlighten me on any signs that I should be looking out for, like how the midsole should feel if it's at the stage whereit's going to crack, or if there's nothing I can do other than take that leap of faith...

*gulp*

Thanks in advance, Billy.
