Alright, this is starting to get pretty annoying. I've never had this problem before with Foamposites, or really any Nike product, until just recently.
My Pearl Pros started squeaking something terrible not too long after I got them last year. Very similar to the Pewters someone posted a video of. I can't really figure out exactly what is causing the squeaks, I've tried the baby-powder-under-insole method to no avail. It seems to be coming from the actual sole of the shoes, because when I put pressure on a certain point with my fingers, it makes the exact sound. It's only the left shoe, but it's annoying, and I can actually feel it when I walk.
Now, today, my 2011 Royals seem to be starting to do the same thing, on both shoes. I couldn't be more frustrated. When you're paying the premium prices that Foamposites retail for, this is totally unacceptable.
What gives? I know ever since they started producing Foams in China instead of Taiwan, the quality took a major hit, but like I said, I've never experienced anything like this until now. Is it an issue with the Zoom Air? Are the soles not glued down thoroughly (I really doubt it, there's a lot)? Is there any way to fix/minimize the issue? I know I'm not the only one who has run into this issue, so any help, info, or advice would be appreciated. Thanks guys.
