Comfort for the feet vs comfort for the ears
My shoes squeek. Wait, that's not quite accurate. My most comfortable shoes squeek.
For some reason it's much worse on carpet than on hard surfaces (concrete, tile or hardwood floors). But nonetheless, for the places I'm walking most of the day - they squeek.
This would be a serious problem if I was a cat burglar, but fortunately I work with computers instead so it's only just really annoying. But still, what do you do? Do keep the shoes because they're the best you own? Do you replace them with another pair of the same hoping it was a flaw of this particular pair and not a flaw in the design? Or do you just suck it up and get annoyed when you walk on carpet?
So far, I've stuck with the last option. Maybe it'll be like living next to a train where eventually you don't even notice it anymore.
