These shoes appear to have a manufacturing defect and were not properly glued which allowed the upper to move freely within the shoe, causing them to constantly squeak when worn. I can't report on that, so I'm writing this review to hopefully get a response from Amazon or someone else. I would appreciate a replacement or refund but these shoes were less than 4 months old when this problem started without asking for help according to ebay but I don't want to accept this and want something done! I hope someone responds positively with some solutions to this problem!
