I agree, superstars aren’t really comfortable for me but they are doable for short periods. I wear them with socks that show too, like a dork, to help with the skin rubbing!! The leather is just not soft unless you really break them in hard. I haven’t even gotten there after a year of wear. The width is pretty good for me as someone with wide feet though. That’s their saving grace for me.

i have a pair of gg superstar clean all white, and while i love the clean and unworn look of them - i'm never comfortable wearing them now, because of just that - they are so clean and nice, any smudge would take away from this look. BUT the real reason i never wear them? they squeak like crazy, and nothing has fixed it. it's embarrassing.

How do they squeak? None of mine make noise.

these ones are not meant to look worn, they are meant to look more pristine, which makes me wish i got one of the pre-worn ones to remove this anxiety! lol

As for the squeak, it's when i walk, there is a squeak (i guess the leather rubbing?) i contacted GG and they suggested i put baby powder in between the sole, but it didn't really work. Maybe i need to wear them more and the squeaking will go away?

OMG that squeaking LOL. I thought you were talking about squeaking when the arch of your foot doesn't quite align with the sole of the shoe (happens to me all the time with some shoes) but this sounds like the shoe leather is just squeaking from rubbing on itself??

It's REALLLLLY odd, I have 6 pairs and none make any noise. I was thinking those hard insoles must be rubbing. . . I'd put new ones in but that wouldn't help?

I'm sorry, I totally LOL'd at the sounds!!! But I'm so sorry!!
