Aggravated By Squeaks

My comfortable shoes are full of squeaks. An unrelenting sound I can't possibly ignore, Like an old wooden rocking chair that creaks Or noisy wet sneakers on a tile floor. It's quite loud and not only noticed by me, eek! I've tried tip-toeing but it's causing footsore. I'm aggravated beyond belief with these squeaks.
