quiet shoes

anything with a rubber sole should work. i know a lot of kenneth cole reaction shoes have rubber soles (like the wedges i have on today!)...

and i know what you mean - i don't work in a library, but i must walk hard or something, because i make a ton of noise when i have on "clicky" shoes.

Is it the hard soles of the shoes agains non-carpeted floors that create the noise? If so, you could take a few of the shoes you wear most to the cobbler and have him put a rubber protective/cushiony/noise-reducing sole on the bottom. I had that done on a pair of boots for $20, which included a polishing and waterproofing. You might get it done for cheaper too. That would be cheaper than buying new shoes.

Seychelles were created for people like you. A lot of the styles have rubber soles. Also, I second alb's Kenneth Cole Reaction rec.

I was thinking of Seychelles wedges.

zeitgeist4 thanks for the tip about getting rubber soles! I'll definitely have to try that.

i asked this same question and people ignored my post.

but my question, do you think a cobbler could add rubber to the bottom of some of my shoes? i hate that heel noise too.
