squeak (left) squeak (right)...

for some reason, my shoes squeak. they squeak a lot. i'm not sure what it is. it doesn't matter how i walk, which odd way i shift my feet, i can't seem to mitigate the squeaking. what's worse is that these are my favorite shoes and they're so so so comfortable. and they're red! and they make me REALLY tall. i want to wear them all the time. they look like this:

but when i'm on the third floor of the library, like now, and i have to get up to go pick up stuff that i sent to the printer, everybody can hear me coming and going. it's a little embarrassing. and silly. it makes me giggle.
