There is a sound of air leaking from the soles when walking

We all know that everything has a running-in period, just like a new car needs to be driven frequently to run in. In fact, it is the same with wearing shoes. When you buy a pair of new shoes, you may not feel particularly comfortable to wear them, but after wearing them for a period of time, the wear-in period will pass and you will feel very comfortable. So, sometimes you find that there is a leaking sound from the soles when you walk. What's going on?

After wearing some of the shoes we bought, we found that the soles of the shoes made farting sounds when we walked, which was the noise of gas being discharged. What is going on?

Why do shoes make a sound when walking?

1. The soles of the shoes you bought are hollow.

2. The sole of the shoe has a small hole due to wear or other reasons.

3. When you step on the shoes, the air in the hollow part is quickly compressed out from the small holes, and a puffing sound of exhaust will be heard.

What to do if your shoes make a sound when walking

Small holes worn out in the soles of shoes are generally difficult to repair, and even if they are repaired elsewhere, they may soon be worn out again. It is best to make the worn-out hole a little bigger artificially, or find a way to fill the air inside. It is simpler and more convenient to make the small hole bigger. In this way, the pressure of the air expelled by the foot will be reduced, and the sound will become smaller or even disappear.

Things to note when buying shoes

1. When buying shoes in a physical store, you should wear them and walk around. This way you can immediately know whether the shoes are comfortable or if there are any problems. For example, if the shoes make noises when walking, you can find out by trying them out.

2. If you buy online, it is recommended that you do not cut off the label immediately after purchase. Try it on first. If there is any noise when walking, replace it immediately. If you return the product due to product problems, the merchant will pay the postage for you.

3. When buying shoes, try not to buy foam or plastic ones, as they are more likely to be hollow inside. It is best to buy well-known brands. Many shoes from well-known brands are not very expensive now.
