Birkenstock Boston - Suede

Squeaking can sometimes occur with new shoes or if there's moisture. Ensure your feet are dry. If it persists, try sprinkling a small amount of talcum powder under the footbed lining (if removable, though Boston's aren't) or check for any loose components, though this is rare with Birkenstocks.
