I have the exact same pair, and the squeaky sound goes away after a week of wear. It’s just a break in period. Most reviews I have seen for shoes are after at least 1 month of wear, and to post a review after 3 days is really unfair to the company. It is honestly one of the best sneakers I have owned for the price point.
We get to try a crapton of sneakers and frankly these were above and beyond the worst in regard to squeaking, even from day one, when others don't have this issue.
@@BALLSOHARDU I think as the guy of this comment said, shoes squeak a lot when they're really new (I don't think that's weird, that's quite normal for leather shoes or even leather jackets I guess too). Once they are broken in, the squeaky sound stops.
I have some white leather sneakers that had a very bad squeaking issue out of the box too. I believe the issue mainly comes from the fact that the tongue leather rubs on the inside of the eyelet leather where the laces are looped. Dr. Martens Wonder Balsam has worked really well with my problem though! I apply a small amount of the balsam so it completely covers the part of the tongue that's in contact with the eyelets, and that usually gets rid of the squeaking. It's by no means a permanent solution though-- I need to reapply the balsam at least once a week to keep the squeaking away (I have no problem with this though, because I love my white leather sneakers). I hope this helps!
I have a pair of black low 1's. I rubbed some venetian leather balm in everywhere. It did the trick for me. I also have a couple pairs of suede low 1's and a pair of GAT's. None of those ever squeaked.
I have these shoes and love them. I sorta remember the squeaky thing being a problem during the break in (maybe first week or so) but they are totally silent now. I feel like giving them a fail for needing to be broken in is not fair but I also love things that last forever and need a bit of break in time like raw denim, redwings boots and wax canvas bags.
No squeaking from my Oliver Cabell shoes. My only problem was the pattern that the laces come in from the box. They were a pain to adjust, so I just took the laces out and put them in the more common way.
I disagree with this review. Imo they are exceptional value for the price. Leather is soft and very comfortable (even right out of the box), design is magnificent and the price is very reasonable for such a great shoe. For me NO NOISES at all! I have worn them for 8 hours straight on the first day. No issues at all! Best sneaker in this price range I ever owned!!!
They are great as an Instagram shoe! But would I wear them as a everyday shoe, Nah. Same for me there :( Can you do a video on TMF:s Essentials clothing line?
I have they’re track pants and navy blue chinos they are great I love them my only negative to the chino is that the pockets are not deep and same for the back pocket also I picks up lint ): other than that they look great feel great quality is good and tailored nicely did a review of the chino on my channel (I’m not a professional TH-camr lol)
the design of these low cut sneakers is mostly the same- symmetric and narrow. i've looked at all these brands and Koio is afaik the only one with a WIDE option on their website (D is regular, E is wide). the New Balance i wear is 10.5 2E and it is perfect for my feet. so i guess a Koio 10 Wide would mold me better after breaking it in.
Got the exact same problem. Those squeeking noise is terrible..you just can't wear them..so annoying! If you have a solution to fix this problem, please tell me :)
I think it really depends on if you wear with socks or sockless/invisible socks. I have a pair of all leather cos, squeaks a bit when I wear with invisible socks after long walks cuz of friction of leather on moisture of my skin, with full length socks no noise.
How do you not know that a shoe with this grade of high quality leather will squeak until you break it in. You literally conducting shoe reviews. This is very common knowledge.
If you order them in america, do you need to pay import tarrifs? Im in Canada and i heard i would need to pay tarrifs if i ordered them, not sure where they ship it from
Hi guys, loving the vid, very informative as always... So I was wondering if the laces on these are leather? when I bought my CP Achilles I bought a separate pair of leather laces with gold tips which I thought would compliment the gold numbering on the rear, side of the heel. but when I walked in them they made this awful creaking sound which was the leather of the laces rubbing on the leather of the shoe holes , so I was wondering could it be the same problem with the Oliver Cabell'? suffice to say I reverted back the cotton laces they came with, although even these I found to be rather short in length so I had to order longer ones. so to reiterate... could it be leather on leather that is causing the creaking sound? Either it's something they need to rectify before I consider going ahead with my purchase, as I have been looking at these as my next "white leather sneaker choice" but not when they sound like that!!!
What do you think of the Jak Shoes royal white? There are no reviews of it online but they look amazing and cost “only” 140€... I wasn’t sure whether the squeaking came from the shoes or the wood floor
I've owned adidas Gazelles that had the squeaking issue but also some that don't... but to have two pairs of different sizes that both did this is bizarre and concerning.
Make an are they worth it on Stance Socks. The most I have used on sock is the Uniqlo sock for $3 or 4 for $10 and got more experience designer socks like Polo Ralph Lauren and Paul Smith that I have got as a gift but is the Stance Socks that cost $15 and is worn by Raper's, NBA all stars and sneakerheads really worth it?
I used the Adidas Smith before it was called the Hallet the great and I mean great French Davis Cup player. This shoe is terrific ! Narrower , the Hallet and for a time the Smith also in a narrow shoe. Great !
Here is a question can you do a video on how pants should fit/tapper in the knee area down and how big should the hole be on bottom of pants that go over your shoes.
My problem with the laces was that they're a pain to adjust with the pattern they come from the box. I took them out and used a common pattern. A world of difference in comfort.
Nice video. Oliver Cabell did not disappoint. On a different note, can you tell me the brand of your denim jacket? Been looking for a good one for a while now
Do you think Grand Frank suede jackets are worth it? Are Ace Marks shoes worth it? Are Esntls (clothing brand) worth it? The world may never know....unless you make a video! Love your content
Great video, was looking at purchasing a pair and this was insightful. Do you think the transparent heel/base one would squeak as equally bad (if different material)?
I have the exact same pair, not only they are squeaky but the most important is they are very uncomfortable!! Every time I'm wearing them I'm getting big blasters on the Achilles part of my foot. So disappointing I love the style but I avoid wearing them
I have a pair, no sound issue at all, not sure what you guys talk about man. I think all high quality leather shoes need certain break in period, u just need to wear your pair a bit more man.
Polish / coating on the floor and the finish on the sole can combine to make them squeak. Its not the leather or the laces. There could also be a sweat / moisture issue causing the squeak internally. Take a light grade of sandpaper to the sole and take off the coating on the sole, plus a quick rub around the inside of the heel cup with a degreaser or light alcohol solution (one of your aftershaves / colognes) may help with your issues. Not really something you should be doing with $180 sneakers, but if you want to enjoy the "pro's" of these shoes, then maybe you should try these fizes. They worked on 2 pairs of Adidas Stan's that I have. Good Luck. Love these sneakers btw, and thanks for another great video.
Great video guys. I was going to purchase Oliver Cabell low 1, but I decided to go with Zespa ZSP4 Sneakers. They're both identical shoes let hope I made the right decision.
I bought two pairs of shoes Nov 29 and still have not received them (7 weeks later); their support basically just lies about when they will be shipped out and stalls. I ask for a refund and they say oh it'll ship out here in just a moment, we can't cancel an order once it goes through. This is either a lie or a design flaw in their setup; cancelling orders in 3PL platforms is very common. Horrible company. I haven't even seen the shoes and I'm so frustrated. Don't buy.
Hey you! Yes, hello Ashley and Dorian 😎 would you please do a video on your views towards Yeezy sneakers and how to style them (or not). That would be great to have in mind some ideas now that summer is by the corner and those sneakers are great for warmer temperatures. Thanks and a lot of warm love for you guys from Puerto Rico!!
The Common Projects are really squeaky too but not as BAD as these. Not sure why. I wear baby powder and it helps alleviate it. I know it's odd but I did it for the CP's and works like a charm. But i've been on the fence with these sneakers with more of their suede collection. I wouldn't buy the leather ones on these (but that's my personal taste).

I own one of these. They are really good and I dont have the squeaking issue.
The squeaking will go away in time. Its also because you're wearing it sockless.

My husband has two pairs and they don’t squeak at all 🤔
Curious, how have your husbands sneakers held up after 2 years? Worthwhile investment?
Squeaking at first two days. But after that, no more. Got the Low 1 Black. Great shoes!
No squeaking from my Oliver Cabell shoes. My only problem was the pattern that the laces come in from the box. They were a pain to adjust, so I just took the laces out and put them in the more common way.
Yup the laces need readjustment but no squeaking from mine low 1 black white sole bought 3 months ago

Best sneaker in this price range I ever owned!!!
may i ask? if my nike and addidas size is 8.5, what size in Oliver Cabell should i take? thanks
I think you need to break it in. So leather soften a little bit, and maybe the squicking will go away. In my opinion. Thanks.
Exactly I think also.
As a Stan Smith wearer that wider toe box is for a wide foot like I have, the price is why I have 2x as many pair. My Adidas don’t squeak.
Can anyone tell me if you could wear these if your feet are slightly wide? Would it be worth it to purchase the wide?
They are great as an Instagram shoe! But would I wear them as a everyday shoe, Nah. Same for me there :(
Can you do a video on TMF:s Essentials clothing line?
Yes, I would like to see that video too Marcus Johansson. 👌

my CP's squeak. I think its the tongue against the outer shoe. Going to try baby powder/felt tape.
Jaylen Fast Try leather lotion instead.
Love your advice. I need a slightly wider sneaker. Any advice on what premium minimalist white sneaker might be a little wider?

Leather stretching and the wax they used is causing the squeaky noise. You need a wider width not a larger size
I recently bought a black pair of Oliver Cabells and they actually don’t squeak at all 🤷🏻♂️
what type of socks do you wear? As flat shoes are they ok for decent amount of city walking? (not running or working out, just walking)
@@superseiyan typically I save them during Spring and Summertime and I wear athletic ankle socks like Adidas and sometimes no show socks
Got the exact same problem. Those squeeking noise is terrible..you just can't wear them..so annoying!
If you have a solution to fix this problem, please tell me :)
Could you do the same with crown northamptown, artisan lab and gustin?
These shoes don't come in half sizes so may be a little more difficult to find an exact fit.
I ordered a pair a few days ago. Now nervous about the squeaking. I hope they dont squeak. I hate that
And????

No problems with my Axel Arigato Clean 90 at a similar price point
Great shoes!
I could hear the squeaking in the video where doesn’t a bunch of ambient noise can you hear the squeaking if there’s a lot of noise around you?
Yes. It's VERY loud in person.
I had a pair of Greats Royale sneakers that also squeaked. I think it's just inherent in a leather lined sneaker build.
The hilarious thing about this is that I was hovering over the 'buy' button on these trainers....only to be told that this video went up. 👌

Dorian, did you try leather lotion on the tongue and under the eyelets to see if that helps with the squeakiness?
Did they even talk about if they’re comfortable?!!
Great video, was looking at purchasing a pair and this was insightful. Do you think the transparent heel/base one would squeak as equally bad (if different material)?
My size is 11 which size should i get
As you mentioned that you tried two different sized shoes and there is nothing wrong with the floor, I suppose it’s time to get ur feet checked 😎
ahahah those damn squeaky feet!
Is it true to size?
So the Stan Smith is still your go to shoes? At least they don't squeak.
Ive been debating these for weeks. Thry seem more affordable than the common projects. Just starting the vid so lets see!

How can these 2 keep comparing this shoe to common project, they are both 2 different type of design? Do they know what they are talking about?

lol the youtuber and viewers are saying the opposite. I have to agree with the viewers, 3 days it not enough for any leather anything to be broken in.
Full grain leather and made in spain; so that's why the price. Did they not pay you for the video? Everyone in comments says they don't squeak.
