They do squeak when they’re wet, but not when dry. I just can talk about mine that camed used with visible sign of installation and for witch the collor appeard visibly altered. The black shiny toe front gives these a bit of winter style. I am normally a size 10 and I ordered a size 10 and they fit perfect! This bar is awesome. With the heat and the rocks, worried they would be destroyed quickly. Excellent quality product easy installation. Fits all my spices, even the larger bottles. I like the style and look of this but found that the toilet roll itself was easily knocked off it, ending up on the floor. These run much narrower and tougher than any other Nike slide Ive ever worn.
