Probably a couple of layers rubbing against each other, you need to get some
lubricant between the layers. How to get in there is your job to figure out,
but sometimes the inner sole (where your foot stands on inside the shoe) can
be removed and then you can access the sole and possibly get something into
it. I would avoid using WD40.

Sometimes wet lube doesn't work. You
should dose them generously with powdered
graphite.

That's easy.

Everyone here knows the answer.

If WD40 doesn't fix the problem,
then duct tape is the answer.

And don't forget... nothing says quality like wrinkle free duct tape!

Or glue. If the parts can't move they can't squeak either.

I don't know if this will help, but I just fixed a pair of squeaky Nike Air
Monarch sneakers. This sneakers are known to have an issue with squeaking
after a year or two - DAGS.

The fix is to pull out the inner pad to expose the canvas bottom that is
stitched into the sneaker. You then cut the canvas lining just inside the
stitching to expose the rubber webbing underneath. Sprinkle some baby
powder on the webbing, lay the canvas back on top and put the inner pad
back in.

No more squeak.

Super glue.
