We're on our 4th pair- I think. I'm losing count.
I have a story for you, too. People ask me if (the squeaker) gets annoying and I tell them it just took one time of losing him and I'll never be annoyed again. We took the squeakers out of the sandals for church, and hadn't put them back in by lunch. I was refilling my drink, and he was right behind me- so I thought. When I turned around, he was gone, and my husband didn't have him! ... Luckily, it turns out he was in the kitchen- not good either, but it wouldn't have happened if he had worn the squeakers!

We recently looked at shoes at the department store and he pushed them all away when he saw they won't squeak. Thank you
