The 574 model is known to run small. Consider ordering a half or full size up from your usual size for a more comfortable fit. If already purchased, ensure they are unworn and check the return/exchange policy.
Squeaking noise from shoes.
This can sometimes occur due to friction between the insole and the shoe base. Try removing the insole, checking for debris, and reinserting it. A small amount of talcum powder under the insole might also help.
