A pair of custom made-for-you Russells are super. Rockport used to make a copy, in moccasin, chukka and 9-inch boot, with a soft Vibram sole and Goretex lined. May still make them, but no one ever stocked them - a terrific shoe for about $200.00.
Cheap solution:
If the squeak is caused by a leather tongue rubbing against the leather collar, just cut off the top part of some thin old dress sock and slide that down over tongue after you put your foot into the boot, then lace it up.
Are your boots Le Chameau 'Mouflons' by any chance? They are reknowned for it and it has been discussed many time before if you do a search!
'Le Squeakies' more like!

My Danner boots are pretty good but I have rubbed beeswax on all the surfaces that can squeak... so maybe the answer is keep your boots and get a bit of beeswax - flytying suppliers sell wee blocks of it.
