take em out of the box

Vasaline,sportwax, what about KY jelly?

Seriously, as said by others, the squeaking is usually caused by the laces rubbing against the leather. If lube doesn't work try roughening the area of the tongue where the laces are rubbing with glasspaper. Take the laces out and you will see the polished areas where the laces are rubbing.

any leather soap or mink oil

 

[cocker]

Mink oil cant beat it for water proofing boots

 

[saddler]

Ko-Cho-Line is good



If you use Mink Oil I like the paste version better, seems to soak in much faster

I use the Fiebings brand stuff as its easy to source over here

Ever noticed how wet boots don't squeak

Another vote for Meindl sport wax. The best product out there.

Meindl sport wax a poor substitute to the tins of Nikwax.

But whichever you use never wait until the boot looks like it needs it keep the leather topped up and supple.

If the harder waxes are not working you could try something softer like Neatsfoot oil or lanolin. You can get lanolin B.P. at the chemist or Hydrolan or Flexolan from a saddler

 

[Monkey Spanker]

Are they Mouflons by any chance? If so, you will NEVER stop them squeaking!!!!!

I use sno seal. But when I get my act together I`ll be nipping up to Saddlers for that Ko Chi Line stuff.

Go easy on that "stuff" or you'll be slipping through the heather like a snake dipped in Super Lube!

Try taking the laces off and give them a good wax (sports wax is good)
Stops the issue if its lace related !
