I've just put my boots on and had a bit of a stomp about in them to check all's OK for VT and they are suddenly really squeaky! Has anyone else got this problem?
Any good tips?
I'd taken the inners out after last trip to dry them all out. Could that be it?

Squeaky clean, or just squeaky?

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

depending on the model it is probably plastic agaist plastic, you could try spraying a bit of silicon lube spray (not WD40 as it contains oil) between the clog (lower part of the boot) and cuff (upper part ) where they join around the ankle, do this with the liners out so you do not cover them in spray
it used to be said that they stopped skeaking when you paid for them!!

Mr Sheen (or similar household spray polish) can normally do the job well.
(anyone remember spraying it on your Rubic Cube to make it move more smoothly?)

SMALLZOOKEEPER, What about Zipfit's did we get an answer?

You know it makes sense.

boredsurfin, The answer is a little long. A brief version, also coming from someone whom has worn Z-Fit for 4 seasons and loves them,is, don't buy them, it's a kop out for bootfitters and the quality is highly variable. I been credited for all my stock and told i may keep all the stock. Should you really want a pair it will cost you a return ticket on Easy-Jet.

SkiBod, don't use loads of it, just spray a little in, and see how it works.
