How do I stop my boots squeaking?

My brown leather Timberland boots (not the sand boot style more of a 'hiking boot') squeak like crazy when I walk. I feel like an idiot. What can I do to stop it?

How do I stop my boots squeaking?
have they been polished as this softens the leather and stop them from squeaking
Reply:There is a saying that shoes squeak when they haven't been paid for?? Not sure where that came from. I'd suggest using a good wax polish to soften them up.
Reply:lol just keep squeaking
Reply:put some oil on them.

Reply:In cartoons, the character usually pulls out a can of oil, and 'puttt, putt' the creaking is gone. Usually boots creak because of the stiffness of the leather. Try using some silicone wax to soften it. Don't use natural wax that can harden when cold and only make it worse. Check also the eyelets to see if there is any friction that may be causing the squeaking. Wax those as well.
Reply:1) get new boots





2) it might be the type of rubber used





3) even the type of ground you walk on e.g. laminated flooring??





4) Remove the insole





5) Pour some baby powder inside the shoe, then put the insole back in the shoe





6) if you step differently they may stop the squeaking





7) if the shoe is new it will squeek a bit





8) or they might just need broken in (worn more)





9) don't do any thing about it if you like the shoes
