Squeaking Transitions boots

[Droopy Dick]

I bought a set of the BMW Transition boots last autumn.

They've now got about 30 hours wear. Only light rain, to date.

And they have started to squeak when I walk.

Squeak very loudly. Just like Sidi Vertebrae boots.

Is this normal? Is it correctable? If so, how?

Spray um with WD40!!!!!

cotton bud and silicone dont use wd40 or the like as it rot your stitching

Oh dear, I've been using ACF-50 on mine, will it rot em?

And they have started to squeak when I walk.

Are you wearing them at the time?

Go on the Wales off road course. Mine squeaked (queitly) before and haven't since.

OK, that's a start.

Now where do I apply said lubricant? Which part of the boot, or is it blindingly obvious?

another thing that is good is the chalk out of a bike puncture repair kit...

Worked on my alpinestars.
