Squeaky Boots
Q. My Berghaus walking boots have been squeaking for a while and it is embarrassing and frustrating.
Does anyone have any ideas about how to prevent the noise?
The boots are good and I don't want or need to ditch them just yet.

A. If your boots are full grain leather try waxing the inside of the tongue and the liner where the tongue touches.
Sometimes where two pieces of leather are rubbing it causes a squeak.
If it's not that it could be that your mid sole has worked itself loose a bit. If it has this you will need to get your boots resoled.
Hope this helped.

A. Hello! I had the same problem with a pair of boots.
Unfortunately, it was that the sole had 'broken' irretrievably, first on one boot then on both, and when I went to check this out at a good outdoors /boots shop, they told me this can be common with some makes - apparently using cheaper soles and lasts for some models of their boots, (even if the boots themselves were expensive!).
I had to get new boots . . . this time recommended Meindel, and no problem!!
Hope this may be of some help!

A. Yep my squeaky Berghaus boots drive my wife mad, but fortunately I'm blessed by being partly deaf at just about the right frequency!!!
