squeaky boots

maree · Jun 10th, 2003, 07:49

I wore my tramping boots to work today (no mountains to climb but a fundraising day for a school in Nepal) and they're so squeaky that you can hear me walking down the hallways. I haven't worn them for probably over a year and I guess I should oil them or something.... does anyone have any product recommendations for me. They are made out of that unshiny leather... but not suede (if you know what I mean)... Salomon Clima Dry might mean something to someone?

ballistol is great...
it s normally used as a weapon oil
but it should work fine

wow...quick reply!! if it's usually used as a weapon oil would I have to get it at a gun shop or would general outdoorsy type retailers have it?
