hi all.
does any one have a pair? if you do, do yours squeek? if yes have you done any thing to SHUT THEM UP!!!THEY DRIVE ME MAD!!.i contacted alpine cservices and the answer was....

"What you are hearing is the p/u ankle guard
rubbing against
The leather material. Because of all the protection in the ankle area of
these boots
You will hear them squeak. These are competition boots made for the track.

Some people like to use these boots on an everyday bases. What you can do to
quite the
Squeaking down a little is to take some sand paper and rub behind the
rounded part
Of the ankle protector. (Behind the rivet) This should quiet your boots down
a little."

i'm not happy with sanding down my new boots. any sugestions???

a spray of wd40 in the areas where it squeaks should sort it, atleast it does for the sidi's.

Use some silicone based spray, or Furniture polish on them and they'll stop squeaking. My SMX3's squeak, a quick spray of my sheen on the heel /ankle hinge thingy stops them.
