I got a new pair of Sidi ST Goretex and they squeak like f**k when i walk. My old Sidis had a squeak too, though not as loud. On the old ones I used WD40 and that stopped the noise. Does  anyone know if it will be ok to use WD40 on the Goretex ones or has anyone any other product recomendations ? I read somewhere to use Mr Sheen. Cheers.  :shocked:

Are you sure it's not your feet squeaking?  ;)

I've just bought the same and they are totally quiet, and my old Sidi's were too.... Odd!

Maybe a silicon lubricant would be better/safer than WD40? The Gore-tex website suggests that cleaning/treating products for the non-waterproof outer materials won't harm the Gore-tex fabric.

I like the squeaking. I just tell people it's my knees...usually raises a smile.

Surely the Goretex lining is on the inside of the boot so anything applied to the outside as long as it isn't excessive won't matter? I can't see a little squirt of anything affecting the lining.

I've went down the Mr Sheen route. Will report back later with results.
