Stopping squeaky boots

[dimsum]

How does one stop the "squeak" when you move around in the boots?

My older Aircrew boots and my new TCB squeak whenever I move my feet (not just when I walk) and while I'm sure it doesn't affect flight safety, it might if someone on the crew punches me out for it being too annoying.

LOL! Man, glad to see it just isn't me!
I've had at least 3 or 4 pair of ankles boots over the years since 1982: and each & every pair squeaked. I've turned some in for new ones; tried soaking 'em; etc;
I've had no problems with combat boots; CF shoes; jump boots; kortex boots; desert boots; etc. Learned to live with my squeaky ankle boots. But there's no problem in hearing me walking up the hallway at the unit.  ;D

My 1st pair of the AF CWWBs squeaked every move I made.  Honestly, I took them back to supply and said "I can't wear these and the people I work with are starting to get annoyed at the constant noise".  I thought it was the sole breaking in until I walked on some grass on the way to NERT and...squeak squeak squeak.  I went to Supply the next day with them.  They were reluctant at first until I said "well, I'll make it simple..exchange them, or I'll just return them.  I won't wear these again."

I got new ones, no squeaks in either pair of my CWWBs or my initial pair of TCBs.
