I bought these 719 veg tans about 6 months ago and have absolutely loved them until they started squeaking a few weeks ago. I spent a lot of time wearing them in harsh field conditions, below freezing temps, stream crossings, and lot of steep climbing so they did get pretty dried out. I oiled them a few days ago thinking it might help but it doesn’t seem like it made much of a difference. They still function fine, it’s just really annoying and it makes me think twice about wearing them now. I’m not very experienced with full leather boots so any tips to minimize the noise would be appreciated.
