    I've got a pair of whites that have the Vibram 430 Mini Vib sole. They didn't make any sounds exept the usual stomping of heavy boots while walking.

    But after a view month they started to squeak while walking. First it was only on the carpet in the office, but now it even squeaks on pavement (or better said on anything exept grass or dirt). It drives me crazy. I own a pair of well made boots that didn't come cheap and sound like some 3,00 € beach slippers when I walk.  😞

    Has anyone had simmilar experience with the 430 Mini Vib sole or an idea how to get rid of that damn squeaking when I walk. I would be thankfull for any imput.

        Nope, not me, Jeff.  But you're right, I remember someone here had that issue, too.  I just can't remember who it was.

          I had an annoying heel squeak on one of my boots recently, cured it by letting boots dry fully, then applying a coat of Obanauf LP to the heel and melting it with a hair drier, worked a treat for me! The squeak was only when they were wet though, so I assume moisture was getting between one of the lifts a bit and the wax has just plugged it up, but for how long who knows.

                  There was someone else as well, I kinda remember it as well.

                  I think it should just dissolve itself over a few weeks. Bit of talc won't hurt on the sole IMO. Usually good to stop squeaks.
