@Steffen I'll do it.

@Filthy:
Next I am thinking about drilling into the inside sole with a fine drill bit and injecting a small about of boot oil in there.
I like this idea @Filthy . I suppose the most likely offending spot ought to be where the sole flexes right? Where the ball of the foot falls. Please share pics and your results.
I ordered some of these so I can try it.
Edit: to answer your question, it seems like the squeak is located here:

Great sleuth work @Filthy . I look forward to your results.

Mike, i had a pair of lizard boots that were so LOUD i was asked to not wear them to work. I did everything including sending them back to Luchesse for warranty work to no avail. Ended up selling them. In my case. I think it was either the stitching. Which was redone by Luchesse or nails that were the culprit, tho im not a cobbler.
Feel yer pain. Hopefully the botox injections will fix it for you. Else the Vibergs will have added plumpness. Lol.

Yeah, was thinking it could be a nail too. I might oil the inside sole and drill next to the nail in that spot and see what happens. I have a friend in TSA and I might see if see would take a pic of the xray and text it to me so I can see exactly where all the nails are….

Has anyone repurposed older, worn-in jeans (or crunchy new new) for cycling or heavy-duty hiking/higher exertion activities? Anyone done that with either 21oz or something lighter like the 14oz denim? I commute a lot by bike and used to do so in some IH-301S, but then had to peel those damn things off by EOD. Mighta had to do a lot with the fact that they were skin tight lol

I basically live in my newest pair and do almost everything in them. But like swimming and bathing, and I can't wear them at work unless I want to wear them under FR coveralls (and die of heat exhaustion from the waist down)

Is there any harm in climbing under my truck and finding places like this and cleaning them off with like a brass brush and applying some Naval Jelly? My last truck was swiss cheese from rust after 10 years… like almost completely rotted away.
I just gave my truck a good wash and it feels good to know that winter seems to be over.

I was wondering why the tag feature sometimes results in a “red” tag that sends a notification, and sometimes a “grey” tag that just says “mention” and sends no notification?
I originally thought that it was because members were not waiting for the pop up box to appear and just typing “@….”, but this is what it looks like
Proper tag: @Giles
Improper tag: @gilesSo I don’t know why some members like @Brock always have the [mention] next to the name.
-
That's from people using the tapatalk app and it happens if they tag you but you're using a different browser.

Brilliant @Filthy That makes sense. Thanks for the smartness

I pretty much only use the Tapatalk app… do my tags send you a notification?

No sir, they don’t. I’ve been wondering about it for a while now, finally got the nerve to ask why. I always use the “desktop” forum, and I’ve never used tapatalk, so now it all makes sense.
-
Huh. That’s weird and annoying.. I always use this to tag people..
Does anyone know of a way to get a “red tag” with Tapatalk??

@Brock just type @ on the keyboard and start typing their name and a list will appear and you can pick their name from the list
Edit: I am using Google Chrome and the site works beautifully. There's no need for another app imho.

Ok. I might need to start using a different platform. Tapatalk is just so easy for me on my phone. I never sit down in front of a computer…
