    Is it plastic parts or the leather? Try some sort of neutral leather cream,worked wonders on my work boots. If it's plastic bits I used some of that meguiars tyre silicone gel on my Sidi boots,just a tiny amount.

    I use the little bottle of silicon they give you with your new lid. Only needs one little application on Sidi's which are shocking squeakers & they're sorted!

    Or..alternatively.......
    You could just put your hands on your hips and in a deep manly voice tell her you'll squeak if you want to & to get on with making your breakfast :D

    A little rub of Sudacreme! Gentle enough for a baby's bum so it won't hurt your boots!
