Creaky Road Shoe

[love2fly]

I've got a nice pair of Lake carbon soled road shoes but the uppers tend to "creak", especially when cold - any ideas what I can use?

It's especially around the tongue area but it's most of that part of the upper.

I've been told it's Kangaroo leather .....and the fasteners are Boa and a Velcro strap ..

I have in the past tried a car seat leather product and a bit of Mr Min which has Silicone in...

Dubbin Leather Care.

Available from Green Cross Shops.

Good for Saddles and all Leather Goods.

But If it's the Carbon that Creaks It won't help.

Hopefully it’s not contagious 🫣

 

@love2fly have you ever cleaned it?

squeak may be from dust/gunk between the leather of the tongue vs shoe.

I the dubbin as previously suggested sounds the trick, takealot has for R45 so maybe add to your cart and include with your next purchase.

Yip, as I said I've tried Mr Min and leather seat cream, and first wiped with a damp cloth ..
