    I had that with a pair of Daytona boots. They said it was a fault with the insoles, so sent me another set - cured the problem. If they are new ish, go back to the supplier and get them to sort it out. If older, try taking out the insoles and then glueing them back in

    Get the silicon spray with PTFE, the treatment lasts longer.

    I hate WD40, the smell makes me feel sick so I use GT85. Does all the same stuff, doesn't make you barf. The strange thing is Halfords only keep it with their bicycles (bloody horrid things).

    I'm with you on this one brother. Halford's sometimes sell it half price too.

    Have used Autoglym silicon spray which is great and also WD40. But the silicon spray smells better

    I use wd40 as aftershave when I run out of sex panther.

    It's illegal in 9 countries. Made out of real panther so you know it's good stuff. Works 60% of the time, every time.
