hey all...a bit of a picky/stupid question, but it's mostly out of curiosity.

just got a pair of boots with a steel shank and dainite sole (the peal & co. for bb if it matters)...and literally on the first day wearing them out (in rain), i'm noticing that the right boot is squeaking near the ball of my foot as i lift weight off of it. it's not coming from the sole...more in between the outsole and insole.

i've only experienced something like this once before...and it was on a pair of wolverine 1ks that i beat to shit for over 2 years. i was told upon resoling that it was damage to the shank...yet somehow, i would like to believe that a pair of brand new boots would not be having this problem. Nor am i noticing any structural deficit...and....they're brand new.

anybody have any suggestions as to what this might be? or experienced a similar annoyance? or can say if it just goes away with time? the squeaking in my wolverine's never went away until i got it repaired...it just got worse.

thanks in advance
