Extreme,I have the same model boots,the squeek will never go away,mine have done that since breakin.people donn't notice you have an odd shoe on till they hear the noise and look down.Gotta wear a thick sock or at least one that will stay up,they will rub against your leg at the top of the boot,granted I usually wear leathers with them but if you donn't at least tuck your jeans into them it gets old quick.Great review though and right on par with that boot.
