Ha. i would rather not soak a pair of £120 boot's in waste oil. which sort is 3 in 1 oil. I was thinking either WD40 or copper grease.

More seriously i use a leather waterproofing treatment called Nikwax if you could work that into the affected area it may help, you can get it from Trago mills ,busters , some bike shops, shoe shops etc there is also a number of spray on products they make, visit there website, http://www.nikwax.com/en-us/index.php

seems to be common with OXTAR boots, i bought mine in December used some spray grease on em and it cured one but not the other. Seems to be the pivot on the back of the heel on mine
