Creaking noise from shoe/pedal

I have Shimano SPD road pedal with iQ ATB shoes. After less 100 miles, first
the left and now both shoes started to make a creaking noise. (The noise
resembles the noise of walking in very cold snow.) I have made sure that the
cleats are properly attached to the shoes and that there is nothing loose on
the pedals. I tried greasing the cleats, with little success.

Any ideas for how to eliminate that annoying noise ?

Thanks, Bengt.

Are you sure that its the cleats and not the bottom bracket?

It may be the pedal rubbing on the sole just under (above) the cleat, try
lubricating the plastic there.

Pretty sure, I rode the bike with regular sneakers (not recommended on those
pedals) and the noise went away.

Good idea. I'll give it a try.
Thanks, Bengt.

Just in case anybody encounters the same problem:
It turned out to be cleat. I removed the cleat, greased the screws and the
cleat where it touches the shoe.
Now everything is nice and quiet again.
