3 tricks to help break in your boots faster

New boots giving you trouble? These are my three favorite tricks to use when breaking in a new pair of boots.

A good tip is to wear wool or thick cotton socks, etc. It just helps your feet and provides a layer between you and the leather

If you workout at home, wearing new boots while lifting weights (Squats, deadlifting, etc) really helped break in my new boots

Mole skins patches are good to prevent blisters. School shoes used to be all leather and all these tips came in handy.

Wear your shoes around the house for a few hours each day for a few weeks before taking them out all day long. Alternatively take your old shoes with you when you first go out just incase the breaking becomes too much and change over when uncomfortable.

You can also use a pad to stick onto the heel area to keep the back of your foot from rubbing raw. Also remember to wear thicker socks always or double up your socks.

Just wear your boots people. It ain't that bad. I've been wearing my new pair for a week now and they are fine. My old military boots were harder to break in.

I love breaking in them in by wearing them.

Of you really want to break in the outer leather just use a blow dryer with mink oil and then put them on. Preheated, soft, and hydrated leather its 2ez

Today I wore my RW9060s for the first time. They really hurt my upper ankles. I had to stop by a pharmacy to buy a roll of rigid tape and wrapped around the areas where the boot collars rubbed against the upper ankles and this helped a lot. Four layers were good enough.

I just stumbled onto your channel a few days ago and I have been watching the videos like crazy. You are an expert but wouldn't it be better to break the boots in by wearing them so that they mold to your feet better?

Any recommendations for boots with tough heals? I've worn these new boots twice in the house for about 8 hours on two different weekends, but my heals are getting bruised(not blistering) from the heal pressure.

Wingshooters fit perfectly right out the box

What brand are the boots you use for this demo? 🤔
The look nice.

No tricks to break in boots, you have to go through the entire beautiful and painful process of naturally breaking it in with your feet. The more hours and days invested the sooner youl break them in and mold them to your feet.

I don’t get the blisters part. Are my feet suppose to blister? On day 3 of wearing my new iron rangers and except for the usually work fatigue I feel in my feet at the end day, I have zero complaints or pains

[ClaudeRains]

Nice Boots …what brand are they in your hand ?

[paulworsdale]

Or…..just buy boots that are comfortable out the box. I’m done with breaking boots in. It’s 2025 you should be able to wear boots straight away in comfort. Like Danner, Thorogood, and Thursdays. I’m done with red wings etc because I like my skin to remain on my feet.

[JohnWazowski]

am I the only one who finds my boots comfortable even when they're not broken in?

spraying your socks it is optional or let the fungus to sprout.
