New shoe break-in

[overheadx2]

Just bought some new Asolo Fugitives for the up coming season. I have always just worn them to break them in. Any one have any secrets to a faster break in period. I'm not apposed to the old fashioned approach, I just assumed some one has some secret. Thanks, Phil

I have heard people trying to soak boots and other unorthodox ways
to break them in, but nothing beat old fashion, true and tried way of
breaking them in.

Way back when boots were leather,
I remember the words of my old gear guru -
"Stand in water and get them wet -
wear until dry - all day.
This way, the boots will only hurt for that one day."

When I get a new pair of all leather work boots, I run them over with my truck a couple times. It works great! Getting them wet works good too, except it can be painful.

I recently got a really nice pair of work boots....supposed to be "pre broken in" They weren't....but running them over sure did the trick!

Learned this in the military...put them on, take a shower, wear until dry. Ive done this for every pair of boots for the past 25 years
