How to break in combat boots?

I've done that a couple of times as well, it's a good method if you need to break them in fast, but the "good old fashioned" way of just walking enough in them is still the best.. :smil:

Ah yes, you know them by heart! :roll:
When they're getting comfortable on your feet, they're on the verge of breaking up and you'd better get ready for a new pair... :mrgreen:

The good old fashioned way is more than good enough, but it still requires generous amounts of lubrication and shine in order to soften and preserve them.

Hmm, I must have marched through my 7th. pair of boots by now. :-D
 
I have two pair of combat boots for 4 Years now and still got no problems but they are beginning to lose their sole so i'll take them to a shoemaker to get a new sole, that way i'm avoiding to wear in new shoes ;)
 
Our boots were likely to be made by the lowest bidder. After a few months the leather started to wear away big time.
 
Breaking in boots

One of my AIs told me to run in them a lot and take a shower in them to break them in. (we have leather/canvas boots). Hope this helps.
