Are your new boots nice to look at but very very uncomfortable? Let’s save you from the pain! Here, we will share 6 ways to break in your boots/shoes and make them more wearable and comfortable for yourself.
1.Thick Socks
An easy way to break in your boots is to wear thick socks and step into the boots. Doing so will loosen the leather from the inside and mold the boot according to your foot shape. After the boots loosen up, they will provide you with proper comfort and grip.
2. Use An At-Home Shoe Stretcher
The job of the shoe stretcher system is to break into the shoes gradually lengthwise and widthwise. It’ s best to use shoe spray (conditioner, oil or cream) to prevent the leather from cracking.
3. Go To A Shoe Mender Or Cobbler
Find professional help at a shoe repair store offering shoe stretching. Spend some time choosing the right cobbler via reviews because shoe stretching gives a permanent result – and you don’t want irreversible damage on your favorite pair of shoes.
4. Wear Them Around The House
Before wearing your shoes to work or outside, spend a few minutes a day wearing your boots around your home to allow them to break in. Even on a busy schedule, sparing 10 minutes is possible.
5. Apply Leather Conditioner, Cream Or Oil
Before applying anything on your shoes, you need to take into account the leather type of your boots/shoes and conditioner compatibility to avoid damage. Applying moisture to leather allows it to bend and stretch, therefore allowing your boots to break into.
6. The “Hairdryer + Thick Socks ” Trick
Along with the 1st method, you can use a hairdryer on the boots when wearing them along with thick socks. However, be very cautious! You should only do this for a few seconds (5-10 seconds) and ensure that the hairdryer is set on a mild setting. If you apply excessive heat to the leather, you can end up damaging it.
Once the boots cool down, you have to remove your feet from them, wear regular socks and try to wear them. If they are comfortable, they are ready for use.
Overall, breaking into your boots or shoes is not that much of a difficult task. Using the guide above, you can easily choose one of the methods which are most convenient for you.
