Default Breaking in Jungle boots

So I have a pair of jungle boots that need breaking in.

Any advice?

They hurt like hell right now, especially the instep.

Fill the bath with some water and soak the boots in the water for a while then walk in them while they are wet,if that doesnt work for you, put some baby oil on them as it softens the leather, thats from my husband who is in the army so it should work coz he does it

I have heard this from a few people now. I think it deserves a try =)

Thanks!

That one with putting 'em in water works though. Works best if you keep on walking till they're dried out a bit. Then let them dry completely, and re-proof them.

Yup it does work, it works best as said if you keep em on till they have dried out abit. Then wear them at every opertunity, and clock up the miles.
