New boots hurt

[sasquatchbob]

Have bought so many new boots like haix arbtex etc and all hurt trying to break them in as have a perm injury so any boots i buy end up on fleabay and someone gets a good deal. bought used boots on same site and they felt comfy and as I only do the odd volounteer job in domestic settings I dont need anything up to health n safety standard so if your getting a new pair of boots keep me in mind guys and send a pm , doing each other a big favour, roughly a 12 or 13, prefer leather high leg as more comfy and  leather softens up more than goretex etc,  live in lanarkshire, cheers

Every ones feet are different so i would get a new decent pair and try them before buying or maybe a short legged wellies

You can by army surplus pre worn boots . I bought a pair of German army boots once that were perfectly broken in ( still have them as it goes ) . really comfy .

Simple solution fr new boots. Have a bath- chuck yr boots in after n leave to soak.  Put them on in the morning with carrier bags over yr socks n wear em till dry. Like buckskin k

I have heard an alternative ‘squaddie’ technique of filling said boots with piss, leaving overnight then carry on as Kriss 

says, works a treat apparently, although you do stink of piss..,

Its an old army trick Mr Stubby. Used it on the old Stihl Brown boot. Like a glove afterwards. K

Thats on the old leather Army boot as they sat in Storage s fr years n dryed out. Urea is the tanners friend for leather. Dont think its good idea on new forestry boots tday! K
