I've recently ordered a pair of leather boots and have started the break-in process. As many of you might relate, the initial wear around the house has led to some discomfort, reminiscent of past experiences with new leather footwear. I'm curious to learn from the community here - how do you approach the break-in period for new leather boots? Are there any particular methods or care tips that you've found effective in reducing discomfort and ensuring a proper fit over time? I'm eager to hear your stories and any advice you might have. Additionally, for those who've been through this journey, how long did it take before your boots felt perfectly molded to your feet?

Use leather conditioner to soften them. It usually takes a few weeks of consistent wear for a good fit.

I remember breaking in my leather boots by wearing them around the house with thicker socks. It took a few weeks for them to fully mold to my feet. Hang in there, it's worth it!

Breaking in leather boots can be tough, but it's worth it! I found using a leather conditioner and gradually increasing wear time helped. Hang in there, it gets better!
