Breaking in boots

[SeaCat]

Now there are several ways to break in boots but the best is probably the most uncomfortable. (It is also the way I break in all of my boots.)

Find a pair of good quality leather boots that suit you. Find the size that fits you best then buy a pair half a size smaller. While you are doing this buy some Mink Oil.

Toss these boots in a tub of water so the water covers them completely. You want the water inside and out. Let them sit in the water overnight.

The next morning cover your feet liberaly with something like cold cream then pull on a thin pair of socks. Stuff your feet into the too tight pair off boots.

Now wear the boots all day. I'm talking do your usual. Walk in them as much as possible. (The more you walk the better off you are.) Do not take them off during the day. This causes the wet leather to stretch and conform to your feet. Only take them off in the evening when the water has sweated out and the leather has stretched.

When you take the boots off wash your feet and dry them well. If you have foot powder apply it. Then hit the boots with a nice heavy coating of the Mink Oil, or failing this a good shoe polish. (This keeps the leather from drying out completely and cracking.)

Your boots will now fit your feet like a good pair of moccasins. They will be more comfortable than slippers.

The alternative is to have the boots built to your feet by Russell Moccasins. It will cost a lot and the wait is currently running four months. However, I've worn a pair of Russells every working day for so long that my specifications were discarded under their 10 year policy. That's right, the same pairs of shoes for over ten years. When you divide 3,650+ days by the cost of the shoes, it's remarkably cost effective.

Custom made. It's the way to go.

I had custom made boots made in the 80's. Had them resoled three times. Loved those boots. They got lost in a move in 2001. Broke my heart.

My old man had custom made elephant hide boots made in Thailand back in the early 60's. Still has them. Damn things are indestructible.

Priced a new pair a couple of years ago, about $400-$500. I keep telling myself I'll get a pair made when I'm flush. Still waiting. Sigh.

SeaCat's idea sounds good until I can justify the price. $100 vs $450. The trade-offs of being a family man...

I worked in steel toe lace up boots for 20 years.

The smartest thing I ever did was throw those cocksuckers in the trash and buy a pair of running shoe style steel toes with oil resistant soles.

Boots are jewelry for men.

BS.

I wore Chippewa engineer boots for years. Custom made boots are for candy-asses.

An old time trick was to put a raw egg in each boot as well. Somewhat the same effect as the cold cream.

That's a good thing, right? Men should have jewelry.

Oh yeah. Torques, boots, silver and turquoise cuffs, non-Hip-hop earrings . . . And lots of cabochon stones hither and yon.

Just like Custom writing is for candy-asses. Why would anybody ever want to write anything original.

Wrist watch, cuff links and one ring. If it's something special, the Chevy belt buckle.

In some circles it has to be a RODEO belt buckle.

 

[voluptuary_manque]

In others, a beaded belt buckle. I'm not into buckles, though. A single heavy gold earring . . . I'm thinking about it. Maybe after I get a boat.

And a good pair of boots, she insisted.

A man can wear a Rodeo buckle, if he won it.

If boots get her off, I'll wear waders.

Back in San Angelo, Texas, your belt buckle was your positive ID.

Go into a bar, and when they ask for an ID, you show 'em your belt buckle. "BOB" see? Right there. Any other stupid questions?

It also helps a cheap date remember who's she's with.

Are we talking about specific types, like cowboy or motorcycle, or just leather in general?

 

[Handley_Page]

Ammo Boots, for sure.
Heavy, toe protection, studded thick rubber soles, cushioned ankle, and polished like a mirror.

You can go anywhere in those boots.

 

[Miss_Pixie]

I wear combat boots on a regular basis. I broke them in by beating them into submission

 

[voluptuary_manque]

Engineer boots! Glossy black with an instep strap, the buckle mirror polished. And no, I don't own any like that. My boots are all 'practical' types like these.

Think shorts, big hats with zebra skin bands, rifles so big the cartridges look like cigars . . .

Wow

Is there any chance of a nude photo of you wearing combat boots?

Loring --- your would be slave

 

[Xelebes]

I'm more of a leather shoe man, myself. Probably the only leather thing I'll wear. Boots look ungainly on me, and if I were dressed to make them non gainly, they'd be felt boots, not leather.

No lol. Not nude but... Interesting just the same

 

[Liar]

Why would anyone want to put their feet into anything that you have to manhandle in order to wear? Leather, rubber and pain. Is this some S/M thing I'm not aware or?
