How to make your boots look brand new! same pair, daily wear, almost 1 year later. • Keep Doc's Looking BRA...
Warning: this is at your own risk. I am not responsible if you damage your shoes using this method. This is what works for me personally and I have never had an issue with it and this method has drastically shortened the uncomfortable break-in time to only 2 days tops! I did not break these in further after filming. What you see is exactly what I did. I wore them the next day with no problem.
This video was pre-recorded in the early spring. No way I'm going to turn on a heater in the middle of summer. If the weather is super warm, there is no need to heat up your boots. You can leave them in a sunny spot to warm them.
Let's be friends!

I love all the "just be in pain for two weeks *flex* arrrrrrgggghhhh" comments. I dunno about you but when I have a headache I take a headache tablet, when my back is in pain I go to massage therapist, and when I buy new leather shoes I pre-break them in. Life has enough suffering in it already. I'm a crusty 48 year old and I don't need to bother with more pain than I've got! So thanks for this new way of doing it for me.

Thats why i hate female millennials. They are too bubbly and outspoken even if they make no sense.
I just did this yesterday BEFORE finding this video. I was a lot more hardcore with the hammer though, lol. Luckily Dr. Martens are freggin durable AF. I also used the shoe laces to bind the boot folded in half to really wear in that uncomfortable toe area. Worked like a charm....however they do end up looking more worn in...that's not something that bothers me though. Thank you for the video. Some of us want to "earn" our boots without crying after every wear. :)
summary: Stuff the boots tightly take some fucking balm, put loads on the boot let it soak in wrap towel around boot Softly bash the boot with the hammer- don't hit the toe, only where to soften There ya go
I was born in the same year Dr Martens were invented (1960) and I've had many pairs. To make them truly 'yours' you simply have to go through a couple of weeks discomfort after which they become as comfortable as slippers. There are no shortcuts or easy fixes. My latest 'For Life' pair arrived yesterday and I'm going through the 'discomfort' (pain) period right now. It will pass. Don't bash your DM's.

In my size, my foot feels very "compact" and I have not as much freedom than in those who are a size bigger... I can't decide! I'm scared to take the bigger ones because I think they could get even bigger when I've been breaking through them..
Slide the boot over a broom stick or shovel handle and bend the toe and work the boot. Works almost instantly.
Thanks for the video! It was helpful! I always buy Martens in size 7 because the 6 gives me the same uncomfy place as you said, in the top of my feet! And also, put them in is a nightmare, is a battle in between my foot and the boot! But, I´m thinking in buy size 6 and see if I can hold them with your method! Thank you so much

Thick socks. Unfortunately with the patent leather you can't break them down by this method because it'll ruin the patent finish. However if you double sock, it'll protect your feet and ankles a little better while you suffer through the break in process!

you can also wet the leather from the inside a bit. this will make the leather softer and then you can widen or transform it as you want. but be careful with drying and dry them slowly (maybe with some old paper)

alternatively you can wet the newspaper and pack the heel of the boot tightly and leave to dry in a warm place to stretch it a little bit. I would also suggest wearing boot socks and using blister band aids on your heels as well.
Better method....soak them daily in dubbin or similar product, for a few weeks before wearing, them continue to do so for a couple of weeks. Slowly softening is better for longer lasting boots.

+Thomas from Denmark you can totally use your hands and a hairdryer. I just used a hammer and my radiator instead 😅 I stuff the shoes tightly first so that as the leather softens with heat, the pressure of the towel inside the shoe will stretch it a little bit. also, stuffing the shoe helps (i think) keep the shape of it while I'm hitting it with a hammer. But whenever I am looking to stretch shoes and don't have a shoe stretching apparatus, I always stuff them.

I don't understand all the trouble with ''breaking'' Dr. Martens. They were comfortable the second i put my feet on them. And for how much it cost , I will never, with an conscient mind beat it up.

Some pairs are already comfortable. Some pairs require breaking in. I have 2 pairs that were comfortable and didnt have to do anything to them.
Why are people hating? lol. Anyway, nice video! What shoe size are you?

yiela thank you! my shoe size depends on the shoe, to be honest
My biggest problem is the ankles. They dig. But I will deal.

what type of socks do you wear? i always wear men's athletic/basketball socks folded over so the ankle part is cushioned by the sock
love you so much

Lony Soirez thank you! ❤
If you choose the old fashion wear them in way get yourself some moleskin to protect the gashes and bruises and stuff that will happen to your feet if you use the mole skin you'll be able to continue to wear the boot as it breaks in.
Beating them while laying them on a soft couch? I don't think it work that way, I am pretty sure it does not work that way.

you don't want to hit them too hard or you'll misshape the boot.
