I've found that when you're driving a car you can put the heat on high and setting the vents to your feet makes the leather quite flexible

That is so true especially for the winter time

I solved heel blister with a Dr Scholl heel gel pad… one that lays flat, this raises the heel to the comfy position. Might work depending on your geometry.

Today my very first doc’s pair came (1461), I thought I would be dying after 5 min of use and yes, they were so tight for my foot but I took the template off and they were perfect, I wore them all day and no pain disturbed me, I guess it’s because they’re the Virginia leather and I wore thick socks but it was great

Congrats on your first pair of docs… the Virginia leather helped out a lot and the thick socks too.. you’ll love them

Wonder balm, both inside and out (at the heel), correct size, bandaid your heel like crazy, and wear either several thin pairs of socks, or a thin and a pair of thick socks and wear them innside at home daily is key!

I just rubbed Dubbin wax on my Solovair 8-eye Derby and that’s it. No bandaids necessary.

Putting mink oil on the inside of the boots and heating them up helps a ton, I broke in my made in England docs in 2 days with that method

is it okay if I apply the mink oil on the outside leather? or just only the inside of the boots?

tbh thick socks are useless if you have a perfect fit and it will cause a lot irritation i would know since im still a teen im still growing and i went through 4 pairs! in 3 years! atleast my mom can wear my second pair but just walk it'll eventually get less painfull and you'll break them gl

By the right fit. Wear proper socks. Tie then super tight and get walking!

@@noexcuses5524 prob because you are overpaying for the boots. From my experience with leather, a sign of a good quality is the short amount of time for the break in. My meermin loafers fit like a glove but were a pain in the butt to break in while my allen edmonds were extremely easy.

Terrible shoes and boots, very wide fitting, the boots are even worse, look at the laces when you try and lace them, they pull so close together, truly terrible design and the shape is also terrible.
