How to soften up boots so they don't rub

6 replies

Bought some hush puppies leather boots online in my usual size
Tried them on they were fine so decided I would keep them,
Took them out so they are now not returnable are rubbing like fuck on my little toe
What can I do ?

Wear them round the house with a pair of thick socks. I've always had to break shoes in. Get yourself some Compede plasters too.

Wearing them in the rain will also help.

Stretch them out wearing really thick walking socks around the house.

Clark’s used to do a spray that would stretch leather a little just to ease pinch points. Otherwise I agree compeed plasters will help as you break them in.

My Dad told me that they would piss into new boots over-night. Mind you that was when he was in the army in the 40s..
