I LOVE your cowboy boots, Mower Mike!! Lucheese (?) boots stand out to me. I've LOVED cowboy boots since I was little! I have a broken-in brown pair. I wear mine with loose jeans and even shorts!! I LOVE the pattern on the toe of cowboy boots. I think it makes them stand out more. I LOVE how they make me look taller and women notice. I'm 5'10" and I wear size 12. Cowboy boots need their own paid holiday!! :) :) I want a black pair next, maybe with the metal toe taps and heel guards!! Can't wait!!

I usually just wear my nice boots to break them in but my work boots I run the hose over the base of them and wear them around but always follow up with a conditioner/ water resistant cream.

I was looking for how to break in a shaft well but this is also good info

Thanks for the advice

Great tip, I'll try that thankyou 🥾

This guy is awesome! Dope video and responded to every comment

Great looking boots. I just Subscribed.

Pro tip. Something I learned last week lol.

I like your boots ! From France !

Steaming the inside of them using a tea kettle works way faster......just bring water to boil where it's whistling and blowing stream, stream inside of boot and put them on walk around house a little , can be done in less than a half hour...

Thanks fkr the tip. What about the inside of the boot around the heel area? I just had issues slipping my left boot on and taking the boots off is a struggle. Any tips??

Still great advice Thanks

Thanks for sharing 🥰❤️

Will the rubbing alcohol make the color fade … on like Brown leather Blundstone ankle boots?

Would this work with any type of boot or is it specific to the ones you got?

I've done the dunk method, putting them in water and then walking in them. Does this method damage the leather or do you condition them later?

I got a pair of Luchese's at Tesky's for 75. I dont usually buy those due to them usually being expensive and not a work boot. Boots never last me 6 months anyway, even babying them. Ive got a pair of ariat roughstock boots I got off amazon that are hard like old saddle leather thats been wet a million times. Cant get them to soften for nothing... Even beat them with a dang hammer. Its my 3rd pair, the others were awesome right out of the box.

Love the TW200

I think Ariat or some other boot company might have boot stretching spray for sale. If you can, give that a try. The alcohol and water mix works as a last minute thing. Just a tip!

Thx!

Have you had the seam tear on the outer camo where it meets the leather?

I have a pair of boots that I’ve literally worn every day for 5 years, and they’re so broken in that they’re as comfortable as gym shoes. I decided to by another pair about a month ago, and I feel like it’s going to take forever to get them to the point of my old pair. So I may try this.

Doesn't rubbing alcohol dry the boots or something like that?

I have a pair of fat baby boots that are SUPER tight around the ankle, to the point that I can't get them on ... any tips for opening up that area so I can actually get them on? thx!!

See my feet are weird. A 12EE is too wide and too short. A 12D is too narrow and too short. Toes at the end of the toe box. A 13D which I wear in everything from lace up steel toes to sneakers and boat shoes fits snug but comfortably. After some breaking in they start to feel loose. Heel slip is my main concern, I still have some after they’ve worn in which feels weird to me. Walking with a purpose they’re perfect and stay right where I want them. When I’m meandering or sitting on a stool/standing my feet feel like they’re sliding forward. I’ve yet to find any boots in a 12.5D so I’m thinking I might need to add a super thin leather insole to take up just a smidgen of space. Or maybe I’m just not used to them yet. Started wearing cowboy boots full time like a year ago around when this video was made. Got a pair of Justin Cowmans, and a month and a half ago got some Ariats. Both fit differently and the Ariats feel the best but idk.

Would try this but don't want to ruin my leather/python boots, i just wore slightly thicker socks and wore them constant for three days, then i put thinner socks on and they are perfect. Great boots by the way.

Rubbing alcohol has an ENORMOUSLY drying out effect on boots, so it's very important to thoroughly moisturize your boots AFTER to avoid, literal, cracking of the leather, later on. My Lucchese boots were more than six hundred bucks, not something I'd EVER treat 🙃 poorly!

Would this work on synthetic leather?

Do you have to wear boot cut jeans with boots or is there another way

How would you break in waterproof shoe string less timberland steel boots?

Pledge restore and shine for wood and leather. It works great and smells like oranges

The alcohol doesn’t damage the leather??

Mine keep chaffing my heel? What should I do?

Tried this in some ariat work boots and after the first spray of rubbing alcohol they came loose asap I only need one spray.

Won’t the alcohol break down the boots? I usually wet my boots the first full day I get them and walk around with them until they dry. And do this a few times the first day. But the alcohol part makes me nervous with expensive boots. And then use boot butter or saddle leather conditioner.

What about No so leather pleather boots?

Sick pair of boots! What model and toe and skin are they?

How to break in womens carolina boots. They cut into my leg at top where laced!!! Help!!

That's a really low ceiling, or you're a really tall dude!

J.B. Hill are the best boots you can buy in Texas.

I use a kettle and let steam inside the boot.

Mix it ? With what ? Water or just straight alcohol….?

Is this a joke or something? Like when people were saying to dump hot water on your iced up windshield during winter?

The best boots in Texas are handcrafted Tony Lama

Won’t the alcohol dry out the leather ? (I am a novice !)

I poor a cup of water in each one but the spray bottle is a good idea

Another very easy and quick tip is to remove the INSOLE of the brand new cowboy boot, you’ll definitely have more wiggle room!

All these people saying how to ruin or destroy your boots with this method well i got some bad news for you it will not destroy or ruin your boots in fact it's the same method shoe repair shops use for many years to relax lether so they can stretch it and btw that bottle of leather stretcher or relaxer that you can buy guess what it's the same thing yes that's right it's alcohol and water mix so now that you have been educated you might want to do your research before you comment on something you don't know nothing about

I would think putting on the boots, standing in a tub of water for 30 minutes or so, then walk around with them as long as you can might work. If you have the time.

I heard put a sock on a boot stretch and spray this on it and let it sit for 2 days..🤗

Lol pro tip "here's the quickest way to ruin your leather boots". Great advice 👍

Did you mix with water orrr? Lol

One third rubbing alcohol and the rest with water or just one third of the bottle with rubbing alcohol and thats it? 🙉

I think this would be ok on cheaper boots but if you’ve spent a lot on a pair I would buy natural leather conditioner and rub that on them three times throughout the day as it dries and wear them a lot.

Google says to spray the inside

How to destroy your boots in 30 minutes. Alcohol is horrible for leather and causes it to dry out and crack

I instantly trust anyone wearing john deere! 👍

I can’t believe all these people are trying to tell someone from Texas what not to do to their boots

There is no way I'm spraying rubbing alcohol on My $400 lucchese boots .

Longer the tip the quicker the sprint.. .. watchem

Don't forget some conditioner afterwards, alcohol will dry the heck outta that there cow hide.

Title says how to break in, in under 30 minutes….says how it took about an hour to break in????🤦🏻‍♂️

Alcohol is terrible for leather., Best to use just water.

Rubbing alcohol is the last thing you want on your boots, it dries them out and makes them crack

This will weaken the leather greatly and will reduce the lifespan of your boots dramatically. It works, but that is because you are literally degrading and destroying the leather. Break in is hard, but its necessary. If you have crazy money to burn on boots, then go ahead and throw your money. As for me and my $600 Nicks Boots, a natural break-in is the only way.

This is a tutorial on how to destroy leather!!!!

Noooooo. Terrible for your boots. Condition them with conditioner out of the box and wear them to the mailbox and back a few times.

That alcohol is absolutely HORRIBLE for the leather though bro.. you'd want to do this with like,... lanolin oil versus alcohol IMHO for sure. And OR ALSO a boot Jack\stretcher while adding oil to the outside of the toe box 🔥🔥

I could never wear cowboy boots. My tootsies are way to wide for those. I break-in my work boots by wearing them until they hurt, then wearing them some more until they stop hurting.
