You know the feeling when you just want to wear your new boots but it's insanely hot outside...
Well, as a boot-guy, I feel your pain all too well.
I've been breaking in new boots from Nicks, Whites, Wesco, Truman, Thursday, Red Wing, Oak Street Bootmakers, and a few other brands to get ready for a whole bunch of (hopefully) awesome videos this fall and winter.
But it hasn't been easy!
As much as I'd like to kick it with a pair of flamingo shorts, boots just don't match. Trust me. I've tried.

As someone who is obsessed with the workwear look and collects carhartt jackets I totally feel this video. It has to be jeans. And jeans look best with boots. And the jacket really puts the whole thing together. If only it was 50°Fahrenheit every where I went.

@thesharpercoder 2 жыл бұрын

LOL. That was funny! Nice boots! On a more serious note, your body heat does more to soften and break in leather more than anything else. First step is breaking in the upper leather. No conditioners. No walking required. Watch TV. You may also try wiping them down with a hot, slightly damp washcloth while it is on your foot. One of those hot towels a barber puts on your face before a shave would be perfect.

@BootSpy 2 жыл бұрын

Yeah, I've been noticing that breaking in my nicks and whites hasnt been too tough. A few hard days but that was about it

@billyfowler9423 Жыл бұрын

Yes, best time to break in leather boots is to wear them all day in the summer. Your feet will sweat and the heat and moisture will help break in the leather.

I loved the humor! 😂 Great video! A bit of advice though! Darn Tough model "Spur" socks though my friend! Your feet will thank you and much, much, cooler! It seems silly, still wool, but they aren't nearly as heavy or thick! They also make a light weight no cushion over the calf western sock. Either one should fix the issue. I have the same issue with the heavier wool socks. I love my Nick's and just alter the socks I wear depending on the time of year. Otherwise I roast in the high 70's and low 80's let alone 90's...

@BootSpy 2 жыл бұрын

Yeah I've actually been wearing thinner socks when breaking in my nicks and whites and it's surprisingly more comfortable

@Vultain 2 жыл бұрын

@@BootSpy Cool, and glad to hear it! Those thicker socks usually benefit you the most those first 3 days give or take. Then I always find especially in summer you benefit from the switch. Good news is the break in happens so much faster in the summer months! If I still have your attention past that point what do you use for excess sweat? I always found my insole (Red Wing) would mold if I inserted boot trees/shoe trees or even left for three days after wearing. I literally have to stuff my boots with Kraft paper, dry them 100% and then insert a tree. I was wondering if you face a similar struggle or not? I find it isn't really a subject you hear discussed a lot until pandemonium ensues. This is coming from a guy who has 5 boots in rotation at any given moment. So it isn't from wearing them past a day. I even have them stored in a room with a dehumidifier set around 40%. So my apologies for the question, just it has always bugged me if I am alone in this issue or not?

@BootSpy 2 жыл бұрын

Have you tried a boot dryer? That might help. I don't think they're all that great for the leather and you may have to condition more often, but it beats getting moldy

@Vultain 2 жыл бұрын

@@BootSpy I did actually, I haven't tried one with the fans but the Peet Shoe Dryer led to cracking an insole. Also if you use it with a new boot in my experience it hardens the footbed and prevents your insole molding to your feet. One of the biggest benefits to heritage footwear. Maybe I can try a fan based one and give it a whirl? Thanks for the idea and the revisit.

I'm all about great boots and well made everything here in the US, but the kid I used to be made sure the old dude I'm becoming will never forget how much new Levi's sucked. Sorry, but you can keep all the raw denim for yourself, I couldn't give two cents about their longevity and I don't miss the faded outlines of my wallet, keys and such. Hell, we used to make fun of kids wearing new Levis's, while we washed ours at least four times before wearing them to school. Things change, but I'll take a broken-in over-priced pair of 505s that only last a few years all day over revisiting those pants. Eek, maybe they'll bring back Toughskins and you can experience true torture.
