I just got a pair of Smoke Jumpers and im wondering whats the best way to break them in.
I wear them.
Pretty much all I do. Put a good coat of boot grease such as Obernauf's on them, let it soak in, then just put them on and go about your daily business.Quote:

I use boot oil and wear them.
It helps to hike hills so that they get broken in for the type of terrain that causes the worst damage to feet.... ups and downs.
Thanks for the input everyone, and any suggestions for what type of socks i should get?
Thick wool socksQuote:

I swear that's the secret of the good condition of my feet in my logger boots.
I like the regular cotton socks with wool or wool blend socks over those for my two pair. Gives a little more cushion for those 16hr days spent entirely on your feet.
I just saw this... How I break mine in are I soak them in water and wear them while I'm mucking corrals. Well that's how I did it when we had horses... Works really well, but i suggest that you wash them off before coming back in the house; Mama was upset about the mess..... :D
I break mine in just like I described but I wear thick socks...
Once they dry, oil them real good and wear them some more.
