I just wore the shoes for 5 days even in house. When I was in my house I wore them untied. I was in pain yes, but I broke them in in 5 days. After that my docs were like there were made custom for my feet 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

@alexjulian222 Год назад

One tip I can say worked for my because the sticking that rub the tops of your foot, I used wonder balsam and tshirts instead of the news papaer. Also for the hair dryer/heat trick, it’s better to wear them and only heat them into the the leather is lightly warm and walk in them. The way the leather is made, it will be come super brittle and it’ll crack the leather. I’m pretty sure 99% of docs have a plastic coatings on the outside. Get a leather milk and rub the insides down lightly just make sure to put something down so it won’t soak into the midsole and ruin it

@xyrxy Год назад

Thanks for your tips. I'm now breaking in my first pair of martens and now hope it'll be painless. By the way - my late father's tip for breaking in: put some 70% alcohol on the place the shoe is too hard and harms your foot. Sometimes it works... Thanks again.

I always hear horror stories about breaking in Docs, but honeslty I've really never had an issue with it. I wear them around the house for a few days then just start wearing them everywhere. When they're new they do kind of hurt the tops of my feet a bit, but that goes away pretty quickly.

@marjofox Месяц назад

I have about 35 pairs of Docs, I've tried many different ways to break them in, including some of the ones in this video, however, I now use a LEATHER SHOE STRETCHING SPRAY, and it does the job really well and really quick. The one I use is available on Amazon and is by KAPS and is called " SHOE STRETCH ". You just spray it on the inside of the boot or shoe on the heel, the sides, or wherever you have trouble with them, and get it so the leather is damp, then put them, tie them up and walk around in them for 20 minutes or so. Sometimes doing it 2 or 3 times in a row helps if they are really stiff. I have had really great results with it and have been able to wear my Docs in less than a day with absolutely no trouble at all. Hope this gives you another choice for wearing in your Docs. 🥾👞👍😃

When I get new docs for the first two weeks I cut a pad in half and stick it to the heel. I also were thick socks, and I bring some bandaids just in case there are some parts that are bothersome and painful. And I wear them everyday. After than they are mostly broken in and I just grin and bear any small pain that I might have. But I still wear the thick socks just to make sure

@Fodaydontplay Год назад

Okay.. how long until they are comfortable

@@Fodaydontplay it took me around a month with the help of the sanitary pads and after that I stoped putting them in and I continued to use thick socks and bandages as needed. They were pretty much completely broken in in almost 2 months

A few hours a day in a warm house with wool socks . Use the balm , and take your time . Thats how i used to break in new danner army boots when i was in. Danners are very thick and stiff when new . Then i would wear them half a day , and change out , until fully broken in . Take your time and get your feet tough along the way .

@Fodaydontplay Год назад

Okay.. that’s similar to how to break in docs

@NCrdwlf Год назад

@@Fodaydontplay any sort of stiff boot. Some people say soak them, get them wet and walk them dry. That works too but if you have cardboard anywhere in the boot ( heel counter, midsole, insole , heel ) it will really trash the boot for long term use.

Yeah I got a pair of DocMartens about 1.5 years ago and I don't like to wear them because I always get blisters on my heel and the side of my foot. I always wear them with two pairs of socks and often put bandaids on my feet as well. I got the Jaidens which probably wasn't the smartest choice considering they are so hard to break in and my feet are apparently quite sensitive. But I will try the heat thing and I'm gonna squeeze them a bit to hopefully make it a more pleasant experience. I do love how they look and I do plan on getting more Docs in the future.

@Fodaydontplay 10 месяцев назад

Hopefully your feet are getting stronger from these experience. You can also try softer leather, so your feet won’t go through a lot of suffering. What other docs do you want?

Urine, for it's uric acid, is also used by Native American people to cure leather from game caught for food and other resources. Maybe leather, i. e. skin from animals! has the same natural receptors and can soften with treatment of uric acid from, um...what you said ❤😂❤
