How to Break in Boots – Make Leather Shoes Appearing New Again

If you’re trying to figure out how to break in shoes, your first stop is probably going to be your local mall. There are probably a few stores inside that sell fashion boots. You know the ones, the thin, stretchy ones that come up to your knees and have no heel? That’s just the beginning of the problem. If you get them really thin they can actually make your legs look longer.

The next step is to find a mink oil shoe stretcher. Mink oil boots were originally made from the fur of a black bear found on the South American continent. Mink oil is actually very flexible and pliable leather. Mink oil shoes are typically available at places like TJMaxx and Marshalls, but you can also find them online if you look hard enough. They can last a while with proper care, but they are not the best choice for casual or athletic wear.

The best kind of boot to break in is a suede leather boot. These boots are not only incredibly comfortable, but they also make a fashion statement when worn with skinny jeans or twill pants. I cannot tell you how many times I have seen girls with these boots in public, and guys looking at them think they’re cute. Sizing issues may be an issue with these boots, so always make sure you get a pair that fits you snugly.
