[QUOTE="satellitedriver, post: 900870, member: 1664"] [COLOR=#006400][B]Sorry, but your mistake is in buying a Red Wing work boot. Yes they do last, but at a cost to your feet. I learned that lesson over 30yrs ago. 2 blisters on my left foot and 3 on my right foot. I did not have the money to spare for new boots, so I just wore them. They lasted 5yrs. A true [SIZE=5]quality[/SIZE] work boot does not require any break in. There are "old school" tricks to get a leather boot to form to your feet. Soak them in water and wear them while they dry and they form to your foot. If they are too tight, or just rub in certain spots, soak the area with rubbing alcohol and use the end of a broom stick, on the inside, to stretch the leather. To soften the leather, massage mink oil into the leather-(it also is a good waterproofing)-. IMHO, the best thing to do is to buy a boot that fits [SIZE=5]perfectly[/SIZE] when you try them on at the store. [/B][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
