Boots: 1 Riki's Foot: 0

[rikibeth]

Okay. So I bought my lovely, spiffy Double-H "jump boots," with the police/fire/EMS sole and the zipper down the side and the buckle across the ankle, and they are a joy to behold.

They are not yet a joy to wear.

The right boot is not bad. Kinda stiff, but getting more flex each time I wear it, and not causing me any discomfort.

The left boot is nearly impossible. It doesn't seem to have ANY flex in it across the instep. I can't walk normally with it on. It kinda hurts. Taking it off just now REALLY hurt.

How the hell do I break these things in so that they conform to my FEET and not the other way around?

juseppi, I'll ask you in person tonight, but anyone else with words of advice would also be welcome.

What material are they? If they are leather.. go puddle-stomping!! :) Let them get soaking wet.. and then wear them for a little bit (not even necc walking around in them). Then, let them dry. :)

This'll really work? This is not just your way of exacting revenge on Shit Faced Girl for making a fool of herself in front of your co-workers?

1) Yes, this does really work.
2) It doesn't really matter to me that you got trashed infront of my co-workers. A lot of ppl get trashed infront of my co-workers on a daily basis.
