Lots of great advice here.
And learned from sitting next to someone at REI:
When breaking them in to do a grueling downhill hike (to check the toebox) and trim your toenails.

Luckily she had the problems after a 15 mile hike locally rather than on her Kilimanjaro trek.

Just a small amount spread and rubbed in by hand. It discolors the leather (which can be bad or actually good depending on your preference) and works great.--Some people think it softens leather too much, but I don't think so.Gene

With all leather products (including Brooks saddles for bikes....of which we have 4) don't expect miracles after a painful break-in. They should feel pretty darn decent right away, and get better with time. If they're uncomfortable from the start, you're never going to wear them.We've both done a LOT of hiking, birding, etc. and I actually almost 100% of the time prefer sneakers to any pair of boots.Gene
