Breaking in the boots

[Tjeccles]

Does anyone wear their boots before putting the vinyl on to break in the boots? Or is it usually put the vinyl on straight out of the box?

I would say since a large percentage order our boots from propmakers, we don't get a chance to break them in first. But either way should work.

Boot break in...I know so well. One way and one way only! Wear them suckers! After the vinyl has been applied just wear em around the house,outside ,and so on.

I'm thinking of making my own boots, since costuming is expensive and I'm broke. If I break in the boots before putting the vinyl on, will I need to break them in again post vinyl?

You shouldn’t have to. The vinyl is layered over the boot much like a gator. I think you’ll be fine. Tim’s right though give them a break in before you have to troop several hours in them your feet will thank you.

I've already learned my lesson of walking around in new boots all day. I don't want to experience that again if I don't have to. Just looking for the best way to go about breaking these in.
