>I deal with it by properly breaking in my boots

How did you 'properly' break them in though? I assumed by walking in them I was breaking them in.

(These are the ones that caused me the heel damage)

stop being a pussy all proper boots do this until the leather and sole softens up to your foot.

My 1461s did this too. Had to wear them a couple times and the problem stopped

Is this your first pair of boots? Just ignore the pain and soldier on you faggot

Keep using them. Maybe put something soft on your heels so you wont get that. It sucks too, it sonestimes heals so long and leaves out a dark spot that takes long to disappear.

>>11654408
This is a common occurrence when Docs. My gf had those with hers. It's just a phase really. Boot sizes are weird since there's no half numbers. You either get smaller fit and break them in, larger fit and get insoles/stuff, or win the genetic lottery and have perfect feet for these. Good luck m8

only poor people need to break in boots...
this reminds you of your place in the world

>>11654334
that mean your heel is too weak and rubs off the hard leather

Either wear bandaids on your heels or enjoy perma scarring

>>11654412

Do you think if I dipped them in warm water whilst wearing them they might mold to my foot a bit?

man these are ugly as shit

also to answer you question , a new boot will always give you blisters untill you strech it, my suggestion is to use leather creams meant for helping the leather wear in and putting a bandage on the back of your heel

>>11654442

the 1460's and 1461's are not but the ones that were posted in this thread are

aloe, just get a chunk of aloe and put it on the damaged area, then cover it with gauze or a bandaid.

to make leather softer, you dip it in oil, then leave it out in the sun.

>>11654579
Shitty boots don't even need to be broken in. Nice ones do.

as others have said, it's normal during break-in
if you don't wanna wait it out you can use a rubber mallet to artificially break in the leather

>>11654334
wear them until they fuck your heel up (already at this stage), then don't wear them for a week or so, let your heel heal, then you can wear them again, they won't fuck your heal up again just wear proper socks

from this point of view chukkas are the worst type of shoes, the heel end exactly where it shouldn't, lowtops are better, hightops are better

>>11654445
>stronger heels
You kinda just have to deal with it. Abrasion will lead to calluses and blisters, and when these heal you'll have "stronger heels"

Also, soldiers use duct tape or pantyhose to reduce frinction between boots and feet

Thick wool socks.

>>11654579

It's not that I can't afford expensive boots, its just that these were the ones I chose.

But then nu-male faggot like you had to come in and constantly bitch at my shoe choice. Your like a bitchy gay fashion designer or something.

>>11656019
Some are easier than other to break in.
It depends on the thickness of the leather, the qualité of the design and if the boot fits you.
For instance a meindl perfekt will need break in and it will take long because of the thickness of the leather, while a leather converse will require no break-in despite it being made of leather.

A dr. marteens boot has a few faults:
- It's cut sharply at the top and thus bites you if you tighten it without the proper socks (I insist, socks are very important).
- the shoe interior is not doubled (it's just the back of the exterior leather) so you need thicker socks to act as doubling or you need your pants tucked in.
- The leather is not that tick but still a pain to deform because of it's treatment and stitching. It's more fashionable to have a shiny new-looking not deformed shoe but it's a pain.
- The laces are free from the bottom to the top, it means you can't have a different tension for the foot and the ankle.
- The sole was considered good when it was created but now it's archaic, if you are 200 pounds and walking a lot on concrete you will damage your feets/knees/hips/back/...

So it's not a walking/trekking/mountain boot. It's not a millitary boot either, it's not tought enough.
It's a day to day comute shoe to wear to take the bus and not walk too much.
The reinforced ones are marketed to be a good festival/concert shoe and I've used them for that purpose, it's nice but too hard on the feets for me. It might be good for females and smaller men.

Alright bud, if theyre new you gotta break them in, if full graub leather, use saddle soap to soften them up and wear TWO pairs of socks in order for the break in process to be faster. trust me on this. i wear military boots because I love the design and if I got a new pair I had to do this

>>11656061

My whole post is on the standard dr martens (pic related).

I've seen the picture you posted higher and I don't know anything about them.
By just looking at them I'd say the ankle bite should be less of an issue but I'd still wear socks a bit higher than the shoe and thicker like trakking socks (for the break-in).
The sole seems different and the interior is probably different too so it shouldn't be as punishing for the joints as the "standard" one.

I had the traditional ones when I was 16 and I tought it was the endgame in terms of boots for metal festivals and such. Now I'm 26 and I can tell you I was wrong. It won't help you if you want something fashionable but right now when I need boots it's either Matterhorn, Meindl, custom made boots or my trusty KS (not an option for you). I need something lower for day to day? Running shoes and fuck fashion, I like my joints.

Ah I see, will go with the sock thing, also will apply some shoe stuff to help soften the leather.

>>11656505
yeah I used to a while ago. the way you percieve things depends on what information you're taking in. if you're constantly taking in such pessimism and negativity then it's all you're going to see. you start seeing the world through such a skewed lens - the entire "all woman are like that" and viewing any man who wants a relation as blue pill cuck etc etc etc. you limit your information to an echo chamber of ideas so that your opinions won't change. it's the exact same for the opposite - sjw's choose to see the world through a different stupid viewpoint.

I just don't see how it's enjoyable to live that way and it really only applies negatively to your life. whatever though, there are definitely much worse things than calling people cucks and nu-males.

I do think browsing /pol/ and stuff can have a negative impact on your life. Getting constantly triggered by stuff like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44vzMNG2fZc really does take it's toll.

I remember some guy on /pol/ posting a thread about how he had a stroke due to stress from browsing /pol/ lol.

There is some really serious shit going on in the world, but I think for your personal self it is important to detach yourself to an extent, to remain calm, and not become bitter etc.

When thinking of /pol/ I am reminded of this book passage (see pic). /pol/ is my 'melancholy pessimist', but it is also important to gloss over certain things in your mind to remain light and not bitter. To be in this world, but not of it?

>>11656531
