Break in shoes

try wearing thicker socks

Wear two pairs of socks, or wear a pair of very thick socks. Other than that, you just have to wear them until the material becomes softer. There are some products that claim to soften Doc Martens, but I was too scared to use them.

stop being such a pussy shoes are meant to hurt a little when you first wear them. However if you polish the leather after wearing them every day it should moisturise the leather and speed up the process. Dont wear two layers of socks and shit.

Thick socks, leave Vaseline on them over night and rub it off in the morning and polish them loads, the best thing for leather that I've ever used is chambers leather balsam softens them right up without making the leather feel weak like DMs wonder balsam does

Put duct tape on your heel where most of the frictiont takes place. The tape should eliminate most of the friction

Schedule day were you don't leave your house.
Fill bathtub with lukewarm water.
Put on normal socks and your shoes.
Get the shoes completely soaked.
Wear them around the house for the day.
When done, dry them slowly using crumbled newspaper and place them close to a heating source e.g. radiator.

Dr. Martens is proper leather. Water doesn't hurt it in any way. This method simply helps with your feet breaking in the shoes, instead of the shoes breaking in your feet.

just wear them around the house. that's how I broke mine in after a couple of days.

Wool socks.

1. Put a bandage on your wound.
2. Put on some thin socks.
3. Put a cotton pad or a few at the exact same place as the bandage.
4. Secure cotton pads with just one layer of duct tape
5. Put on the second pair of thin socks.
6. You're good to go.

I forgot to add. The purpose of this method is to divert the friction from between your foot and the shoe to between the tape and the shoe. (Duct tape is more slippery and thus gets the friction. Also, the tape doesn't move in relation to your foot.)

Just don't wear them every day while you're breaking them in.
