It's that time of year again and my boots have died. Seems to be pretty much a two year life and again I've replaced them with an identical pair (like I've done for the last 6 years :)).
This means I have the same couple of months of them not actually being all that comfortable...in particular, the very stiff leather on the back of them rubs my heel somewhat. I know that after a couple of months this will be fine and they will be as comfy as the old ones but for now I'm wondering if there is anything easily obtainable that could accelerate the softening?
I've got access to a steam cleaner - was pondering a go with that. Any other ideas? Or do I just have to put up with it and let them bed in like normal :)
Please, no suggestions of other brands of boots (These are Cats) - I've tried plenty of the years and these are the best in terms of life, comfort and price (once the painful first couple of months is over :)). Anyway, I've bought them now so I'm not planning on shoe shopping for another
24 months ;-)Darren
