(This is a question from a 'friend') 8)

Is it possible/a technique? to break in cowboy boots relatively quickly without killing your feet??

Alfabus is wrong, you need to get a bunch of your cowboy friends to form a circle and piss on them.

Nope, not if they're quality ones with all leather construction. Using Mink Oil on the uppers will help, and decent thick insoles to cushion your feet will help.

My cowboy boots have very little (read no) grip on the sole. I retired them after nearly dying walking to work in the snow/ice one year. All my fault, but I could never look at the boots in the same light again. Somehow, I felt they let me down......

Soak them in a bucket of water for 24 hours.

Then we're them 24 hours a day for a week.

(according to "Malcolm in the Middle" this is NOT the best way to break in cowboy boots)

Has someone got a calendar I can borrow? I keep checking mine, but it definitely says 2012, but this thread is new and seems to be from 1982? There's 30 years I can't account for. Confused

You just have to wear them.
Though getting them wet, then drying them on your feet does help.

Just put your 'shrink to fit' 501 jeans on, and your boots, go for a ride in the forest, dry out in front of the log burner...et voila!!!!

Firstly 😆

Secondly, dubbin all over and then beat with a hide faced hammer all over, (and then you can do something with the boots, (before anyone else says anything))

"my friend" bought some from the Alberta Boot Company in Calgary a couple of year ago and I found, I mean he found, that they didn't need much breaking in.

Oh, and MTFU.

How much did your friend pay for them? I might be heading out that way shortly, and I've always had a hankering to buy some boots... for a friend

technically they are roper boots.

internet pedantry might wear them down.

'salty water, rinse, oil, wear' will break em in.

Shouldn't be any different to breaking in SPDs although you'll need flats

Heavier on the front brakes
Don't lock up the rear (skids are for kids)

HTH 🙂

Same way as normal boots ? Wear them for 20 mins to identify where they hurt your feet. Big fabric plasters on those bits of your feet. Thickish pair of socks and wear them around the house for a few hours at a time, gradually building up.

(scans post quickly for unintentional double-entendre, is satisfied)

I have a mighty fine pair of cowboy boots, but mine are black high-heeled and snakeskin with loads of metal studs so more of a goth-cowgirl hybrid.

And for the record, cowboy boots are cool, always have been cool, always will be cool. Except in the 80s when they became fashionable.

Pook you are a Cowboyist

Not Cowboyist - just Fake Cowboyist. A bit like Fakengers and their fixies and statement tattoos.

A real cowboy would just know how to break in his boots wouldn't he?

do you tuck your jeans in the tops Mark? i bet that looks fantastic. especially with your check shirt tucked in and stretched over your paunch.

ranch casual for the sartorially challenged.

A real cowboy would probably break them in by having them stampeded by a herd of cattle

What do you need to break them in for? You're only going to be walking from Via Fossa to Cruz 101?

Anyone under the age of 60 who does that should be taken out and shot in the back of the head.

I do what hels suggests. I've just bought a pair of German army boots, really nice thick leather and leather lined, but where they crease across the toes they press on my feet, so I just fold up some kitchen roll or thin cloth into a pad and put it into my sock where the pressure is. Works a treat.

the third will be 'anyone know of any bars in manchester where likeminded hairy guys hang out?'

the fourth will be 'advice please, me and the mrs arent getting on, theres just no chemistry'

the fifth will be 'what lubricant to remove zak's action man figure i accidentally sat on?'

the sixth will be 'which water wings for moving in with michael barrimore?'

The same could be said of Hora, or any of the gentlemen he meets in Cruz 101. Depending on whose turn it is to be 'daddy'
