Should have worn the new boots coz how the fnuk you gonna break 'em in if ya dont.
P.S pissing in them ,leaving them over night and then cleaning em out speeds up the process.
P.P.S If you piss in em dont do as a mate did an leave em for a fortnight ! Jeez wot a stink :eek:

Silvermans in London have been doing a special recently (advertise in BSH)
A pair of brand new British Army Para Assault boots (bit like German Paras but IMO better) for £30.00!
Just taken advantage of the offer myself a month or so back - no need to break them in as they've been designed for these soft trainer wearing Kids who join the army and can't put up with the pain of blisters etc. You can also get goretex liners for them, for the winter

When I got back from the Bulldog last year my dog had shat in my slippers. Obviously she thought I would appreciate it. :D

fill bath with warm water,
put your boots on with socks as normal
and soak the boots for about half hour (moving your plates around in them a bit)
let them dry naturaly
(old army trick for new boots)
:D

Go for a decent Yomp (spelled right or is it Jomp with a silent J?)
50 miles should see them nicely broken in
You have to get them moulded to yer feet-wear them like slippers around the house?
