If I'm gonna spend 5 days walking around Patagonia, I want good boots. I still have black toenails from the ones I wore on Mt Whitney back in June. Goodness!
Quick trip to REI, huge bump to next years dividend and I have some new boots. With today's materials and manufacturing it is not as crucial how you break boots in, but they still should be worn a bit before the big trip. Especially if you have leather boots. As mine are mostly synthetics, the break in period is quick.
I remember having to wear them hours on end. Walking in a heavy pack around the yard or block. Soaking them completely in water and then wearing them until dry. And rubbing in waterproofing compounds and leather conditioners. No need for that anymore thankfully. Just a quick run up and down Cowles.
