Tips to breaking in shoes?

[v3rrv3]

I know they say you should never have to, but I have wide feet so I seemingly ALWAYS have too. Its been almost 2 years since I've got shoes. All I remember is wearing them for a few hours at a time, anyone else have tips? I hate new shoes but my old ones were falling apart.

Try wearing them.

I am, just wondering if there's some trick to speed things up

They make those shoe widening things. Insert into the shoes and they stretch them.

real men don't buy shoes that need breaking in

i know, it's a pain in the ass and my ankles get skin scrapped and I got to put a bandaid on my ankle, or other areas.

get a shoe stretcher, get a spray that softens the leather of your shoe. they carry this at kmart walmart, or drugstores, or shoe repair places.

or use some baseball glove oil and rub that in.

wear the shoes around the house for a few weeks to also break in the shoe.

tie them to your bumper and drive around a bit

wear them while you are sitting around doing nothing.
wear them when you go out for a little while.

Just don't wear them when you won't be able to take them off for a few hours.
