..these boots, like others have said require no breaking in. For a relatively heavy boot (2+ lbs./boot) they are a dream to walk on, and almost seem to propel themselves from heel plant to toe lift. I am not really in the class of buyer for these boots, but when it comes to what I put on my feet I never compromise because of price. I have never regretted getting these, just the opposite, they make me happier and happier each time I put them on.
