idk it might sound wierd but when i get new cleats for football and baseball i run on my treadmill.

when i got new boots, i wore them around the house just walking around in them to get used to the fell of them the night before riding. the the next day i went riding in them. west way i know of to break them in, RIDE!

Riding is the only way I do it....be careful though the first time! They can screw up your shifting and braking!

just walk around in the house for a few hours, if you get good boots, sometimes you dont need to break them in at all

With my Alpinestars I just rode them untill they were broken in and it worked fine...

ya i second that, i had to move up my shift lever ALOT after i got rid of my wal mart rubber fishing boots! but once u go from crap riding footwear to riding boots, youll never go back. alot more support and comfort!

i dont know if you'd be able to run on a treadmill due to the fact that they're so stiff. IMO, just ride

I just bought new Fly Talon 2's they are sweet very comfortable and and have the most protection I have ever had from boots. On the downside they are kind of expencive I got my for $200and think there worth it. As for breaking them in I just went out and rode in them and got the feel for them.:)

i wore mine around the house and walked around and stretched them as much as possible. I also wore them when sitting at the computer and I would try to stretch them out by putting my heels down and up. That made the area around the ankle not as stiff and by the time I got to ride in them, they were almost perfectly broken in.

i just stretch them around in the most akward positions while walking around the house.

Do some Ty Bo in them :macho

I'm getting the Oxtar Pro's - I bought some for my husband - who was an avid Tech 8 guy - and he loves them. Raced without ever wearing them before and since they flex at the ankle - they never felt stiff for him. They have excellent support and are just really well made......I'll let you know how I like them when i get mine. My Tech 8's have finally had it.......just wore them out! LOL!!

if you can afford it, deffinatley get the tech 10s, they are by far the best boots ive ever had, and so comfy, no break-in needed AT ALL
