    Question getting used to/breaking in new riding boots

    I just got my new THOR ATV boots in the mail today and they feel like I'm wearing ski boots.
    I was thinking of wearing them tomorrow for a stroll through the woods to break them in a little. I can't see how I'm going to be able to shift with these things till they're broken in.
    Any tips?

    tonight when you take a shower dump soap allllllllll inside them and wear them in the shower, dry them out and walk around the house in them. do this for about a week then ride your *** off. thats what me and my buddies have always done with riding boots, new wake board bindings, hell even new shoes. best way ive found...next best thing...wear them...all the time...

    Just wear them around the house for about an hour and just walk around, bend your knees every now and then. After a good ride they should be broken in..

    If it's not raining too hard tomorrow, I'm going to take a little walk through the trails behind my house. Maybe I'll take the pruning shears with me and get rid of all those damn pricker bushes that scratch my arms all to hell.
