Of course, the thing with new boots is that they have to be worn in.

I could do this by wearing them for three days straight and going hiking, but that leads to blisters and soreness, so I'd like to avoid it if possible.

The other alternative is to wear them for a couple of hours every day, for about a week (or possibly a bit more).
This is a good strategy, and I approve of it.

Of course, I can't wear them for a couple of hours in the middle of the day, because I'm at work. So I've been putting them on in the evenings, and wearing them round the house.

Please, take a moment to picture me, folding laundry, wearing flannel pyjamas and bright red boots...
