What you’ll need
You will need some materials before you can begin to break in your new horse riding boots. A pair of thick socks, soft cloth, or brush, leather conditioner, as well as a waterproofing agent are all you will need. Your feet will be protected from the boots’ leather by wearing thick socks. You can apply the conditioner to the boots with a cloth or brush. The conditioner and waterproofing agents will soften and make the leather more comfortable.
Breaking In the Boots
Once your materials are gathered, you can begin to break in your boots. Apply a thin coat of leather conditioner to the boots’ entire surface. This will soften the leather and make them more flexible. Use the brush or cloth to apply the conditioner to the leather. This will ensure that conditioner is evenly distributed. Apply a waterproofing agent next to the boots. This will prevent the leather from getting damaged or discolored. The waterproofing agent can be applied to the leather using the same brush or cloth as the conditioner. Put on thick socks and put on your boots. To help the leather mold to your feet, wear them around the house for a while. You will also break in the leather, making the boots more comfortable.
