  • sore ankles - ideas anyone?

    has anyone got any tried and tested remedies to soften up boots please? Mr W has a new pair of DM work boots but they are giving him grief trying to break them in, his tried thick socks but even they don't seem to be helping, so I thought i'd ask the very knowledgeable grapes.

    many thanks

      Dubbin works well to soften and waterproof boots. DM even sell their own brand.

            When I was farming I often got sore feet from wearing wellies all day, I used the big elastoplast fabric which came on a strip. Its the movement between foot and boot that causes the abrasion and the elastoplast cushions this. I found once i had worn the patch for a few days and my sore had healed I didn't need them anymore.

              Don't you have any servant that could wear them for a couple of weeks to break them in?
