Alfabus is wrong, you need to get a bunch of your cowboy friends to form a circle and piss on them.
Great minds etc binners...
Backslides, a few windmills in between.
Just stick to Addidas.
And MTFU obviously.
Neatsfoot oil is very good! However IANAC 8)

This is shoe apartheid.

why would hora pissing on his circle of cowboy friends make his cowboy boots soft?
Are you sure they're not too small? 😉
WTF Hora?
If this is shoe apartheid, maybe you need to feel your inner brother... erm... brother

Splashback of course pedants.

Hora - which friend was it? The policeman, the indian, the builder, the cowboy or the biker? 🙂

LOL wrong decade
These the same boots you bought last year?
Is it possible/a technique? to break in cowboy boots relatively quickly without killing your feet??
Nope, not if they're quality ones with all leather construction. Using Mink Oil on the uppers will help, and decent thick insoles to cushion your feet will help.
My cowboy boots have very little (read no) grip on the sole. I retired them after nearly dying walking to work in the snow/ice one year. All my fault, but I could never look at the boots in the same light again. Somehow, I felt they let me down......
DrP

by work do you mean 'street corner'?
😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 etc
Never trust a man who wears high heeled boots.
Cowboy boots? welcome to the 1980s 🙂
Soak them in a bucket of water for 24 hours.
Then we're them 24 hours a day for a week.
(according to "Malcolm in the Middle" this is NOT the best way to break in cowboy boots)

Oh...... PS: you are a fashion conscious time traveller, and I claim my "Now That's what I call Music 2" Double Album.

binners I hope you arent offering me fashion advice. You look like a Pirate who has plundered a a Matalan store 😆

Nice hat Hora.
just like your bike they are 2 sizes small & whatever you do they will never fit.
Has someone got a calendar I can borrow? I keep checking mine, but it definitely says 2012, but this thread is new and seems to be from 1982? There's 30 years I can't account for. Confused
You just have to wear them.
Though getting them wet, then drying them on your feet does help.
Just put your 'shrink to fit' 501 jeans on, and your boots, go for a ride in the forest, dry out in front of the log burner...et voila!!!!
Firstly 😆
Secondly, dubbin all over and then beat with a hide faced hammer all over, (and then you can do something with the boots, (before anyone else says anything))
KY Jelly, you should have some knocking around I'm sure...
Wrestle a few steers, soon break em in...
[u][b]YOU ARE NOT WEARING JEANS AND COWBOY BOOTS TO THAT WEDDING YOU'RE GOING TO ON SATURDAY [/b][/u]
"my friend" bought some from the Alberta Boot Company in Calgary a couple of year ago and I found, I mean he found, that they didn't need much breaking in.
Oh, and MTFU.

How much did your friend pay for them? I might be heading out that way shortly, and I've always had a hankering to buy some boots... for a friend
Can't remember to be honest, however they have boots to cater for all tastes and budgets.
No need to go to Yankeeland for your new boots, saw these for sale in Majorca thanks to Tony Mora [IMG]

aw, man - the snakeskin ones are AWESOME !
Mine, I mean my friend's, are quite dull by comparison:

This is the go-to guy when it comes to Breakin' in Cowboy Boots
technically they are roper boots.
internet pedantry might wear them down.
'salty water, rinse, oil, wear' will break em in.
Shouldn't be any different to breaking in SPDs although you'll need flats
Heavier on the front brakes
Don't lock up the rear (skids are for kids)
HTH 🙂
I WANT those Snakeskin ones. I used to have a pair of Snakeskin shoes back in the early nineties.. along with a RED Yoji Yamamoto suit. Sheesh.
Pook you are a Cowboyist 😥 bah!
Are they regular cowboy boots or "Mexican" cowboy boots?
[img] 
[/img]
you'll be needing a codpiece to go with those Maxican ones for the proper medieval look.
I was thinking of Blackadder the first as well 8)
The Black Russian?
Same way as normal boots ? Wear them for 20 mins to identify where they hurt your feet. Big fabric plasters on those bits of your feet. Thickish pair of socks and wear them around the house for a few hours at a time, gradually building up.
(scans post quickly for unintentional double-entendre, is satisfied)
I have a mighty fine pair of cowboy boots, but mine are black high-heeled and snakeskin with loads of metal studs so more of a goth-cowgirl hybrid.
And for the record, cowboy boots are cool, always have been cool, always will be cool. Except in the 80s when they became fashionable.
Pook you are a Cowboyist
Not Cowboyist - just Fake Cowboyist. A bit like Fakengers and their fixies and statement tattoos.
A real cowboy would just know how to break in his boots wouldn't he?
So what you need is a real cowboy to break them in for you ?? (don't we all)
A Cowboyenger? Actually it'd be a Cowboyder?
do you tuck your jeans in the tops Mark? i bet that looks fantastic. especially with your check shirt tucked in and stretched over your paunch.
ranch casual for the sartorially challenged.
A real cowboy would probably break them in by having them stampeded by a herd of cattle
What do you need to break them in for? You're only going to be walking from Via Fossa to Cruz 101?

Anyone under the age of 60 who does that should be taken out and shot in the back of the head.

All the rage in Manto*.
*I'm old and don't go out anymore, so Manto may not be such a great cultural reference... not that I ever went. 😳
I do what hels suggests. I've just bought a pair of German army boots, really nice thick leather and leather lined, but where they crease across the toes they press on my feet, so I just fold up some kitchen roll or thin cloth into a pad and put it into my sock where the pressure is. Works a treat.
you want breaking in if you wear cowboy boots
Compede blister stickers helped with proper manly work boots.
This is the first of 6 threads
the second will be 'what moustache shape looks most manly?'
the third will be 'anyone know of any bars in manchester where likeminded hairy guys hang out?'
the fourth will be 'advice please, me and the mrs arent getting on, theres just no chemistry'
the fifth will be 'what lubricant to remove zak's action man figure i accidentally sat on?'
the sixth will be 'which water wings for moving in with michael barrimore?'
^ 😆 ^
This truly is the thread that keeps on giving.
The same could be said of Hora, or any of the gentlemen he meets in Cruz 101. Depending on whose turn it is to be 'daddy'
Binners sure knows a lot about this Cruz 101 place...

Cheers, that 'place' is now registered in my google/browser history. Soon google will send me ad's for facials.
Slowrider it'll be Movember again soon as well..

are you actually going to raise some money this time? or just grow a pair of buggery handles and hope you blend in with all the charitable types like last year?
