MX boots need breaking in

[Kenny]

Not sure where to ask this..so....

I have a pair of moto cross boots which I like a lot and fit perfect except they are just a little tight on the instep of the shin. What is the best way to 'stretch' this or break them in?

Maybe...

Soak in hot water and make love in 'em

Olive oil etc etc

Cheers

Kicking the crap out of local scrotes whilst wearing them normally does the trick

Sounds daft but wear them in the bath then walk about in them for a bit ,then stuff them with paper and let dry away from radiator mate. Raced motocross for years found this the best way.. tried alot of stuff but this works best..

Sounds a bit daft, but what Merlin said is probably as good a way as any.

One of our neighbours, when I was a kid, was an ex-England rugby league full-back & his 2 kids & I used to play together. One day, their dad walked past the doorway of the bedroom we were playing in..... stark bollock naked except for a towel over one arm, a newspaper in his hand & his new rugby boots on his feet.... He then announced to the whole house, that he was going for a bath & marched off to the bathroom with his shoulders back & chest out like he was marching across a parade ground. We nearly pissed ourselves laughing but he swore by it as a way to break in a new pair of boots.

Levver or Plastic ??

Thanks guys...( they are leather with re-inforced plastic guards over them).

Looks like a hot bath in them ...then a shag in them before kicking the living daylights out of some scrote who happens to walk past.
I'll need a beer by then so I'll take 'em off and stuff them with newspaper afterwards


Thanks

Pop over to mine for a ride again, we'll soon 'break' them in

I only bought them because you tried to kill me

Used to know a sergeant who swore that urine was more effective than hot bath water......but bewarned, this WILL make your boots smell.

we buried jack boots in the manure heap to make them supple worked a treat it gets very hot in there, leave them for a few hours

Take it you live alone then

A serious answer....

I found that my Sidi Flexforce SRS were improved by getting them soaked inside and out, then treating them with Aqueous Nikwax. Yes, I know they're made out of Lorica rather than leather but it certainly softened the Lorica around the ankes which helped with articulation of the foot and didn't compromise the level of protection that the boots offer because of their exo-skeleton.

As ever.....ymmv.

Is this some new perversion I have yet to hear about?
Chatted a girl up at a race once, she thought I was a bit of a hunk, until I took my body armour off.
Watch the steel bits around the toe area, they may rip your sheets/carpet/scrotum if you're not careful.

Well I peed all over the missus and then buried her in the dung heap....then re-read the advice given ...so dug her out and started again !!

Your right...caught me flamin' scrotum in the highest buckle ( must be more careful) flippin painful hopping out of bed with my leg attached to me nether region . She did say I was hung like a....

Anyway wife has left me ( she did ming a bit though ) and left via the front door ( stepping over the still concussed scrote whom I'd laid into earlier in the day ) .....but was subsequently arrested for being a smelly Lady of the night !!

So....I think a good soaking and some Aqueous Nikwax...then I can ride comfortablty to the divorce lawyers office
