boot break-in

[johnh]

I finally got a new pair of mountaineering boots (Vasque Super Alpinista). Is there any kind of break-in I need to do to these boots?

That depends. Do you usually get blisters from new boots or do you have feet of steel?

Take them for a moderate hike. If they give you blisters try wearing them around the house and work to break them in. If they don't give you a problem, take a bigger or steeper hike. I find that the steeper the trail the more that the boots will irritate my feet.

you definately need to break your foot in.
