Tophervw Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 Any one out there have any mystical, cleaver, or little known tricks to breaking in new mountaineering boots. I recently purchased a pair of Vasque Alpine GTX boots for a few climbs this summer, the first of which is Shasta in a few weeks. I have been wearing them around at work; they feel great but am curious what else can be done. My summer hikers are beat to hell but super comfy...I fear the day when they will have to be replaced. Any help much appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archenemy Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 Yes, there is a thread on this from about a month ago. Search and ye shall find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyHarry Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 Fancy modern mountaineering boots don't need to be broken in. I'd go hike in them a few miles on some up and down terrain to see if they give you blisters, hotspots, or other pains. If not, you're good to go.

archenemy Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 Maybe it was more than a month ago. Can someone help out here? I don't remember what the thread was called. Where is that searchbot avatar when you need it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
