Really, only way is to wear.

In 1990, or so, I had a new pair of answer boots and went out for a ride with all my new buds in AK. Right out of the gate we had a water crossing and I was rather upset that I got both feet wet! The ride continued on and that afternoon when the ride was done I realized my boots were extremely comfortable and fully broke in! I'v gone thru several pairs since, including some tech 10's, which I consider a great boot, but I still have this old pair of answer boots cause they are still usable and comfortable enough to wear to church!
Personally, when I break in new boots, I look for water and then ride them dry!

thanks good ideaI also like this method.
Bring a few pairs of dry socks, nothing worse than trench foot at the end of a long ride. -BIG DAN
I have a really new set of 5 year old tech 8's. I am more apt to wear the 7's or the 3's really. I just feel like I have to have my feet on the ends of the pegs with the 'wide ones'. then if you get somewhere and you want to walk or climb up something. hell, I still wear the highpoints I bought when they started making them again in the late 90's. Booties are kind of nice, but you need to start early to get them on your feet.

I never wear socks just the boots, just because my boots almost always get wet. but I agree with verdell, get those boots soaked and wear for a while.
