Said it made for the most comfortable boot ever because it would be form fitted to the foot and ankle. I was never brave enough to try it. Mine break in time usually take weeks. I keep my old pair with me and change when I can't stand it anymore. Eventually the new pair is as comfortable as the old.
I've done this … it works …. but after they've dried you (I had to) have to treat them with mink oil/Sno-Seal ™ or some other product to keep them from drying out too badly and cracking
