Bargain!

Still trying to bring myself to break in a pair of oxblood Loakes I bought off here. They look great but stiff as ****.

Do itttttt...!

You can use cobbler’s cream rubbed into the inside (the inner leather sock of the shoe). Leave it overnight, wear them around the house an hour or two at a time. The cream does the same job as foot sweat, which is a key ingredient in breaking in shoes well.

I've worn them round the house a few times, starting slowly.
