use these for a while. You can also try wearing them out in the rain to help the leather get softer

Took delivery of some Dr Martens shoes last week, wore them Saturday for an hour or so but the bleeding on my heels was too great to carry on.
Any tips for softening the backs? (HTFU twice daily, obvs)
I've not worn DM shoes for years and had forgotten the agony of breaking then in.
(Have a few pairs of boots and had no dramas with them)
