Break them in

• If you are going on a long trip with your new boots, buy them a couple of weeks in advance and wear them on one or two test hikes to break them in. Some of the newer models are not as stiff as the traditional, all-leather ones, but if you aren't used to boots, your feet will appreciate the adjustment time.
