      @Matt also wondering if you’ve put any oil or conditioner on your roughouts? I’m toying with a little oil to help speed up the break in but worried they’ll get darker

        I haven’t done anything but wear them. I usually don’t mess with stuff like that. I only use boot oil when they need it. I never oil anything else like bets, wallets, waist patches etc. I’m a wash and wear kind of guy. And the washing is infrequent. 😝

          I’m down with that And the longer I’m around here and wear “this” kind of stuff the more I adopt that philosophy. I’ve been wearing the new boots 3-4 hours a day and they’re already feeling much better. Swapped the kilties out too.

            I really think between the thickness/stiffness of the leather and the severity of the arch it's really just a matter of getting used to them. I think they feel better than my stock Jobmasters did when they were new.

              I can already feel a big difference and I’ve only been wearing them a few days. Encouraging that these old feet can still adapt

                Update on breaking in these Cruisers. I’m about 60 hours or so of wear in and they are becoming very comfortable. The prominent arch is no longer a concern. One funny thing is I wore my Iron Rangers after wearing these for a week and the Red Wings felt almost comically light weight compared to the White’s. I may never be able to go back now.

                  So round two with White’s. I ordered a pair of Ramblers from Baker’s when I placed my order for the Cruisers to take advantage of their sale. I figured I would only keep one pair. Now I’m looking to sell all my other boots because both pair are just perfect for me. Also, I tend to overdo things. 😜

                  The Ramblers are a little more comfortable out of the box because of the sole and probably because my foot has been getting used to the 55 last with the Cruisers. Love em both. Highly recommend either pair.

                          I had these MP service boots in natural cxl for sale and no takers after a couple months, so decided I’ll keep them and start wearing. Here’s what they looked like from the factory:

                          Last night I oiled them to help with the break in. I have whites boot oil and apply liberally:

                          Then this morning gave them a good brushing and they are ready to go:

                                I’ve been drooling over the Leaf Green Collection of late. Tis a pity they aren’t currently in the budget. 💚

                                    @Matt back from hibernation and looking great. Still in awe of the deal you got on those.

                                        Baker’s sale started last night — anyone else pull the trigger? @SKT got your eye on anything? I got some Cruisers in cinnamon waxed.
