      Will a wash soften up the 666-XHS a bit. Straight out the box they are too tough.

        I don't have experience with 25 oz but I would guess a wash would soften it up a little.

        On an unrelated note, I managed to stretch out the sleeve openings on my type 3 through the use of some graduated glass cups and a little elbow grease….and I'm crazy stoked. The fact that the sleeves were almost cutting off circulation was the only thing I didn't like but now they're perfect 🙂

          It will help, eventually.  However, when they dry they will be crispier than before.  You just have to wear the soft out of them.  After a few hours/days of body heat and perspiration they will be slightly softer than they are now.  But the denim will thank you for the early soak.

            Sacrilege, I know, but what about a tumble with fabric softener?

            Think it, be it.

              Jeff, man up. Wear them regularly and in a month they will feel like sweat pants.

                          They do fit the same was actually thinking the vulcans look like my 666s

                          The vulcans are size 35 the duck devils are 36
                          That is the difference I think

                                    I was expecting the uppers to stay stiff forever; the soles have plenty of stubbornness left (though feel great), but the uppers are just buttery already; laced up high and tight and I can bend the ankle as much and as easily as I want.  I am kind of a fast walker perhaps I break boots in faster than most…
