# How to Soak Work Boots in Water to Break Them In
Leather boots can be stiff when they are new, to the point where they abrade the skin of your feet and cause blisters. While you can break in your boots by wearing them constantly, this can be uncomfortable for weeks. Use warm water to soak your boats, a process which increases their comfort and helps you wear them more easily.

Empty out the water.

Put on a pair of socks. Ideally, they will be the type of socks you intend to wear with those shoes.
