Timberland Nellie Chukka Double WP Boot

I was so excited when I opened the box & saw my “Tims” They’re a rich color & looked amazing. As I tried them on, I noticed they were very stiff & painfully tight. I attempted to walk around, to get a feel for them after I laced them up. But the vice-grip they had on my feet wasn’t allowing it. I could barely stand or walk in them at all. I was certain I would return them. I was disappointed because I really wanted to keep them. The next day I found an effective & easy way to break in your Timberland boots, so that they conform to your feet. This is important so that you don’t get blisters or painful rubbing. Squeeze your boots on with your thickest pair of Socks. Walk around for a few hours indoors. (At first, it may be pretty uncomfortable. It may pinch or even hurt. Don’t give up! This will slowly go away the longer you wear them & heat them.) While wearing boots schedule a couple of blow drying sessions. Take a blow dryer, in a HOT setting and direct the blast of hot air towards the areas where you feel discomfort and/or pinching, for 20 seconds. (Don’t worry. The heat will not damage or discolor the leather! It will safely stretch the leather:) Walk around immediately after each of the blow dryer sessions. Be sure to allow the areas that are heated to cool off before removing the boots! (I highly recommend a visit to Timberland website, as they have several recommendations on how to safely stretch & conform their boots. Don’t try any alterations to your new boots without personally researching them first.) It took me 3 hours & about 4-blow dryer, hot air applications to adequately break in my boots. This really worked! My boots looked slightly creased & conformed into the shape of my feet. However, the color looked brand new. Now they fit like they were made for just for me!
