My buddy is telling me to keep trying to break them in and possibly soak them in water and work them in... I've never had to do this before but I'll give anything a try. lol

yeah, saw the sale pics and see they were worn previously ... boots will keep shape to the PO's foot/leg until worn for a while again ... can def try soaking in warm water and walking around for a while. not convenient, especially in cold weather, but may force some shape change.

I suppose it's worth a try. Thanks everyone for the help!
Re: Gaerne SG12 / Sidi Crossfire 3 / Alpinestar Tech 10 in size 8.5 - 9
Any local shops near Boston that carry Gaerne?

Walked around the house in the boots for 30 minutes last night and it does seem to be breaking in. There is hope after all!

Put it on the boot dryer or just hair dryer to heat it up, then wear it around the house. It'll help speed up the process

Great idea! I'm also considering the "shower technique". LOL

Not necessarily "near" Boston but I am fairly certain that Freedom Cycle in Concord NH usually has a selection of Gaerne items

Ok. How do you pronounce Gaerne?
Re: Gaerne SG12 / Sidi Crossfire 3 / Alpinestar Tech 10 in size 8.5 - 9
Gar-neigh
Would be how I have learned it is pronounced
