Breaking in Celeris boots?

[Muddywellies]

I've had my Celeris boots for a couple of years now and they are worn several times a week. However they still rub me raw around my ankle where they have dropped slightly and creased. I knew Celeris took a while to break in but this just isn't getting any better. Any tips ??

Not celeris but I had a mountain horse pair that were lethal the only way I managed to get past it was wearing them around the house doing housework mainly, and just doing short bits of walking around in them before I could properly ride in them.

I've had mine 2 years and can still only do short rides in them they are taking an age to break in compared to my other ones which are so comfy.

Not much help but I’ve had three pairs of long Celeris boots and none have needed any breaking in! Have you asked Celeris for their advice?

Yes, and was told by them to tap it from the inside gently with a hammer. I've tried, but can't manoeuvre a hammer in the ankle part of the boot as it's too narrow . Strange thing is I've got other pairs of Celeris boots and they don't cripple me like this pair.

Are they the same style of boot? I wonder if the measurements might be a bit off? Mine didn't take any breaking in...

Yep, all the same style. I guess some leathers are more rigid than others. I just wish these would hurry up and get comfortable as I now have shares in Elastoplast !

The blister plasters are good if you know where to stick em.

No suggestions for the breaking in, but when I had a pair that did a similar thing I used a couple of turns of vetwrap around my ankles- cheaper that going through reams of plasters!
