stuff them with balls of socks or newspaper.

Also let the leather warm up so it can stretch and then wear them around the house

the best way to break them in is simply to wear them as much as possible, so many people save a pair of boots just for shows and they never get broken in properly

Try and wear them for 30 mins or more everyday and put on lots of dubbin to soften the leather especially around the ankle area.

It doesn't take long and they will feel lovely.

P.S. Don't over do it the 1st few times and cripple yourself.
