MX boots

I just ordered a pair of the $130 Thor boots. Is there a good way to break in or soften these things up? I've never owned a pair, and it seems they will be almost impossible to shift in when new...... thanks.

I have the same boots (T30's)...I got some KIWI mink oil and coated them (hitting the seams hard) before the first ride. I didn't do anything special to break them in, but after 2 rides the were fine. The only thing I don't like about them so far is that the soles seem to wear far worse than the Sidi's I've always had before.

Knox, ever ride at Windrock? I'm making my first trip Friday. I ride with a crew of ATV's so I'm not sure what I'm getting into. I here the trail are great.

Walk around in 'em for an hour and they'll soften right up.

I bought a pair of T-20's last year and they required almost no breakin time.
The first day riding and walking around in them did it. They are real comfortable too.

I know that you are asking about the T-30's and I don't know if they're different or not. They may be similar. The T-20's were $120.00, so they are in the same price range. Maybe they just stuck a new number on them for '03?

I wouldn't worry about it.

I tried on both (entry level cheapo boots) Thor and Fox fit me the same.

Winrock/Coal River is the only place we go...we usually ride the north side in Lake City though since it seems to have more technical tight stuff. The Oliver Springs side seemed pretty rutted out a month ago from all the rain and ATV masses that turned into a giant bog.
