Softening stiff boots

[Shyheels]

I’ve a pair of tall riding/engineering style pull-on boots (knee height) that I really like a lot. Once I get them on - a bit stiff - they are extremely comfortable, a great fit. Getting them off takes some doing though! It’s why I’d never wear these in an airport where I’d have to take them off in a queue.

I’ve been using dubbin and trying to wear them in, and it is (very slowly) working, but does anyone have good tips or advice for this? I’m sure I can’t be the first person to wrestle with much loved but very stiff knee boots!

My ankles can't make the turn, so I solve that problem by only buying boots with full zippers. Sorry.
