Breaking in Redwing 875's

I have just taken delivery of the Redwing 875 boots. My first time out I felt I was walking in diving boots! Because I paid so much and loved the style I decided to persevere.

I developed cuts on both legs where the top of the boot is folded over on the inside. After liberal applications of mink oil and soap the edges have softened. No dowsing the boots in hot water!

They now fit like gloves!

Has anyone else had the same problem and how did you overcome it?
