No, this isn’t the best way to wash your boots. However, @lamontcaldwell says it’s the first step to break in military boots. He tweeted to “jump in the shower in ‘em” yesterday evening along with the picture above.

But before you blindly follow his advice, do check out some additional resources. According to eHow, the first step to breaking in boots is to wear them around the house. Essortment agrees with eHow’s advice because testing the boots at home will prevent typical wear and tear.

I have found that breaking in a pair of boots is to get them wet and wear them at home until dry. Typically, you get them wet at 7 am and wear them until 6 pm at night. Then you let them dry the rest of the way for 24 hours. They will then be wearable at that point the rest of the way.
