BedBugDougI just bought some new boots after five years of riding boots a size too big. They fit awesome, clamp down on my shins perfectly and really feel like an extension of my legs. First day riding and my feet are numb after a few runs. My old boots didn't do that, but they were a size too big. They are the salomon s/pro 120. Do I need to nut up and tough it out for a few days to break them in, or is this abnormal? I have never had new boots before so looking for advice.
cndrGive em a week or so to break in, then address any issues after that.

neltishThat’s pretty normal in the beginning. They are made out of hard materials, and usually they need a week or something to get comfortable on you. However, if they still hurt after two weeks for example, you might think of changing them, because being comfortable on these things it’s very important. Personally, when I buy stuff like this, I always make sure to read reviews in advance. For example, I recently wanted to buy new shoes, and I searched what are the best suede leather boots and definitely found some good information before actually purchasing them. So, I would advise to do a little more research in the beginning, just to be sure.
