NDC boots -- will these flatten out?

Will these boots flatten out with wear, or will they always have that curve/bend on the toe box? thanks!

They flatten out some when you wear them and won't look as severe as that pic unworn as well.

the toes flatted about 80% after the first couple of wearings. i wear my brogues both with denim and suits; you dont really notice the curled toe with a suit.

Brian, I wish you hadn't sold out of your stock of ndc boots!!! That being said, does anyone know where I can get any of last season's boots; Ive tried all of their stockists, as well as ebay.I'm looking for something in a Zip or Chelsea style, in brown leather. Thanks in advance

Just found this old thread - is the flattening out a general rule for all shoes with bent toe? I've been eyeing a pair of suede boots with a turned up toe, but i really feel it's too much, do they always go down with wear?

which do you think is more likely - that the shoes flatten out, or that toes get permanently bent upwards?

Hi, I noticed you were looking for a brown pair of n.d.c. zip boots. I bought a pair a while ago from Barney's and I have never worn them and don't think I ever will. I paid about $500 for them but if you're interested I'd give them to you for $250? They are a size 41, so if you are anything between a 9.5 and an 10.5 these will fit you. They are brand new, and have been sitting in their dustbags in the box since I bought them. If you are interested please let me know. Also, if you would like to see a picture of them I can send you one. Thanks, and I hope to hear from you.

Yes they do flatten out. Mine completely flattened out after one wear and some polish.
