I got a pair of Alden chukkas (not the unlined suede ones, but the fully lined leather ones on the barrie last with the rubber lug soles). The back of the chukka digs into the back of my ankle like a razor and causes terrible blisters. Is there a way I can speed up the break in process? (Soak the back of the boots in water to soften the leather? Twist the back of the boots with vise grip pliers to break the leather fibers and soften the leather?) Or is this chukka simply not compatible with my feet?
