New Combat Boots

[M.Gilbert]

I just joined 1RNBR in Fredericton and was issued 2 pairs of the old leather hard rubber soul Mark 3's.  Since I've only had them on for about 72 hours they are still very stiff.  My senior officer recommended the hot water method so I think I'll give it a shot.  The boots fit fine and I'm using the issue black cotton and green wool socks together.  But they do seem to pinch around the top of the foot. 

I just realized this is an old post but I'll still report back with how I made out.  I'm definitely going to pick up a pair of "good" insoles.  Any recommendations on which brand of insoles?
