How can one soften a new pair of shoes?
If the shoes are leather, you can saddle soap them, but consider this with caution. Saddle soap can discolor the leather, and if they are not good quality, such treatment may damage them. If they are inexpensive, do as soldiers do: fill the shoes with as hot water as you can stand, insert your feet, and wear them until they dry. Of course if you do this when the weather is wet or cold, you stand a chance of developing a case of Trench foot. The only other option you have is to wear them until they break in.
