Broken in is a form of the phrasal verb break in. Because 'broken' is the past participle you would use broken in in a present or past perfect sentence. eg

They have broken in the horse. -- meaning to train a horse

Somebody had broken through the bedroom window. -- meaning to force an entry to a building

I had broken in my new boots before we went hiking. -- meaning to make comfortable

It is possible to use broken in in other tenses as well eg

The shoes were broken in before I got them
