...'heat your boot before applying it'.

Good idea. It may be easier to heat the oil- thats what I do for cleaning saddles; put it in a small jar/glass container and nuke it for a min (not so much that you'll burn fingers when applying it). But there again, oil thats too hot will actually damage leather fibers.
Another trick for breakin' them in- old cowboy trick- just wear them while you walk in some water(like a shallow stream or whatever) - then they will soften/ stretch a little n' comform to your feet better.

My point was that water is water, go use the water hose outside.

When I got snowed in earlier this week and got stuck at the Flying J in Sullivan, MO for a day and a half, I wore my Lacrosse insulated rubber boots that I also use for hunting to walk around in the snow and ice. Every one over there kept telling me I was lucky. Hell…I put them in the truck a couple of trips ago after I had to go barefooted in Virginia Beach to hook up to a trailer because the lot I was picking up in at the time was flooded. Now…I’m glad I did!

Oh no! You're not a real trucker unless you wear flip-flops! Not to mention the filthy sleeveless t-shirt with your belly hanging out from under it and baggy shorts that ride up your cra.., oh, wait... that was unmentionable. Don't worry, I won't mention it again. :roll:

Can the trucking industry just start over again with human beings at the wheel instead of the scrum of our society? :evil: :roll:

Cowboy boots for me.....Double H is my brand of choice.

Aeroglide 7 soles are the best thing to ever happen to poopkickers....feels like wearing a sneaker. Regular treatments with mink oil and water repellant on the sole stitching ensures a long life. My current pair has lasted me for 2 years, and that's saying something. Most of that time was hauling heavy equipment(mud, stone, snow)....they're about due for new heelpads, but that's it.

I just quietly shake my head at the attire of some of our driving "brethren"......house slippers, cutoff sweatpants, dirty white t-shirts. I remember a time when the professional driver was one of the most neatly attired individuals out there.....button-down western-style shirts, clean jeans, and boots with a good shine on'em......what happened?
