Breaking in new shoes

My mother told me yesterday that when she was growing up, every new pair of shoes had to be broken in. I guess that means every new pair of shoes she had was nicer than all of the shoes I’ve owned to date, because this is my first ever (yes, it’s true) pair of shoes that have to be broken in - and presumably my first pair designed to last more than a year.

And I’m getting somewhere. I’ve already started to feel them getting more comfortable, after a day and a half of wear. I’m just glad I don’t have to do this very often! This morning I was taking veeerrry small steps.
