First: Good Luck to class 182, sound off loud, move fast, stay motivated. Second: The new boots should be nothing to worry about, they're essentially ICB's in suede, breaking in should be no prob but cunnilinguist (outstanding username) is right, condition your feet now. I lived in my jungles before going to Jr's this summer, I think I only wore ICB's for graduation, those jungle boots are my best friends now, my feet never complained. With these new boots I would like to stress the importance of conditioning your feet, just one of the many things you can do now to allow you to focus on more important things when you roll up to Brown Field.
