i bought a pair of long broginis about a year ago but find them very stiff so its putting me off wearing them,ive walked round the house in them and ridden in them once but they are still quite uncomfortable!any ideas?
its getting to the point im thinking a pair of smary jod boots n gaiters would be more comfy but would they look as good for showing??

A friend gave me some Ko-Cho-line to rub into the ankle of my new Sarm Hippique's. I've not ridden in them yet, but it's suppled them enough. Before, I wear them at a show I will ride in them for at least a week so they drop at the ankle and give.

I used to oil mine and stuff them full of newspaper for about a week, then started wearing then and carried on stuffing them/oiling them at night....... it didn't take long for them to supple up  |

I had a pair of broginis and i used effax leather balsam its great stuff might take a few coats but it really does the trick and wear them round the house even if your doing house hold jobs etc!

I wore mine everyday & when I rode at home for about 2 months. Over a year on & they're still very stiff.  |

I wore mine around the house for a few days, then rode in them for about 5 days.. and then wore them at a competition and they are super comfy! Maybe I'm just lucky  |

Just rub it in the ankle doesn't take much. Your post reminded me to start wearing mine today. I can walk comfortably in them now after Ko Cha Lineing them. They've polished up beautifully, and I can't wait until my horse is back work after his hols and I can start wearing them to break in whilst riding |
