These boots were made for walking

[cyrano]

So today my new Docs arrived (Before my books! Where the hell are my books?) and I said Gee since I'm not going to the gym today would be an excellent day to start breaking them in. Because I'm a moron. By the time I got to my desk, I'd already broken the skin on both heels, because there's more walking than I'd really thought about.
SO. When breaking in a new pair of boots, I have been told that one should lace them tightly at first, and that one should lace them loosely at first. I no longer know who to believe.
I think I'll just go out and club a moron.
