Getting them wet should accelerate the process a bit. Even if they're not leather, the fit should improve with use. Boots actually widen and shorten a bit over time. Good luck, you two! I like the music vid. If the boots are leather, they should eventually mold to his feet better. Getting them wet should accelerate the process a bit.

Thanks. And no, his boots were not broken in. His boots are wides and just not wide enough across the bridge of his toe knuckles. We are not sure what to do. He can't keep using those boots on the trip. The blister was not associated with the width though. You rock for knowing what the heck that was, that’s awesome! Thanks.

Sounds (and looks) like you're having a great time. Hey Jason, were those boots broken in?? Blisters can slow you down real quick. You'll heal up fine. Have fun! FYI: the unidentified critter is a whipscorpion. Hey, guys! Sounds (and looks) like you’re having a great time. Hey Jason, were those boots broken in?? Blisters can slow you down real quick.

But we know that there will be countries where things will get more expensive. I think we are going to take advantage when friends join us for a short time during our trip. :) We’ve been doing great with our budget so far (after only 12-days, LOL), so it’s a little tempting to indulge in a nice place for one night.

It was in Vientiane, Laos, which made it a great deal ($40/night). I felt like a King and wondered why I had been so hard on myself up until then. I guess hindsight is 20/20. The new Google Map looks great. 12 days on budget – so disciplined! lol

Water pressure is the bane of the guesthouse though! It's almost worth checking yourself into an upscale place periodically to just benefit from hot showers with great pressure!
