Dr Martens Jadon Boots | HOW TO BREAK IN FAST! NO HEAT 🙅‍♀️❌

[@eyerey]

You’re a savior!! I just got my first pair two days ago and they are excruciating to wear right now 😭😭 thank you so much

[@jentendo64]

You’re welcome ! Once you break them in it will be easy peezy to wear~ I’m glad these tips helped ^^

[@stinejohansen4125]

I just got the Jadon for Christmas from my husband, I'm SO HAPPY! He even bought the balm! Thanks for great tips, I'll try do everything you said and hopefully the break im wont be to painful. ❤

[@jentendo64]

Amazing 😻!! The balsam really really really helped! Once you break those bad boys in, you will absolutely love them ~!

[@darrens7040]

As a Doc wearer from the early 80s I can highly recommend the Balsam or if you want to go old school put them on go and walk thru a river and wear em til they dry.

[@jentendo64]

Yes ! I loved the Balsam trick! It worked so so well for me . I was very apprehensive at first because I for some reason was worried this Would give me more blisters . But nope! I wear these boots with THIN ankle socks with absolutely NO PAIN! I had to wear 2-3 thick pairs and it would be so painful and so much blisters . But now I can say they’re just as cozy and comfy as any other shoe. These are my go-to shoes !!!

[@wen2906]

Ohh I use the method you recommended for my new jadon break in, it really works so well!!!

[@jentendo64]

Im so glad !! Yes ! I broke mine in completely and I had to share the method since the whole double sock and blowdrying method doesn’t work for everyone ! Glad it worked for you !!!!

[@chinatownboy7482]

Over the years, I've had many pairs of Dr. Martens. Just use mink oil. Allow time to dry. Brush. Repeat. After a few weeks of oiling, the leather fibers will soften.

[@jentendo64]

that's also another great tip! I think on my next pair I will implement this method since I know they are always needing to be broken in!

[@chinatownboy7482]

@jentendo64 Auntie, I do that with all of my shoes. The oil will condition the leather. The shoe will last longer.

[@mchen2779]

Thank you for the tips! I have the boom and didn’t know you can put inside the shoe!! I will give it a try.

[@jentendo64]

It worked well for me ! I would still suggest breaking them in and walking around at home first before going out for long periods of time ! I hope it helps 😁

[@lauralangham9657]

I recommend the 1461 shoes but only if they are 'Made in England'. if they are made in any other country I don't feel that the quality is the same.

[@jentendo64]

Absolutely have to be authentic ! They’re a bit pricey. But the quality and longevity absolutely make it worth it . Love the docs so much!

[@jaralol]

docs are just timeless 😍

[@jentendo64]

Absolutely! Definitely going to get my hands on more pairs ~! Fall is the perfect season to wear them to !

[@jaralol]

@@jentendo64 yeah!

[@soulxstone]

You should do a new video on the pair that you got from you friend !

[@jentendo64]

This actually is the pair I got from my friend! But I’m thinking of doing a review or a new video on my new shoes I got! I definitely will consider posting it 😁

[@soulxstone]

@ you should do it ! and even do a *2 years after* review on the pair you did this video ! I recently got a pair of 1490’s w/ buckles on the side but they’ve been a pain breaking in lately, thank you for the video !

[@Ohkeh640]

Can you do a styling video wearing jadons? Does the balsam darken the boots ? Will it make the boots shiny

[@jentendo64]

The boots will not darken from the balsam! Of course you don’t want to put too much or it leaves a film (little goes a looong way) it makes me booty nice and shiny ✨ That’s a great idea btw! I should definitely style the boots for fall since I do love cozy fall fashion ✨

[@Sereenpower]

Looking at this because I can't get the Wednesday collab out of my head. Is the wonder balm dry enough that you won't feel like you have your socks in vaseline? Thats kind of what I'm scared off lol. I have a pair of Sinclair's (Nappa leather) that I still wear with a paste in cushion patch for the ankle and double socks just to be safe (and I had to take out the zippers because of that which is very sad)

[@jentendo64]

It’s not greasy at all! I was WORRIED at first trying this method . But the sales lady at the store told me to use the product lightly (don’t drench or use a glob of this) just a very little amount . Little goes a looooooong way! To ensure this I would put a thin layer and even wait a few minutes before putting it on . But it worked fantastic for me ! I would get blisters like crazyyyy to where I almost wanted to see if I could exchange them . But this method worked for me and now they’re my go-to boots ✨🫧

[@Adam_Hakim_FP]

Great vid, I bought the 1461 Oxford made in England version, my first pair ever, I'm usually a UK 9 but in these the 9 were massive and because they don't do half sizes I had to get size UK8, they fit but my god they are so tight and uncomfortable, I just ordered the Wonder balsam, there's no way I'm wearing them raw to break them in 😂

[@jentendo64]

Trust I know ! I’m a size 8 and have always been a size 8. Never had any issues with any type of show until these ! The amount of blisters I got 😭😭😭! I swear that wonder balsam worked like magic for me ! But I promise after the break-in period , you’ll LOVE those shoes . My docs are my ultimate fav pair of all time and still look brand new !

[@Adam_Hakim_FP]

@@jentendo64 did you get the 1461? If haven't then there's a 1461 bex version, my wife has them they are like the normal Oxford's but chunkier

[@Ohkeh640]

I sized down in my jadon boots too

[@Ohkeh640]

Did you break them in with balsam?

[@neur]

I dont understand how you can actually wear them with the loose cords =o If i don't tighten them properly my feet will dance inside (will slip up and down at each step and cause sore skin due to that)

[@jentendo64]

Usually I think it’s because I actually wear thick socks, so they’re typically very snug and fit well. So whether they’re loose or not, my feet are always perfectly comfortable because I use again thicker socks (men’s! So they can last longer) but also I’ve broken these shoes and so much that they’re extremely and completely comfortable! No issues at all. They feel like I’m wearing house slippers honestly now since I’ve been wearing them consistently. These are my go to go-to shoes! I highly recommend getting men’s socks in conjunction with these shoes it does make a huge difference for me. Hope this helps🌷☁️!!

[@thaynasampaio2970]

I just can’t seem to wear them for more than 2 hours without feeling excruciating pain. They are the right size and broken in… any tips? I’m almost giving up.

[@jentendo64]

I used the wonder Balsam and it worked like magic for me . I would try doing that , putting it on the inside more frequently. Wearing them just to walk around your neighborhood for a week or Two. That way you can break them in without wearing them for long periods of time

[@kookyrt]

New subscriber!!!! Thanks for the helpful tips- im going to try my mink oil/balm that i bought for my leather jackets. 😅 I just purchased the Jadons and the Mollys both super thick platform soles❤❤

[@jentendo64]

Welcome!! AND WELCOME to the channel 🤩!! I'm so glad the tips helped ! I broke mine in completely and definitely want another doc pair ! I swear by the oils/balms ! No more blisters and scuffing ~!

[@symmetricalastic]

Do you know if you can use that on the nubuck Jadons? I bought mine on Zappos. I have had the 1461 vegan ones for six years. They’re great shoes

[@jentendo64]

That’s great! I didn’t know , I actually want MORE doc martens since they’re such amazing shoes . I’ve had mine for years and I am rough when I wear them. They last so so long . Definitely worth the price tag~ I’ll have to check out Zappos since I do want a good deal on my next pair

[@symmetricalastic]

@@jentendo64they have great customer service. I have been ordering from them since 2013.

[@rjsagisi6511]

Does the tongue slides to the side? I really hate mine its so annoying.

[@jentendo64]

Yes ! The Tongue on my left shoe always does . I HATE IT , but my friend bought the same pair and no problem . I think it’s an error . I usually just wear black so it’s not noticeable . But honestly sucks because I love to wear white socks with these boots

[@NatblidaAscende]

Late reply haha but I read you can also lace the top hole behind the tongue then tie in front and it'll hold the tongue in place.

[@jellyfish1781]

Can you put the balsm inside on the tongue area?

[@jentendo64]

I would put it anywhere you feel discomfort on your feet. If you put it on the tongue I would put only a little bit. Don’t drench it. Put majority inside the shoe and whatever left over on the tongue . Hope this helps !!

[@nikiris6701]

Did you end up doing a 1461 break in video? Would love to see :)

[@jentendo64]

I wish! Those shoes have been out of stock! Then when they’re in stock I end up spending on something else 😅😅! But I do eventually want these ! I think it would look so cute with skirts or dresses 🫶

[@Ohkeh640]

@@jentendo64update?

[@jennieapplehead]

i have the same pair for almost 5 years now and I only wear them once 😢

[@jentendo64]

Oh nooo! I wear these constantly during the winter /fall! I swear breaking them in really works to make me wear them more . Plus, I always think these shoes look so so so cute with blue (medium/dark) bootcut jeans or even cargo jeans . They go together so so well~

[@christinaoathisfeet5554]

Could you use the balm all over the inside of the shoe like also towards the toe area?

[@jentendo64]

Yes ! I just wouldn’t drench it . I used some on the inside near the heel (where I get blisters) and it really really helped . I would wipe most of it on the shoe and the rest on the inside ! Hope this tip helps !

[@lizzzzzzzalica]

Will it also work with fur-lined? Because right now I havw a feeling like I'm wearing two anchors 😢

[@jentendo64]

I wouldn’t recommend with fur line since it might make the fur all stiff ! I would recommend asking a doc martens sales associate online or at the store to see if it’s safe on fur-lined shoes . Or even how to break in fur-lined shoes. Hope this helps !

[@batman-m4d]

Do they crese on the toes?

[@jentendo64]

Not at all for me ! This boot is so strong that it doesn’t crease at all on these platforms . But the con is it can be uncomfortable for the toe area since it is so stiff . Also they’re very heavy boots . But for the fall time they’re perfect and applying the balsam helps with the comfort for me . Hope this helps !

[@Ohkeh640]

Wish you showed us how you apply the wonder balm inside the boot

[@jentendo64]

Around 4:30 I actually do ! I demonstrated by applying inside the boot as well as outside . I used an generous amount of product to really break in the shoes !

[@stephanie201091]

Apply a good layer of the balm everywhere on the boot, put 3-4 pairs of thick socks on then tie the boots as tight as you can literally until you can feel a pulse in your foot then walk around your house and in one day they’ll be broke in 🙂

[@jentendo64]

YESS !!!! I love this comment because it gives people other options 💖

[@stephanie201091]

@@jentendo64 yes! Because some people get pain at the back and some people get pain at the front. My advice would also be to size down if you can and stretch the boot so that they’re not too big and rubbing your heal, I feel like it’s better to deal with the pain stretching them at the front than being cut to shreds from them rubbing at the back x

[@stephanie201091]

@@jentendo64 I also love the pisa leather x

[@lisaharris2307]

Great video... Interested in seeing more doc marten videos please..

[@jentendo64]

Thank you’! If I get my nail pair I definitely will do a review 😁!

[@rositasabino3296]

I want to order that same size online. What centimeters is It?. Please answer me. I don't want to have to return them.

[@jentendo64]

I actually do not know the sizing to Centimeters ! On the doc martens website they do not list Centimeters . But I personally am a Women’s US size 8 and they fit perfect . I would highly recommend checking the sizing chart on doc martens website for extra clarification! Hope this helps !

[@Ohkeh640]

The new Jadons aren’t shiny anymore they are ugly and matte Thoughts?

[@jentendo64]

Using the balsam really helps keep my boots shiny ! Some parts are Matte because I wear them so much during the fall I scuffed them 🥲. But overall the balsam will help shine them up! But I prefer a little matted since it helps them look more grunge and worn in !

[@FollowTheCloud]

I wear my docs to church too 😅

[@jentendo64]

Nothing wrong with that 😁!

[@LingDuck]

Me too😂😂😂

[@warthhoh]

Beautiful video xd

[@jentendo64]

Thank you very much ! Hope this video helps 😸

[@Ohkeh640]

Wish I saw this before I bought my shoes 5min ago! But my order is placed so I can’t buy the shoe polish ugh… I bought Jadon boots years ago accidentally 1 size down so I gotta sell those on eBay as I just placed an order for my correct size.

[@jentendo64]

I absolutely recommend purchasing at Amazon just because returns are free! I recommend trying them on at any doc martens store or journeys shoe store (any place that sells the shoes). To try on for your correct size before placing the order , I hope this helps 😁!

Birth-mas? Christmas baby?

[@jentendo64]

January Baby! Since it's so close, everyone counts my Christmas and bday gift as one 😅!

[@Ohkeh640]

I’m going to cut a panty liner and stick it on the back of the boot lol

[@jentendo64]

I tried adding padding and omg it just moved around so much . I gave up. I even tried putting band-aides on the back of my heel nothing worked Except the balsam I used

Only drmateenboots not caterpi or bottimbe

Doc marten boots are my fav and ONLY boots I’ll ever buy!
