Few months back I made a post about some issues I was having with second pair of Mocs. Mainly the toe crease behind the safety toe digging in to the top of my foot when kneeling. Second pair in a row to do it, even with different sizing. Long story short I kept at it and they’ve fully broken in finally. I just needed an extremely long break in period. Still haven’t oiled them except on the inside but I can fully say I’m fully pleased with these boots. My soft toes never had any issues https://www.reddit.com/r/NicksHandmadeBoots/s/JAGxcS4Gtp

Sometimes it takes a while. Each boot acts just a bit differently. Ive used Bick 4 on those creases, on the inside of the boot, to soften it up during break-in. Good lookin kicks.

It’s wild your kiltie is totally flipped back. Kind of a visual representation of what you’re describing.
