to wear them with the blade covers on around your house. the only way to break them in is to wear them or use the shoe strechers, but you still need to make them form to your feet

During the break-in it will be necessary for you to occasionally stop and retie your boots. This is due to the stretching of the new laces, and the boots conforming to the shape of your foot and ankle. Begin by putting your boots on and lacing them leaving the top two hooks unused. Skate in your boots in this manner for approximately 4 to 6 hours. This time should be accumulated time. For example you may skate the first day for 30min. to and hour and the next day for 1 to 2 hours, your choice. Continue skating until you have accumulated the necessary time. During this time you should not be doing any jumps, spins or other moves that will cause you to do deep knee bending. Next lace your boots leaving only the top hook unused. Continue skating as above for another 4 to 6 hours following the same precautions as above. Now you can lace them all the way to the top if you desire and begin your regular skating routine. This may seem like a waste of time and unnecessary. Your boots may feel very comfortable and you will want to perform all of your regular jumps, spins and routines. What could happen if you do, is your boots can break-down instead of break-in. Lacing your boots all the way up and jumping in them before they break-in puts pressure on the boots ankle support and hooks, causing among other things, the boots to crease in the wrong places. This can also put tremendous pressure on the muscles and tendons of your foot and ankle. Take the time to follow the correct break-in procedures and you will have better performance and fit from your new Boots.

Breaking in My Jackson Elite Supremes, was very hard work (I did it just last week) And they took about 7 days with about 2 hours a day. I get them heat molded (it usually only comes with ridell jackson and spterii) which helps a lot. Then I walk around the house for about an hour(make sure you have hard guards on) And go to the rink to practice basic maneuvers and spins. I couldn't do sit spins for the first few practices but I got them somewhat wearable within the meek.

I hate getting new skates. I always put my guards on at home and just walk around in them for a little while. I also try to go ice skating and just skate around for a little while with my friends with out actually doing any hard skills. And bending your knees a lot helps more than you would think. I Hope That Helps. And I Hope You Feet Don't Hurt Too Much!
