How to break in new shoes

So, after what feels like years talking about it, I've finally got around to ordering some new shoes.

Under Armour Infinity

They should arrive later in the week, but I'm now thinking about how I should plan my runs in order to safely and comfortably break them in.

You don't need to break running shoes in. Just wear them around the house for a few days to make sure they're comfortable and you can still send them back if they aren't.

I got some Mizuno Hyate trail shoes and the shop warned me they’d feel stiff at first. He was right but they wore in just fine. I’d always thought they were all good to go right out the box 😃

I think trail shoes should be a bit stiff!?
