Going for a walk in my riding boots

I drove out into the countryside this morning, wearing my riding boots, and went for a short walk. This was the first time I had worn the boots outside (apart from in my garden). It was also the first time I had driven my car while wearing the boots. I've been wearing the boots for over 12 hours so they had softened up wonderfully so they weren't too stiff to drive in.

The tops of the boots had started to feel a bit tight around the knee/upper calf but not uncomfortably so. The sole had gone quite soft and I could feel the difference between the heel and the rest of the sole. It felt a bit strange, pressing into the bottom of my foot.
