The break-in period can vary per person but typically ranges from a few weeks to a couple of months of consistent wear. Applying leather conditioner and wearing thick socks can help expedite the process and improve comfort.

Goodyear-welted is a traditional and highly durable shoe construction method. It means the upper, insole, and welt (a strip of leather or plastic) are stitched together, and then the sole is stitched to the welt.

If the squeaking comes from inside, sprinkling a small amount of talcum powder or cornstarch under the insole (if removable) can reduce friction. If it's persistent, it might indicate internal construction, which typically subsides with wear.
