I recommend getting boots at least a month before I-day. wear them around like they were your normal shoes, and do a few 5mile jogs with them. They’ll feel really nice when you inprocess, because they will be broken in and adjusted to your feet. My black Bellevilles gave me one or two blisters, but that was at home. By the time BCT rolled around, my boots felt better than the athletic shoes I was issued. (Then again, those issued court shoes still make my feet hurt…?!)
