I grew up with $20 walmart blenders, and hated anything that required a blender.

Recently bought a ninja and there is no going back. I'll never use a crappy blender again.

Anything else like that?

What are you supposed to do to break them in? Mine cut into my feet like hell

Just wear them. The leather softens from use. If they're dry and stiff, put some leather conditioner on the underside. Maybe you have them too tight. And maybe they're just not for you.

I went to a furry convention and spent the whole con wearing the birks with thick socks underneath.

I looked goofy as hell, but by the end of the con they were all worn in.

One thing that can help as well is rubbing a little oil into the leather wherever it makes hot spots on your feel to soften the leather a touch.
