Gear reviews skip over how long new boots take to feel good

It took weeks of walking before my hiking boots stopped hurting, and that wait isn't in any review I read.

Wait WHAT, they never talk about breaking them in for weeks?

Have you ever tried breaking in new leather shoes? I remember getting these stiff dress shoes for a wedding... wore them around the house for days and still got blisters. It's like they expect you to suffer in silence or something. Now I just buy used ones sometimes to skip the whole process. But then you miss out on that new shoe smell... trade-offs I guess.
