I've tried both Raichle and Scarpa
absolutely could not break them in.
After an hour or two they had to be removed;
with time off for bruising to heal.
I worked on them for over a year and finally returned them.

My original Vasques, some thirty years ago,
were comfortable from the start and resoled 3 times
over twenty five years;
when I finally retired them.
The new Vasques will also not break in like the originals.

George Lottermoser
