HOW TO BREAK IN DOCS: YOUR BEST TIPS
New Docs. Old tricks. When it comes to breaking your DM’s in, we know there are some tried and tested ways to do so. But we wanted to hear from the resident experts, the Docs community.
Whether dancing, working, or clambering your way to the barriers of your favourite band, who could be better to give advice on how to break them in than the DM’s community. We asked you to share the best, strangest and most successful ways you know about how to break new DM’s in.

We can’t comment on the effectiveness of this, but we salute you @hola_sarahhhh.

We’re with @guillermo.arviz, DM’s must be initiated at a gig or festival. We use Ultra Protector to protect them before-hand.
To get them back to their best we use our DM’s Shoe Polish.
