Briksdal MTN Question

[RAM190Hog]

For those running the Briksdal MTN, does the synthetic upper break in and develop flexibility like leather?

I am trying out some of the new Alpine Lite boots, with the same material upper. I find when walking and flexing the forefoot, the upper bends in a distinct crease or bend which then pokes into the top of my instep. Wondering if I can expect this to break in with use, like I would expect for leather.

I have the Briksdal Pro, and at first, there was a weird pinch point at the base of my big toes, but it went away fairly quickly. Now they feel like my old leather Crispi Kenais.

My Briksdal Mtns broke in and will also stretch out a bit when wearing in snow for extended time just like my leather boots do.
