If you own a Nokona baseball glove, and want to break it in, then here is what Nokona put on its website (http://www.nokona.com/nokona-baseball-factory.html, then look for the FAQ):
“Our answer is not always what you want to hear. When you buy a Nokona, you have selected the best glove made. Nokona’s select glove leathers are softer than our competitors and should, therefore, break in easier.
Still, when getting your Nokona ready, we suggest that you play catch and break-in your glove or mitt naturally. This will allow your glove to form a natural pocket. There are many different methods and “quick fixes” to shortcut the break-in period. Unfortunately, we’ve seen the sad results of many of these over the past half century.
If you have chosen a Nokona, however, you have shown that you are a serious ball player and the extra effort in getting your glove ready by proper catch and practice won’t hurt your skills, and you will have a glove that is properly broken in for play.”
