clean up your mess. stuff boot with some paper towels for a bit to get most of the oil out. Put on and wear with oily feet (for the first week or so).
After that the boots are butter, pretty water resistant, and nearly impossible to shine.
I did this with a pair of wellco ripple sole jungles and have been thankful.
Normally though, I just fill new boots with piping hot tap water, let them drain from the vents and then wear them about garrison or home until they're dry.

Yeah.
That technique of your buddy's should simultaneously cause your feet to blister, and the soles to fall off at about six miles into the 12 miler.
I look forward to you and the rest of the Scouts using that technique, and your subsequent report.
