Dance - Breaking new hard shoes in consists of, pain, blisters & squashed feet. Unfortunately, there's no other way to put it, there's no one magic thing that's going to mould that leather to your feet to the point of comfort. Of course, you have ways to help quicken the process to make the leather less tough, but wearing them, dancing in them, drilling toe blocks in them is the only way it's going to work. This might take weeks, even months depending on how much you can tolerate doing it for. But once they are broke in, they will become your best friend!
