How Do I Know When My Vasque Gore-Tex Hiking/backpacking Boots Are Broken In?

Recently, I bought a pair of Vasque Gore-Tex hiking/backpacking boots for my upcoming trip to Philmont, New Mexico for a Boy Scout trip. How do I know when they are broken in? I have been wearing them around town and the house for about 3 days.
Vasque is the boot that "allows you to slip them on and go," and requires very little break in time.

What Is The Difference Between Hiking Boots And Backpacking Boots?
Oct 30, 2007 by JB | Posted in Other - Outdoor Recreation
i'm sure there is a difference in performance, otherwise they'd be the same thing.
i don't do much backpacking, mostly just a dayhiker.
any sugestions for something affordable?
backpacking boots are usually high cut(go up over your ankles) and stiff--usually made of leather; they're built stiff to give you the extra support needed to carry a heavy pack(up to 40lbs) and hence may not be as comfortable as dayhikers(hiking boots)...hiking
