There are no shortcuts to breaking in climbing shoes. I have over a dozen and the only surefire way to break them in is to climb in them. The shower "trick" does not expand rubber and will make your shoes smell. Sticking them in an oven or near a hairdryer will cause premature delamination. Just climb in them. It might suck for a session or two but it's better than setting $200 bucks on fire because you wanted instant gratification.
best way for me is to take a super hot shower with them on my feet and letting them dry naturally, the rubber wraps around your foot with the hot water and it keeps the shape because of the air drying.

heat is acually not that scary because you really have to go crazy for it to start melting from my experience
