- 1). Tighten your laces to reduce rubbing on the heel. Always tie the laces with moderate tension for a snug and painless fit.
- 2). Wear a pair of thin liner socks under your normal socks. Liner socks with a snug fit do not stop rubbing but they do provide a barrier between the heel and rubbing point. The liner socks are ideal for blister prevention.
- 3). Buy a smaller or more narrow size boot. Your heel rubs when the boot is too big and your foot has ample play inside the boot. Downsize to a boot with a slightly tighter fit.
- 4). Wear thicker socks to fill the extra space inside the boot. Upgrade to a thick pair of wool socks to increase the size of your foot and reduce rubbing.
- 5). Add a gel sole to the boot to fill extra space and prevent rubbing. The gel sole also adds cushion and comfort to the boot.
