[QUOTE="SupressYourself, post: 51839, member: 340"] I know this thread is more about Scheels customer service -- which I agree is usually great -- but I'll share a similar boot experience. I had a pair of Danners that were broke-in and I took on a back country DIY elk hunt in CO. Day 1 I had blisters on both heels. By day 10, both heels were a ragged painful mess. I had switched boots at one point, but the damage was already done. I found that my heels are somewhat uniquely shaped and were rubbing especially bad on uphill climbs. I did some research and was able to 'fix' the boots with some duct tape. You use the real heavy-duty stuff and place it vertically on the inside of the boot to cover the heel area. Make sure to use a few and overlap. My heel still rubs, but the slippery duct tape cuts the friction and heat so I never get blisters. I haven't tested them in the same extreme hiking environment, but I did wear them on a 7 day mule deer hunt along Fort Peck lake in MT with no problems. [/QUOTE]
