Looking for some advice guys:  I've worn my new 110 last HH service boots a couple of days, and am getting a serious "hotspot" from rubbing on the upper boney part of my heel.  Never had this issue before with boots (I am usually working around my high arch or looking for more toe room, but never heel trouble).

So, do you all think this will go away in a couple of weeks, either as my foot adjusts or as the boot breaks in (though I can tell it's the stiff part of the heel cap that's rubbing)?

Give it a minute HH is tough stuff buddy

[Finn666]

^keep on wearing buddy. they should get better with every wear…if not, pm me

I think it will go away as you break them in. Try wearing thicker non-cotton socks. I wear Fox River boot socks.

Agreed, get some hiking/wool socks, break them in.

I agree with Mad, although I wouldn't back away from the monitor I would keep looking for a sweeter pair! Those Lone Wolfs were made for you, Finn!

^Thanks to all for the breaking-in advice.  This is what I wanted to hear of course!  And I hope it works.  I will report back, and post some more natural light shots of the boots, which really are nice.

to add:
IMO, don't lace all the way up, in the meantime … that's what i do with most of my boots when new
.... also, applying mink oil on the shaft area will help hasten the leather to soften up.

[mclaincausey]

Yeah, definitely have to oil the shaft until she breaks in sometimes. 

[smittybat]

Try using moleskin on the hot spot until the leather softens naturally.

Dam! They look good. Let me guess… 2030 last again?

[Scottystyles]

Actually, maybe that's a 110! The toe looks a little rounder than a 2030.

[Aries]

I'd guess 110 too due to the toe.

[Finn666]

should be 2030
