I've been wearing these boots for about a week now and I love almost everything about them. I wore them hiking a bit and mostly around the city breaking them in. The only issue I'm having is some uncomfortable rubbing on the right side of my left ankle right where the gusseted tongue meets the rest of the boot. It is a little better than when I first started, but it makes me nervous that it will never go away. Has anyone experienced the same thing and should I expect this to go away at some point? I have a big hike coming up and I don't want to get stuck half way up Mt Whitney and not be able to make it due to ankle pain. My right foot could not feel better, which is good none the less. Thanks for the thoughts!

I know it's an obvious answer but have you tried shifting the tongue/fabric around? I had a similar problem on the top of my foot where the laces kept it tight to my foot. By playing with it for a bit the problem disappeared immediately.
