I have a bulbous heel that extends a bit farther back than most peoples feet and just previously bought the scarpa Barun and still have the problem on inclines where my heel in the only thing lifting up on the boot which causes MAJOR blisters. I had the asolo FSN 95 before these and had them for 5 years and still got the same blisters on the back of my heel. I decided its time for a new boot that fits my heel. I tried this boot on for a few minutes on a incline thing in the stores and they felt better than most. Is there any boot out there that caters to my kind of foot? is the M3 the boot for me? I need help on this one.

I have these boots and experienced the same problem on inclines. Take your boots to a good cobbler. they have a machine they can work the back of the boot with that will make that problem go away.

I know asolos dont fit my feet. I havn't tried Zamberlan though. Maybe someone else would know?

I remember that the excess padding on the upper heel section made it better for my heel on the inclines. Can someone confirm that there is additional padding there compared to most boots?
