Give me blisters

By Ranked #1023 - Cross Country Skiing February 20, 2008

I can't say much about how good the product is if it gave me some bad blisters. The cause of the blister is in the heel due to the lapping of the stitching of the plastic heel around the back of the boots. There is not much padding and as my foot slides up a little it rubs against that seam (which is in a very bad spot) I got blisters on both heel after skiing for 10 kms total while wearing fairly thick wool socks, . I was feeling it coming on around 5 kms and if I didn't have that thicker wool socks, I would of been in more discomfort. Definitely would not recommend this to anybody. To improve the boot, I would add more padding inside and lap that seam the other way.
