Are you getting heal slip or is it just a sore spot?
Not sure the difference but just a tender or hot spot at base of Achilles. Didn’t turn to blister but might have if it was an all day hike.

I have a pair of Crispi Nevadas and some scarpas that had a little heal slip and there are actually different ways that you can tie your boots that lock your heal down better. Worked wonders for me

It took my crispis a while to start feeling good to great but they eventually did and I really enjoy them now.
Keep going, play with lacing and explore different socks.

Not directed at the OP, but whatever happened to breaking in boots before days of the internet and complaining about sore feet? I remember breaking in a couple pairs of White boots, and you'd always have a couple blisters in the first 2 weeks and hot spots elsewhere. After 3 weeks, they fit like a glove and gave a couple years of joy to your feet. Just seems like guys are quick to complain about any issues these days, even though boots have come a long ways in terms of support and comfort. Just say'n.....People complained just as much and just as fast before the internet.
Now it is easier to get info and answers I see it as looking for advice not complaining

Not sure there was a complaint in there but just looking for tips from other guys. I appreciate your genuine concern and quality addition to this thread though.

Which model crispi? The nevadas and summits have been comfort from the word go. The thors I used this season had a similar issue, not a hot spot or rubbing but caused Achilles fatigue for lack of a better term. The rest of my foot felt good and after a week in the mountains it seemed to clear up. I did notice that lacing the top of the foot tight, and leaving the ankle a little loose, then tightening the top laces did help a bunch.
I have the titans. I did buy new socks this weekend and plan to try those as well. Thanks for the thoughts guys.
