I had a fine hike last weekend of Moriah. However, and old nemesis reared its ugly head. I went light and hiked in my old-style Alpina Mount leathers instead of my Lowa Civetta plastics.
I have a problem with these boots where the heel lever of my BD Switchblade step in crampons starts digging into my heel on the steeps. I have an area about 1" across now on my right heel that's totally devoid of surface skin, and I'm at work with no shoes on.
I wrapped it in gauze, and I'm wondering if I had done this at the beginning of the hike, would it have prevented the blister in the first place?
Does anyone have any tips for prepping their feet for many uphill miles in leather boots with step ins?
