If you can, thin socks and either really thick or thin socks over them. Heel rub happens when the sock sticks to your heel (sweat) and also to the inside of the heel counter on the shoe. Two layers this does not happen as the layers slide past each other. I always liked Blundies when they were made in Taswegia, but they’ve fallen off the radar now.
Just picked up my first pair of steel toe boots, courtesy of the The Man.
Nice a simple black boot. Tested them out by having partner stand on the toes while I was wearing them and I felt nothing lol.
All set for Monday morning ✨
Redback are my fave brand. Super comfy.
Wear thick socks because they can start to hurt when they’re new.

Thirding the thick socks. My Steel Blues were absolute bitches to break in, but once I did they became my favourite shoe ever.
what size are you? i have a pair of steel toe boots that i have worn twice
Seconding the thick socks!! It’s the heel rub that gets me. Get Dubbin if you don’t already have any.
