That reminds me to throw some duct tape into the backpack. Is there anything it can’t do?
Looks like heel-lift. I got that in both my hiking boots and (especially painfully) in my snowboard boots once they’d gotten a little lived-in.
After a lot of experimenting I found that a little padding under the insole under the arch (middle) of my foot makes the problem go away. Just like that. I’d love to hear if it works for anyone else too.

If you hike with a nalgene water bottle or something of similar size, wrap a few layers of duct tape around it for occasions like this. That’ll save you quite a bit of space in your pack.
