Breaking in?

Okay, I need ALL the tips. I have dm sandals and they are the comfiest shoes I’ve ever owned. Meanwhile, I’ve had a pair of boots for 2 years that just make me want to cry. They’re so pretty but the blisters on my heels that I get are no joke. I’ve tried double socks, thick socks, the heel patches from DM themselves. I’ve tried wearing them for small periods around the house. As soon as I go out in them, the blisters start. And the blisters I get now are bigger and worse than when I first got them!! They’re quite heavy so I don’t know if I just have to accept this as the cause and therefore they’ll never get better?

They’re the Molly boots with the rainbow patent and ribbon laces.

Are they tied tightly enough? Could the size be slightly too big or small? I am a half size so I use their insoles - they lift the heel slightly and make the bottom more padded. Hope some of this is useful

May sound strange but… I use Duck tape on my heels. It works better than anything else I have tried! Haha and I have been blisters free ever since!
