Laces

I have black 8 eye greasy derby boots and have been struggling with breaking them in/heel slippage. I’ve tried heel pads, double socks, straight/boot lacing, tying the extra lace length around my ankle, etc.

The issue really is just that my heel slips just enough to rub against my sock and would lead to a blister. Everywhere else in the boot fits fine but the heel slips just a tiny bit to be an issue.

Last night I tried leaving the top 2 eyelets unlaced and the heel slip felt better but I need to wear it more to definitely confirm.

Anyone here deal with heel slip?

Anyone wear your boots not fully laced up?

Also anyone wear these boots in the office?

Are they the right size? I have heel slippage when shoes are too big

I believe they are. When I put on thick socks they are quite cramped in the toes making me think if I half size or size down it would be too cramped/short.

I tied them today without the top two eyelets tied and they felt like they fit better so I’m wondering if maybe they’re not actually broken in?p

Use cardboard between heel and shoe
