For all the years I've been playing rugby I have never had this problem before. My last two pairs of boots have given me serious boot rub. First few games fine. Not a problem. Then it started! Got so bad in one game had to come off!
I've tried just playing through it until I broke them in but it didn't work. So I had to replace them with the boots I have now. The exact same problem.
The first set were Canterburys I believe and I can't remember what my new pair are.
I've been told to beat the **** out of the heels with a mallet to soften the backs and to soak my feet with the boots on in hot water so it molds around my feet. Haven't tried it yet, want to hear a few more suggestions.
Also I wear two pairs of socks. A habit of mine which doesn't help.
Also we can use this thread to discus the best sort of boots, brand and type and the best boots we have ever owned.
Mine was pumas. They were football boots which I changed the studs on. To small now for me but they carried me through school and jr rugby!
