Blisters and heel soreness probably come from the stiffness of the boot. Until the upper part of the boot breaks in, the heel is going to travel a little. Sounds like the shoes were still a little too new for the trip.

For the first 3 weeks, the shoes would cause some minor discomfort on my left foot. Not anymore. Interestingly enough, I also noticed that on other shoes, I was walking over the bottom sole or literally off the shoe in the same area my foot was sore. With the Aldens that is almost impossible due to the fact that the outer sole is the widest part of the shoe.

Just my experience,
Pyro.

I find that shoes never break in until you walk a mile in them in the pouring rain.

But that's just me.
