I ruck 3x per week, started out at 3 miles and each week adding a mile. I'm breaking in my feet and my boots. I have 2 pair of Altama boots, both have the SOPC special modifications to them and alternate the pairs. One pair gives me no issues, I honestly feel like I can ruck all day in them, the other pair always feels good till about mile 2. Then on my right heel, the hotspot comes and if I don't notice it quick enough, the blister appears.

Whenever I get the blister, I wear flip-flops until I ruck again (typically a day break between rucking). I do wear moleskin, but the boot still digs into my blister that's there. Here's my question, anyone have a good guess as to why the one pair always gives me a blister starting around mile 2? Should I have those blister causing pair of boots looked at?
