Have you tried duct tape?
The other and probably best solution is a good boot fitter. Movement is the a big reason for blisters and callouses. Movement in the boots causes friction which result in callouses and blisters. Stabilizing the foot and with proper fitting boots those problems will end. Most people tend to buy boots that are too big. They try to fit the compressed/weighted foot sized (foot's longest lenght), not the unweighted neutral postion (foot's shortest length). The different in size varies for each person from a little (1/4 of a size) to over 2 1/2 sizes (rare occasions). Example; My feet pronate 1 1/2 sizes. Meaning my 8 1/2 foot needs a size 10 boot to cover the movement of the foot. By stabilizing the foot, allowing room for the foot bed, a 9 works with no ill effects.
Generally, boot fitters can be found at really good alpine ski shops or high performance atheletic shops. If a shop does not have the Branock device (for measuring length and width of the foot), it is a good sign to leave the place.
The foot bed program that worked for me, was superfeet. They hold up a long time.
