A few things:

Fit: I have a good friend who has worked as a shoe salesman for years - according to Carl, if a shoe doesn't fit when you first try it on don't buy it - while shoes will "break in" to some extent - if they're not comfortable at first there's a very good chance that they never will be.

Blisters: if you start to notice a "hot spot" somewhere on your foot, stopping when you first notice it and applying moleskin or 2nd skin can prevent a blister from forming.

Foot care: I've also found (having lived with very sweaty feet for 48.5 years) that changing socks and doing small things like taking my boots and socks off at lunch breaks so my feet can air out keeps my tootsies happier longer -

Happy hiking!

Steve
