I put my FIRST 2 miles on a pair of salewa mtn trainer mids today. I know - i shouldn’t be doing this so close to season but it’s a long story...
Anyways - I got some pretty rough heel rub on both heels. So much I quit at 2 miles before I formed more than just hot spots. I immediately called salewa and got a super nice gal on the phone who pointed me towards an email for the no blister guarantee. I sent a note along with where I was getting issues and got a reply back that these boots are stiff so they need 25-30 miles to break in. Which to me - these boots are in fact not that stiff and I’m highly doubting “break in” will fix such bad heel rub.
Does anyone have any experience with these boots or a similar issue? Do you really think more miles will resolve this? I have other boots I can wear if these don’t work so it’s not life or death.
