Back in January my trusty Scarpa Terras started to fall apart after a solid few years of heavy use. I decided to upgrade to my first set of B1 boots as I had received some crampons for Xmas - but also wanted my boots to be wearable all year round.
After lots of research, I bought a pair of SL Activ - felt great when I tried on in store and the reviews were all really good.
Now, I have started wearing them 'in the wild' (only a few times prelockdown and a few the otherside now) - they are giving me the worst blisters I have ever encountered! Painful lower ankle rub (esp on ascents) and toe rub (on descents).
I initially thought it might be a case of breaking the shoes in but they've been on their 5th or 6th outing now and it isn't getting easier!
Would anyone be able to recommend some life changing socks/liner socks/ inner soles they've discovered - would especially welcome any recommendations if you have the same shoes (my partner is in the exact same boat - went from the terras to the SL activs and is getting blisters in all the same places).
Also if you have any good blister remedies please let me know!
