cheapo Diadora boots from eBay
The one the Wiggle outlet has been flogging off? I looked at those because frostbitten toes (possible exaggeration).
FWIW I'd give them another few goes, taping up the bits of your feet that rubbed. Or swap out the insoles?

They might need a bit of breaking in - in the meantime, Compeed is your friend. Amazing stuff, supermarkets/pharmacies have it.

Do they need breaking in? Or do they not just agree with my feet?
Time will tell. I've tried to break cycling shoes in but have had to give up, other pairs have yielded after a bit. Agree compeeds are great.

I bought some cheapo Diadora boots from eBay. Really happy with them - not been able to test the waterproofness yet but they kept my feet very comfy on a 200 at the weekend where the temperature averaged about 2 degrees.
However, towards the end of the ride the boots were rubbing my ankles a bit - do we reckon this is a case of it was pretty silly to give them a first outing on such a long ride? Do they need breaking in? Or do they not just agree with my feet?
