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?

Yep, but from another seller. Cost £30, brand new, amazing stuff. Very comfy, not too heavy, seem to regulate temperature well and kept my feet dry in the rain today.
They've loosened up a bit, but also turns out I think my cleat might be in ever-so-slightly the wrong place causing my foot to move weirdly, which I think might be causing the rubbing.

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?
