Two pairs of thick socks won't be comfortable. Thin sock liners and socks might be ok.
The problem is worse in summer than in winter (when wearing thinner socks) so perhaps size is at least a contributing factor.
As for lacing tightness, the "surgeons knot" method has been revelationary for me...really helps keep the lower part comfortable and the top part tight.

Ah fuck me, my feet looked exactly the same a few weeks ago. I've been struggling with heel lift in my moutaineering boots for years. After going through a fair few pairs that seemingly fitted perfectly but still gave me huge heel blisters, I've concluded that its just because climbing boots are stiff as fuck and I only wear them for no more than five weeks a year.
Going to try a combo of sock liners and wearing boots for dog walks for several weeks before a trip and see if that helps
