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.

Yes that lacing technique is very useful. Def go 2 pairs of socks, then they chafe against each other not your skin

I remember having a pair of MoD standard issue combat boots as a cadet, the eyelet where the laces moved up the ankle had a locking feature that was excellent for this. I wonder why it isn't used more elsewhere?

Two pairs of thick socks and lace them up as tight as a Victorian strumpet's corset
