Tell me of these gel inserts. I'm currently using Muks daily and have that exact heel blow out problem

Largely, I use basic/generic versions of insoles in my XtraTufs (the Alaskan version of these kinda boots) to suck up volume and provide a more snug fit inside the boot that prevents your heel from sliding around.

I use the good SOLE footbeds in my skiboots for more comfort and boot control.

Oh I thought you had an insert specific to the heel wear. As I understand winter versions of the boots of this style have a neoprene insulated layer. Daily use can degrade this no matter the brand. I'm looking for something specific to this. Thanks for the reply and info though!

I use gel inserts in my muck boots and they hold my toes in tight but the heel still rubs. I’ve started wearing thick socks
