Instead upon receipt of the boots I put them on and went out on a three mile (5 kilometers) urban walk about.

I've been looking for a pair of all leather hiking boots for some time now and wasn't having much luck because most these days have a lot of synthetic material incorporated into their construction. That entails stomping through muddy pens, driving the tractor, climbing over fences and hay bails, and pushing stubborn jackasses. The heel-cup is quite shallow, so if you have a fairly prominent heelbone, you might get blisters on your heels in this boot.

The cause is that the leather in the back of the inside of the heel is rough where it should be smooth, so that it tries to prevent the heel from moving up and down, thus causing a blister. The insoles seem a bit rubbishy so bought replacements but months later I am still using the original ones.
