Boots cause this issue the worst, but I do get it with my normal every day shoes of Merrells.
I've tried inserts in my shoes, thicker socks, less thick socks, different ways of tying my boots. It will happen every time. I'm still guessing it's shoe size related, but I will be having to switch to men's shoes for bigger sizes! Any recommendations on boots to try for anyone who had this problem previously?
