Reebok Work 8" Soft Toe Stealth Boot Side Zipper Coyote RB897 COYOTE

These boots have stiching inside in the back that is very rough against the outside of my ankle and rubbed a blister on my ankle. After trying a range of different ways to mitigate it, none of which stayed in place, my final solution was to put 3 layers of moleskin over the stiching covered by Gorilla tape to keep in in place (stickier than duct tape). So far that is working, but wouldn't be needed on a boot with better finishes that keep surfaces smooth inside. I also have to wear thick socks. I am a search dog handler and also go on long hikes so my boots need to be comfortable over rough terrain for long periods.
