Here we go again....
Blisters are caused by friction, which means improper fitting shoes.
Try wearing an extra pair of socks or add an insert so you can tighten up the laces, so your foot does not move around. Get your foot snug in the insole and try loosening up the laces towards the top of the boot where rubbing and leaving the sore spots.
