I played in my Vapors today after not wearing them for 3 months and by the end of the game my feet were killing me...my heel is all blistered and sore with puss coming out of them
Does anyone have any ideas as to how to soften up the back of my vapors so they don't rub?
What can I do to my heels in the mean time to stop the pain?

You could stick a tennis ball or a drinks can in the heel an wedge it in there nice and firm so it opens the heel out, leave them like that until next time you play in them. helped for me.
Also, another method i used to stop rubbing was, i put electrical tape on the top of the heel part on the boot in a way that it opened the heel out a bit more and stopped the rubbing, works a treat.
Hope it helps

what's electrical tape?
is that insulation tape?
how would that stretch the boot?
I might use dubbin because that stuff is a bit like leather then do the tnnis ball job

think I'll do that with the tennis ball too and leave them for a week and play in my abs in trianing - if I can go training - cause my heels ar wrecked
you know ronaldo had the problem with his vapors and blisters and he was criticized for the lack of movement in his first game...probably had blisters cause I couldn't move in trianing I wasl iterally just waiting for the ball to shoot

i wore mine into my tub of hot water and molded them and the took two tennis balls and put them in hot water and the stuffed it into the back of the heel of my vapors ...

(i should of patented that tennis ball idea)

the hot water tennis ball is a good idea because when the material gets hot it will stretch
right now I just have a can of coke in the back of each boot to iden them up
