Owner 3 pairs of sk8 his and never had any issue breaking em in. But recently got a new pair and for some reason, they rub on the heel so much that despite wearing socks, literally end up bleeding after going for a walk. I’ve heard of slips ons, old skools, etc rubbing there. But never boots?
I don’t use the top hole of the laces and have no issues. I do get the rub when I tie them all the way to the top tho x
