I've had the NB MU950 V2 for a little over a season now.  All of a sudden, they are rubbing very hard on the back of my heels/bottom of achilles.  Anyone else having this problem or have any suggestions to relieve the symptoms?

Give herman munster his boots back and get the V3's? Seriously, I always felt the V2's were and awful fit, but the V3's are very comfortable. I even dare to say I like them better than the magistrates

Could it be they're just worn out? Eventually all that padding on the heel tends to disappear for mine. If not, you could try something like these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07DKLW2JY

Not heard this as a specific issue to these shoes. Would do visual inspection and feel for anything that might be causing the issue (my guess is you have already done that). Could be a reason not

Could be a reason not specific to the shoes (e.g. socks, other shoes you wear that have caused rubbing that carry over, working more games. etc). I like @MikeSafari suggestion.

If were me, I might try some type of padding on the skin and lubricant. Actually, I would start simply with neosporin and a bandaid for now as that area might need to also heal before you really know if you have a shoe issue.

Not sure if that was helpful. Hope something does work out.

Nothing beats the fit of those field magistrates
