Answer a walking and hiking question

Got an answer to the following Walking/Hiking question?

My Walking Boots have started to rub

I have had my walking boots for about 2 years now and have worn them on expeditions at least 4 times before and have never experienced any problems, until now.

I went on a practice walk for a day and after an hour, the back of my heels started hurting especially going up hill.

I'm not sure if it was a blister or just rubbing because the skin had been rubbed down and one of my heels had been bleeding.

I though it might be because I've worn the shoes too many times so they're stretched too big or that the socks I was wearing were old and too thin?

Any explanations and what I can do to prevent it from happening again is much appreciated.
