Oh, well that means they don’t fit you properly. The heel will never tighten up. Leather only gets looser, not tighter. You can try putting a different insole in, one with more volume.
The blisters one will get with that is crazy. Especially if you’re in the army and can’t stop willynilly.
I once marched 12km with bleeding blisters the sizes of small apples and had gone through all the skin layers because if I had stopped I would’ve had to stay during the weekend to do it again.
You should’ve wet them completely, preferably while wearing and stretching them.
But that can be a real pain, yeah.

Had to do it a few times while in the army.
I did. The problem was, they weren’t too tight but too wide at the heel, so my heel kept rubbing up and down in them.

If you have a proper shoemaker around you: They usually can fix this problem easily.
The problem is to find an proper shoemaker these days.
