Update - worn them 3-4 times now and they're not cutting into my heels anymore at all.
That said, they're still much tighter than my other 41's (2 other pairs). 42's might have been better in the Achilles.
Anyone know if the winters would be much like these as well? I don't want to size up to 42 (my natural size US9) unless completely necessary.
While the Achilles is padded around the top edges, they're not really padded on the inside of the shoe either much like the other models I own.
