they are a great shoe. i like the laces because they dont get looser while running and the shoes stay tight on my feet.

no i wear synthetic running socks that were made to prevent blisters and friction burns. the socks dont matter.

The socks do in fact matter. And smartwool make some of the best kind out there. Try the pHD's if you can find them.

Also try a heel-lock with your laces, that may work.

dont need a heel lock because the ankle is firm and as tight in the shoe as it needs to be. like i said earlier, i have the socks that prevent these kind of things from happening. i dont need to go out and buy better ones.

Isnt this a common thing for most runners? Havent you ever gotten bad blisters on the heel of your feet because of friction with shoes? just say if it was a problem with new shoes and breaking them in or a constant problem with some shoes.

advice so far has been pretty useless. any past experiences with this sort of injury would be appreciated

Here is pretty much the only advice there is:

a) try different socks. That's great that you have socks that prevent blisters and all, but if you're getting blisters or hot spots maybe you need to try different ones.

b) try a heel lock. That's great that the heel feels snug in the shoe, but once again if you're getting blisters or hot spots maybe your foot actually is moving around the shoe.

c) tough it out. In some cases you'll rub the fabric off of the inside of the shoe and won't have a problem anymore.

d) the heel counter is too large, try a different shoe
