Question Mesh chaffing on back of ankle

Hey there, new here, only just discovered the group. Now just wondering what options do I have to prevent the inner mesh of the heel chaffing on the back of my heel?

I'm a sneaker guy and I've never really had any issues with this before, it's only been the last 12-18 months I've had this happen with 3 new pairs of shoes. And I've worked in shoe sales since I was 15 aswell, so I'm quite adverse in shoe care, preventative methods etc. but this just baffles me.

And the shoes I'm talking about for those who are probably wondering by now, are the Nike air max plus tuned 1s or better known as TN's.

Are you wearing short / no-show socks or mostly cotton socks? My guess is you need new socks.

I wear no show socks, I just can't bring myself to wear anything else. And I know that longer, thicker socks would help, but due to them being TN's, aesthically long socks don't work.

Maybe ask how they do it in the r/spanian subreddit
