An AI-written article from early 2019?
Yes, the date could be fake. But there’s also a reason the AIs write the way they do…

Maybe they are and you’re not.
Great: now I’m having an existential crisis due to a shitty article about shoes.
Usually when I see older articles like this I assume it was written in another language and then translated to english.
It’s a site that sells things. Someone looked at Google analytics and saw that the term “heel counter” gets searched a lot. It’s a topic that requires like 2 sentences to explain but Google rewards lengthy articles that have the magic phrase the most times. So some SEO “expert” ends up writing a lengthy article about something mundane and easy to explain and then wedges the word “heel counter” in to it as many times as possible. Which makes it read weird as shit if you don’t know what’s going on.
If you Google heel counter, this is the first result for a reason.
I think you might just be hyper aware of it and see it in places that are not AI written. This reads fine to me, very stereotypical article where you only need to read every other sentence in every other paragraph because the writer was fluffing for ad space. It’s hard to write a “scrollable” article about a very specific piece of a shoe.

Doesn’t really look AI written to me, but maybe this is a case of “AI was trained on these articles and writes like them” and you’re getting it backwards.
Most likely your shoes don’t fit and you should try another size. Are you wearing through the outside first or the inside first?
You just have to be on your toes.
So I searched a bit and this link has a few suggestions: https://www.blister-prevention.com/blogs/prevention/holes-in-the-back-of-my-shoes
TL;DR you can have a deformity on your feet called Haglunds which can worsen wear on the heel counter. There is also a possibility that you can relace your boots or use padding to reduce wear.
I love how that article had plenty of other explanations for why a person might wear out their heel counter, but you jumped straight to him having deformed feet lol.
I had to read that link to learn what a counter is.
It might be that your foot heel is unusually prominent. I’d be trying a gel cushion or pad on the inside of the shoe, which you could replace if worn out.
Either wrong size, gait or your heel is pronounced.
Try different sizes as others described otherwise you can buy stickers you put on the inside.
Or buy shoes with leather counters.

Double layered anti-blister socks.
That happens to me with padded structural sneakers. I switched to shoes that aren’t structural (Nike Flyknit, Merrell vaporglove) so the soft fabric of the shoe moves with my foot and hasn’t happened since.
The leather counter in dress shoes also seems to be more durable as others have said.
I also wear through the inside fabric quite fast but I also wear my soesea little bit on the loose side. Maybe try a different size or cut?
Get a shoe horn?
