If the shoes aren't really tight I put heel pads in the back:

As an alternative you could try to line the back with moleskin (which can be used on your skin or on the shoes):

If I know I'll be walking a lot especially in the heat I sometimes put bandaids on my heels as an extra precaution.

This sounds weird, but masking tape works really well for a lot of things. That's what I used in point shoes when I did ballet, and since then I've started using it in regular shoes too.

Where do you apply the tape? Along the top of the back of the heel?
