Feels like a dumb question, but I haven’t ever worn a pair of boots that didn’t hurt in some way. Is this just a feature of boots, or am I doing something wrong?
Work boots? Try Thorogoods, redwings, even a few of the Wolverines brands like Bates are awesome.
Casual wear boots are somewhat trickier. Gotta just try em on in person see which ones fit to you correctly.
There is a “break in” period for all leather boots though, where the leather softens at the natural bends when you walk. Takes only a few days if you treat the leather right and keep it clean and moisturized.
