Do you have boots that are comfortable? (lemmy.world)

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?

You might need custom orthotics but you can't expect your boots to last if they're your work boots and you walk on concrete all day. I would go through 3 pairs of shoes/boots a year as a valet.

My employer gives a $75 voucher for boots per year. Would be great if I could find a solution to make them last that long. I should probably invest in an anti-static mat I can put at my US general box since it's my desk/standing desk lol.

Not to be a downer but you'll never make 75$ last a year. We had a 300$ budget and that didn't last. No matter the quality our shoes/boots would be ok to wear outside of work after six months, but not to wear all day at work. Shit sucks but just like anything, if it's used 40h+/week then it will need maintenance, shoes can't be maintained so they need to be replaced 🤷
