All of my leather boots and shoes are causing me the same problem: They feel like they fit perfectly fine for about 6 hours or so then out of nowhere the top of the small toe on each foot starts hurting like hell until I take the boots off. Is this a fit problem or do they just need to break in more? All of my boots are several months old at this point.

Total fashion newfag here, what would be the most versatile color of work boot?

Like I usually stick to either grayscale or earthy colours (aside from my non-dark/black jeans) for everything else, so I'm kinda stuck between brown and black boots.

How do you shop for boots? I went to 4 different shops a couple weeks ago, looking for decent boots and most of them felt uncomfortable, scraping my heel and just didn't seem to fit very well.

I always hear this, but I've had my docs for about five years now and they haven't fallen apart. I've worn them almost every day and the worst damage is in the form of some (admittedly ugly) creases. And even those I suspect were exacerbated by the fact that the boots are one size too big. Did I just get lucky? I'd say considering the amount of wear I've gotten out of them, they were worth the money.

I really think the point here is if you have $200 to spend on shoes for fashions sake you really have enough to buy better brands. Most people aren't buying thursday's to be work boots. If you wanted cheaper shoes just do factory 2nds of a more reputable brand or have patience and save up for something that looks just as good but will last way longer.

Also if something so obvious can get through their QC then image all the shit we can't easily see (stitching inside the shoe, Midsole, Etc).

Also, try some doc martens or solovairs, That's what I use for work in hot weather, and have no problems with hot feet or anything like excess sweating.
