Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

You could have nonstandard shaped feet. I have had horribly uncomfortable footwear most of my life - turns out I need wide or double-wide sizes and taller mids (not the arch, but the corresponding top of the foot - the talus I think?).
You might have a local shoe store that offers custom fitting or measurements for work or sports footwear. Visit them and describe how your boots are uncomfortable. They can help figure out what features you need and which brands offer them.
Personally, I found Rockport chukkas to be perfect for me in the wide sizes. Very little break in time and decent quality (my current pair are 3 years of daily wear and going strong). That said, if you find a pair that work for you, but two and alternate wearing them to give them time to air out. They will last longer.
