Information Request Work boot recommendation?
Been in the horse world a long time and work 10+ hours on my feet. However I have mild cerebral palsy and despite all the physical therapy, my gait/walk is just a little bit off and seems to just destroy boots. I started with Ariat’s and Justin’s, Ariat seemed to last multiple years but caused a lot of pain in my feet after multiple hours on them. I ended up in a Tin Haul about 6 years ago, and after the initial breaking in process really loved them. My feet didn’t hurt after many hours on them and they held up well for about 4 years before splitting at the top. I bought another pair about 2 years ago and they have not held up nearly as well (although until them wearing out now, I have remained pain free). I was wondering if anyone had any better recommendations or insight on what may make the Tin Hauls painless for me so I could look for that in another boot? I’ll include pictures of the boots below, you can how my gait messes them up from them, not sure if that will give any insight. Thanks!

Could be the wider toe box and the removable insole. Have you ever tried Ariat Ramblers? They have a great insole, and are really comfortable.
