RedWing Tradesman Pain
I bought these Redwing Tradesman about a month ago and thought they were amazing. When I got the boots my local store also did their foot scan and recommended I buy the custom insoles. The first couple weeks they kept getting more comfortable each time I put them on. The toe box is perfect and I can move my toes around freely.
After about two weeks my feet started hurting terribly. By the ends of the day my heels and the balls of my feet felt bruised so bad I was limping by the time I got home.
This was very concerning to me so I went back to the store to ask about it and was just told to see a doctor. I have since switched back to the original insoles which are better and don’t bruise my feet but still leave me fairly sore.
For context, I work in a butcher shop on concrete for 9-10 hours a day. I personally prefer to have waterproof, steel toe, and non slip in this environment even though it’s not required. And these boots have filled all of my needs plus the extra bonus of puncture proof sole which I figured would be good for a future job I have lined up so I am pretty bummed that I am having problems after such a large investment.
Has anyone had this problem before or at least know how I could fix this? Ive been lookin into shock absorbing insoles but don’t know which ones to go with.
