I hate my new pair of blundstones

My basic black blundstones that I had for 3 ish years recently died on me, there was a big hole in the side that I just could not wear out in public. I wore them everywhere, I wore them for my year backpacking, on multiple hikes, and for work for a year and a half.
I bought the men’s dress 1306 because I liked the rustic brown and the square toe but after 3 days of wearing them I have realized I don’t like them. I wear them for work where I’m on my feet 9 hours a day and they feel terrible! There’s less room, less give, and they’ve already given me huge blisters which is NOT what happened with my last pair. Is there some way blundstones will change them out for me or do I just need to get over the 220 investment in shoes that don’t feel good

La Barca Squid in Ink with pasta!

I received this tin in my first tinned fish club package and I didn’t really know what to do with it.
This squid was super mild, a bit tough but I prefer a chewy rich squid.
Normally when I have squid I make a salad with it but it didn’t feel right with the squid being in the ink. I made a pasta with it, just a little garlic and cherry tomatoes sautéed in a pan, deglazed with some white wine and then tossed in the whole can. The ink that the squid is in also has some tomato in it and it makes a wonderful sauce!!! Threw in some lemon to brighten it (absolutely necessary) and then some parsley on top. Truly the most delightful fish pasta I have EVER made.
If anyone has any other ideas of what to do with this tin, I will definitely be buying it again.
