Why do my feet hurt in new boots? Why Do My Work Boots Hurt My Feet? It all comes down to support. Unless your boots are custom, they don’t have enough arch support built in to support your feet properly. Each day, the impact on your feet is equal to the weight of a fully loaded cement truck.
Should boots hurt at first? Some discomfort at first is expected (especially if you try to wear them all day), but definitely not pain. 1. First, ensure the right size. Sometimes you’ll see folks advocating buying boots a half-size or even full size too small so that when they break in, they’ll be perfect.
