New boots can sometimes hurt your feet due to breaking in or inappropriate fit. This discomfort is normal but can be severe if not addressed. To make the transition easier, start with short periods of wear and gradually increase time, use shoe stretchers or boot trees to break in shoes more effectively, take note of foot shape and size, type of shoes, previous footwear wear when considering comfort levels. If pain becomes a problem, prioritize your overall comfort level, listen to your feet, and consider consulting with a podiatrist if necessary.
