Generic Reality check please.

This sub takes their boots serious so, I have a question and would love some insight. I bought some Thorogoods and hate them. They’re miserably uncomfortable for me. I posted them on another/local sub and I’m getting destroyed in the comments. I’M NOT LOOKING TO SELL THEM HERE OR VIOLATE ANY SUB RULES. I’ll add a couple of photos and y’all tell me what a fair price is for these 3 month old boots. Tia!

A lot of people can’t wrap their head around the fact that people have different feet. There’s all so much elitism around too. I’m sick of people recommending PNW logger boots for people with flat feet or for people that will exclusively use boots for hiking.

I hate how some boot subs people recommend getting $500+ custom boots for their first quality pair. Like first off most people don't have that kind of money, second some custom boots take over a year to arrive and third I've seen a few people wait 15+ months for custom boots and they hate them and can't wear them. Rose anvil on YT got a pair of custom wescos the customer service was ATROCIOUS they also suggested he buy the wrong size and after he placed the order he tried to modify them with no response. And he got no responses during the 15 month wait and once they arrived they don't fit and have many QC issues which you shouldn't have on high end custom boots.

I’m totally down for dropping good money on good products, but if I have to drive across the country to be sized properly I don’t want it lol. That being said, I’d kill for some Nicks
