    Hi guys. Work long hours on my feet. Normally I would wear boots. But looking for a shoe or light boot. Must be black in colour. Been using a brand of hiking boots I would not normally go for ended up with very tender heel. Vet said its planterfasciaitis or the like. Feet fine in crocs or runners but cant wear ether. So ideas guys
    Thanks

    If you have good boots, have you considered cushioned insoles?

    Have you ever tried Magnum boots? Find them comfy, waterproof, but still able to breath.

    I'd recommend Magnum boots too.

    They're a bit pricy but worth the investment.

    The first pair of safety boots I got were cheap ones for around 30 euro. They did the job but were heavy and uncomfortable, especially after a few hours.

    But I switched to magnum a while ago and couldn't believe the difference. They're great for long hours.

    Best thing about them is how light they are. I comfortably did a 5km walk in them and have even ran for a bus in them.
