Ariat Women's Fatbaby Cowgirl Composite Toe Work Boot

I bought these about a month ago for work. I work in the mining industries and wear 10 hours a day. They are very comfortable and seem to be holding up to the abusive nature of our business.

After having owned several pair of Fatbaby steel toe boots, I was thrilled to get the composite toe boots for winter. Unfortunately, these are probably the second most uncomfortable boots I've ever owned. Unlike the steel toe boots, the composite toe boots immediately felt sloppy & loose on my feet, yet the right boot also cut into the top of my foot. I thought getting new footbeds might help, but they made the boots worse. I ended up removing the footbeds altogether, which makes the boots even sloppier on my feet, but at least I can wear them when a good fit doesn't matter so much. All in all, I feel like I wasted my money on these boots, because not only are they uncomfortable, but I also can't use them for work the way I had intended.
