Red Wing Shoes review: Work boots

I purchase these boots for $260 back in July 2020 for work. I understand that there is a break-in period for boots, usually a week or 2. But I wore them for 2 months and they just got worse, my feet hurt terribly, also my back, and I started having heal spurs. Needless to say they are now sitting on my work bench, $260 sitting on the bench. I always had confidence in Red Wing, but not now. I just want my moneys worth, This to me is a manufacturers flaw, not a comfort issue. the manufacturer flaws warranty is a year.
