Whiteout Waterproof Boot (Women)

I bought these to replace an older pair that I wore into the ground because I loved them so much. This pair, however, doesn't measure up. After less than 2 hours of walking my feet are super sore and it seems like a lack of cushion or support. While this model looks much classier than my old pair, and the signature awesome traction on slippery surfaces seems the same, they don't feel as comfortable. Could it be my feet? Sure, but I don't have this problem with other shoes. I also had some chaffing on the outside of the ankle bone. Considering the price tag, and previous satisfaction, I'm disappointed.

While my feet stayed dry thanks to wearing gators, the boots offered poor traction on snow, making it difficult to avoid slipping while digging out cars for work, even with cat tracks. My toes were often cold, and despite okay insulation, I ended up with soggy feet after long shifts of 8-14 hours in the snow due to sweat buildup. I ordered the size I normally do, not expecting the size chart to differ. Overall, the boots performed well in rainy and wet snowy conditions with gators, but they were less effective for heavy-duty tasks like dragging cars and strenuous labor.
