Stan- Most people are sedentary.
They don't wear work boots every day.
Those of us that do, and who chase birds wherever and whenever, get a pretty unique panoply of experience.
My "had-to-have" Kangaroo skinned boots lasted 4 days in Nebraska. Grass ate through the toes. Their loyal following is comical to me. I call them "range boots".
The modern carbon fibre shanked composite toe work boots with a dual durometer sole are an absolute Godsend when you walk 10+ miles a day on concrete.
My wife struggles to get 6500 steps a day. I get 10,000 by noon. And it shows in her foot, ankle, knee, leg, and hip health.
I think that's pretty much the same reality for everyone.
