What is your occupation?

You previously stated something about the toe of the shoes wearing out. Military boots don’t usually have a reinforced toe.
Jump boots have a double layer of leather on the toe. Corcoran IIs are the only jump boots I’ve found to be somewhat comfy, but they aren’t cheap.

Military boots have a steel shank in the sole to protect against pungí sticks, so you’ll never feel the pedals.

I spent years in them and don’t think they’re comfortable. Especially leg boots. No cushioning at all in the sole.

I’d get another pair of the shoes you had before.

My preference is to be barefoot or in flip flops whenever possible. If you’re the type that wears shoes around the house, you might find military boots comfy.
