Good quality boot, a work in progress

I have plantar fasciitis which is why I bought these boots. They are very comfortable to wear with great cushioning for the heels. However, I cannot wear these boots for very long, as my feet and ankles start to ache and it becomes painful to walk. I do feel like this is expected due to the nature of the boot and what I have read. After walking with plantar fasciitis for a year now I would guess my posture is affected and these boots perhaps try to make me walk more naturally. I have been taking the dog on short 20-30 minute walks in these boots twice a day and I have noticed over the last 2 weeks there is gradually less pain. Anything longer, I switch to my usual walking boots and accept more heel pain. I am hopeful over the coming weeks these will become my main walking boots and when I finally resolve the plantar fasciitis I can get back to some proper hiking in these boots. They are expensive but they do feel very well made, supportive and comfortable. I would say true to size and easy to tighten or loosen as appropriate
