You cannot ask about comfort online. Ever. Its like asking for your next album purchase, movie to see or person to date....these are personal matters and you make go buy my recommendation and the boots will hurt like hell and/or you are a knucklehead and buy a size 12W when you are a Brannock 13AA.

Durability comes from goodyear welt construction. Ask/look for those words as many "great boots" makers have both goodyear welt boots and disposable boots, so if you don't see the words, keep looking. Examples of who sell both are Red Wing and Timberland.
