Feels like a dumb question, but I haven't ever worn a pair of boots that didn't hurt in some way. Is this just a feature of boots, or am I doing something wrong?

Keen all the way. They're not dressy, you look like you're going for a hike but man are comfortable out of the box. I have a hard time finding shoes / boots and keens are winners.

Runner up and more fashionable have been my blundstones

I am glad that you have had luck with Keen. I tried 2 separate pairs, one work shoe, one hiking boot/shoe and they both fell apart within 6 months in spots where they used adhesives instead of stitching. Never again.

Weird. After years of use, the first thing to go was a lace

Same here. I still have two pair sandals and one pair shoes, all held together with ShoeGoo after separating.

Same here - I got a pair of Keen abut 5-6 years ago for hiking and they are the most comfortable boots I ever had - sometimes I wear them instead of sneakers. However they haven’t had as much use in the last few years.

I imagine all boots are slightly different and all feet are slightly different, so it’s a matter of finding that perfect fit for your feet at the time
