Liking them less the more I wear them

Initially I was thrilled and happy to be wearing Chaco during the wintertime. The shoes felt like the sandals but are sadly becoming a little less "super" the more I wear them.

While the sole is comfortable in the Chaco-molded way, it is hard. I've noticed some minor ankle and shin pain after a long day (I work at a museum and walk a LOT).

My feet aren't incredibly wide, but I've noticed the toe box is a little narrow. I wear a size 10.5 shoe normally, but for some reason a 9 in their Z2 sandal; I decided to get a 10 in this shoe. The length is good but the sides of the toe box rub a bit on both my big and small toes.

Overall, Chaco quality but I don't know if this is a shoe to wear for a full day. Well made, but a bit lacking in the comfort department the more I wear them. They've also started creaking when I walk. Possibly the shoelaces since they're some type of weird helicopter-cord material. But a bit annoying.
