Yeah, I have some really comfy walking boots (by a brand called Vegetarian Shoes, I think they're made in Italy) and a pair of everyday boots by Superga which are also really comfy. You'll usually need to break boots in - maybe wear them around the house a bit with some thick socks on whilst they get used to your feet.
My Demonia boots HURT after a few hours. They look so cool though. My husband says his Docs are comfy though.
Yes
sounds like you've just not found boots that fit you right, I've had pain wearing many types of shoes untile I've found the size that works be for me,
I got a pair of timberlands that are quite comfortable tho they don't last very long
I have a pair of Keen hiking boots that have lasted well over a decade and are very comfortable.
I wore steel toe boots for several years for work and while they do tend to be uncomfortable at first they eventually break in and improve. For me the most comfortable were the wider boots and especially those with a larger toe box. I no longer need a safety boot so now wear the Lems boot which I find super comfy.
I had some waterproof snow boots that were perfectly comfortable once. They were waterproof all the way up to their high top. Nicely cushioned, no breaking in required.
I wish I could remember the brand. It was a long time ago.

I've always had Doc Martens boots for casual wear in the winter. They're really comfortable as long as you break them in by wearing them around the house for half an hour a day for a week or two before going outdoors with them.
Getting cushioned insoles might help?
I wear Doc's a lot but never in winter! They're just ice skates in disguise.

I would recommend blundstones. Very comfortable, lasts long, functional, and versatile to style. Great beginner boot
Knowing how sensitive I am, I can't imagine buying footwear I didn't think was comfortable.
