Good shoes. The old school Birkenstocks completely eliminated my back pain. A good office chair and desk to avoid posture issues.

I completely agree with this one. I used to use shoes and boots without caring until my feet started to feel uneasy. I switched boots and started to use insoles in some of them (specially my bigger vegan punk boots), also switched chairs.

I have little to none back/feet pain even after using boots all day. Still, walking in concrete will always be more tiring than soft floors.

Do boots make a huge difference? I never tried them because they felt too heavy and tired out my back.

Well, I love boots, but I wouldn't recommend them if you don't feel comfortable using them. You could try a different model to see if it fits you, but stick with what's better for your health. ;)
