Why are motorcycle boots so uncomfortable

I recently purchased a pair of motorcycle boots from Aldi. Yes they where cheap, $89 to be exact. But I just ride a motor scooter, and well they are bound to be safer than my dress boots that I have been wearing to date.

I guess there are a couple of problems, one they are guys shoes and while they say size 8, no way in hell are they an eight, more like size 10, but they where the smallest they had, so i have to wear mega thick socks which is cool, but i feel so clumsy walking around in them.

But the big problem is the location of the zipper. its small like most dress boots, but the leather of the boots is so thick and stiff I end up hurting my hands just to zip it up.

I have only worn them once, but am about to see if Aldi will take them back. here goes nothing.
