Long-term commitment
4 years ago
I have waited a very long time to write this review; bear with me. I ordered these in early December, to give ample break-in time for a March Grand Canyon rim-to-rim (21-mile) day hike. The first few wears, I had to adjust the lacing a lot to get them to feel just right and to avoid some rubbing on the ankles. Once I got that dialed, and replaced the inserts with SuperFeet, these were STELLAR. I stepped in a frozen mud puddle in December and my whole foot was submerged--never felt wet. We completed the 21-miler yesterday, and these boots saw me through the whole thing with no pain. I'm a Danner lifer now.

Squeaky Boots!
2 years ago
I purchased these boots a year and a half ago and about 2 months ago they developed a very loud squeak. It is both boots and it happens no matter what surface I walk on. I contacted customer support and tried all their recommendations (leather conditioner, new insoles, etc) but nothing worked and I am past the 1 year warranty. The squeak is so loud that I am embarrassed to wear these boots in public. I'm afraid to buy another pair for fear they will develop the same issue. I hate this because I otherwise LOVE these boots. They are comfortable and stylish.

I gave it a 4
3 years ago
I gave it a 4 because the joint where the liner meets the outer leather stitching was sticking towards the ankle and was very sharp and uncomfortable. I was going to send them back, but my husband looked at them and said he could fix them. He took them and put them on his anvil and pounded on the sharp spots with a cobblers hammer and softened the knife sharp points into the soft, supple, pouting yummy leather they were designed to be. I tried them on again and they were perfect. Everybody needs a partner that can make the little imperfections perfect.

I typically love danner boots
4 years ago
I typically love danner boots and wear them for everything from farming to backpacking. I bought these specifically for hiking and I must say that they’re more of a sturdy street shoe. The fit is good, I actually sized a half size down and they fit well. However, the tread is sub-par for the amount of hiking I do. Thus, I will probably wear them out and about, but buy a pair of mountain 600s (which I’ve had before and LOVED) for any intense hiking or backpacking. That said, they’re a nice little comfy boot for wearing around town or doing light hiking.

I now have three pairs

I now have three pairs of these boots. I wore the ‘Desert’ pair for more than a year before I realized they were not waterproof. They are lightweight, fit great right out of the box, can be laced tight or barely at all. Way better lateral stability than a trail runner, but not much arch support—if you need it buy insoles. The soles are grippy in all conditions—I log hundreds of miles a year in these—in the neighborhood with the dog, and on the trails in CO. If it’s not sandal season, chances are I’m wearing these. Collect em all!

Really excited about these hiking
4 years ago
Really excited about these hiking boots! Wore them to Colorado with very little break in period. LOVE the feminine colors-the turquoise is great! I was worried about the dark brown leather being too dark but the blue and lighter laces make them perfect. I bought my regular size 8. Rubbed a little rough on my ankle when tied tight- but I think this will soften up after more use and not be a problem. Hiked 16 miles in 3 days and not a blister and sore spot. Waterproof too as I crossed a couple creeks and stayed dry! Great boot!

Not going to last
6 years ago
I really wanted to like these as I am always on the prowl for hiking boots that look great and work great. I am an avid hiker and I wore these for one short 4 mile hike and I knew they just weren't going to last. I was hoping to take them to Torres del Paine with me but they did not go. While they were very comfortable and light, the side of the boots did not have enough structure. It felt like the fabric was simply not thick enough. I returned these.
No, I do not recommend this product

Absolutely phenomenal boots
4 years ago
I don’t hike really, but I am a farmer. I am on my feet doing heavy work all day long on all kinds of terrain and these are AMAZING. They are so comfortable and did not need breaking in. They are true to size or maybe slightly big. I can wear them with thin or thick socks and both feel fine. These are TOTALLY waterproof!! I was watering a small garden bed and didn’t realize that the hose was leaking directly into the top of my foot. I could have wrung these boots out but not a DROP was inside- my socks were completely dry. I’ve had these boots caked in thick mud, burned pasture char, in animal pens, and in muddy puddles. They perform in everything Ive thrown at them. To me they were a splurge because of the price, but I’ll tell ya- I’m going to buy another pair. They’re worth every penny.

Comfortable and Durable
4 years ago
I purchased these for a hiking trip to Big Bend National Park. I first tried the 2650 GTX, because I wanted a light weight durable hiking shoe, but they were just not comfortable and fit a little tight for me. I sent them back with no problems and went with the jag style in the same size. I am so happy with these boots! They took one local hike to wear in a little. The top of the boot was a little stiff, but like I said after one wear it did the trick. They have a little room, but I wear thick wool socks on my hikes so they fit perfect with the socks. This is the most comfortable hiking shoe I have owned. They are light weight for a boot, have good traction and I could comfortably wear them all day. They were easy to clean. I just hosed them down with water and they dried overnight. Overall great boot!

These Boots Are Great

The only thing I would recommend is getting a half size bigger than you usually would as my regular size was too tight for me. Wore them for the first time on a 5K loaded hike the other day and I was surprised by how much traction there was, they were better than my Rocky's. The only other complaint I would have is the length of the shoelaces, I will probably go buy my own shorter ones. Well designed boots that look nice too. Would recommend to anyone and everyone!
