Danner  Jag Hiking Boots - Women's

I wanted to fall in love with these boots because they're so comfortable and cute! I purchased this pair in October of 2020, and after a few months of walking in snow in the park the waterproof barrier faded. I tried all kinds of waterproof sprays but water still leaked in. Danner had great customer service and actually helped me to return my first pair in exchange for a new pair for free in July 2021. Those also were waterproof for a few months but unfortunately have already lost the waterproof barrier now in October 2021. I like to take my dog for walks in the park in the mornings, and in these boots my feet come back home soaked from walking in grass (not even through puddles of water or streams). That is pretty unacceptable for a boot that says it's waterproof. I feel like I lost $160 and now need to look elsewhere so that I can walk securely through wet grass in the mornings. The company and customers need to be aware that this is a faulty product which needs to be re-assessed and re-designed.

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.

Great boot construction and design and doesn't feel too heavy on the feet (I am 5'2" and 51kg). I got a size 39 (I have long and narrow feet) cause I am going to wear thick socks with it when I travel but I could also fit in 38. 5. I am honestly not going to use this for hiking but for city streets and travel. Can't wait to use these.

These boots are amazing! They are lightweight, sturdy, and look great. I chose my regular size and they fit perfect.

You don't have to worry on slippery areas because you wear Danner shoes! It won't slipped. ☺️ happy of my Danner!

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 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 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 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 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!
