Danner  Logger 917 GTX Boots - Men's

I don’t know why I was suspect of this lifestyle boot. I didn’t like the Kilties; the tall height. I’m a huge Danner fan and I’ve worn many other brands. But the minute I slipped them on and walked to Pike Place, I knew they were a Keeper. Great dual midsole, love the white sole and wonderful dependable vibram. I’m an avid leather conditioner and these Loggers feel worn in and do have the high top sneaker feel. I needed a causal GTX shoe, now it’s a boot. I love it. It’s now my “Go 2” daily shoe even in this summer. It’s breathable & lightweight! I did replace the OEM footbed with carbon Superfeet. It’s perfect now. Thanks 4 your impeccable craftsmanship, materials, GTX & sole!!

Been wearing these pretty heavy for a couple of weeks. The color is a little on the green side but don’t let that freak you out… they look even better with wear, the Gortex actually works. You can take the little thing out from the bottom laces if you like.

Light as running shoes, solid as hiking boots, fit like a glove, waterproof, and look great! This is my second pair. My first pair, on the left, is about 5 years old. I inititally wore these to my office job, but as they got older I hiked and walked everwhere in them. When they started getting beat up, I wore them mostly as work boots. No problems with the stitching, the eyelets, or the hooks, I'm still on the first set of laces, and they are still waterproof. My second pair, on the right, I put on for the first time this morning before hiking 6 miles. Super easy to break in. DON'T STOP MAKING THESE BOOTS!

This is my second pair of Danners. I have a different pair for work/homesteading, and this pair for casual wear. I wear an actual 11. 5 and both of these fit perfectly perfectly. They are comfortable right out of the box. They are crafted extremely well in my opinion. My work pair (moc toe loggers) have taken an absolute beating, and are holding up fantastic. I’ve found my brand, and I’ll stick to it as long as they keep making quality footwear.

Really like these boots. They look great and are really comfortable overall. I find the outer edges of the collar exert more pressure on my legs, which can get a little painful after a while. Not sure if that's the specific pair I got or the way I walk, but it's a minor annoyance. I typically wear size 11 and grabbed these in 11.5, unsure if that would work. They fit great—nice and secure. I think these are just a little longer in the toe, so some folks feel like they need to size down. Doesn't bother me. Black is nice. I'll probably grab a pair in another color for variety. Would be great if these were made in the US and could be resoled.

I have two pair of these. One for work and one for everyday. These boots are seriously the best work boots. They probably won’t hold up as long due to my rugged use at work but these boots are so comfortable. I could wear these boots all day long with no complaints and these are super stylish. I REALLY HOPE THEY MAKE THESE IN A CHARCOAL LIKE THE WOMENS. I bought my wife the women’s charcoal and she loves them. I liked them so much I almost bought women’s but unfortunately they didn’t make the size I would have needed. DANNER please make the men’s all charcoal! If you are considering this boot I wouldn’t think twice.

These boots really do feel broken in right out of the box. They're very lightweight like the weight of a sneaker. This is my 5th pair of Danner boots, all different styles and these are my favorite. I wear a size 13 on average and the Danner size 13 have always been just barely big enough for me to wear. Well these boots are one of the few that come in a size 14 so I sprung for this size and finally have a pair of boots with some slight toe box room. They fit perfectly, and it's cool they're recraftable.

Bought in the same size as my Forest Chukka, but they didn’t fit. The chukkas are a bit narrow, but the Loggers were so narrow that my foot made the leather bulge over the side of the sole a bit. Going up a half size may have made them fit without going too big in the length. I didn’t like the look of them enough to bother. In person they look like a leather tennis shoe. Also, as a contributing factor, I dislike the current trend for white mid-soles on black shoes. If I had liked the look of the boots better I would have ignored that part. On the plus side, they are well made. The leather is nice, and the soles seem like they would be comfortable in the boots had fit.

I really like these boots. I love the shape and style and the color is so awesome. They’re comfortable and provide just the right amount of cushion and support. The pacific northwest is its own beast regarding climate, that said these boots are hot on your feet. The leather in combination with the gortex traps heat inside. Also, for a hiker, the leading edge of the sole, wear the leather of the toe meets the sole could benefit from and upturned piece of rubber like a running sneaker or more modern hiker like the mountain 600. I understand the appeal of an all leather gortex lined hiker, but these, while they look and overall feel great, are a very warm, non breathable boot.

These are more of a dressed/tennis shoe with a narrower toe box. The leather seems to be 2 oz (dress) vs a more daily/casual use shoe of 4 to 6 oz I was looking for. The main reason I bought these was the additional foot cushion for walking and standing on concrete daily and the grip these (white soles) have on slippery surfaces like flat wet concrete or membrane roofs that are slick when wet or icy. (some were changed to improve wear resistance on asphalt but it's a guessing game to select the non wear resistance sole) I kept them because I wore them once and were suffed them so I couldn't return them.
