Left side of boot causing blisters
I've been wanting to get a quality hiker like these for a while and the timing finally aligned. These took a few walks to get broken in (the leather was a bit firm on the initial wears), but now that they have they feel like butter. A timeless silhouette — I'm hoping these last me 20 years. They run a bit large so I sized down .5 and still have room for cushy wool hiking socks.
I was searching for this style of hiking boots for some time, and when I seen them I knew that these were the boots I wanted, and then to find out they were made in the USA I was completely sold on them! These hiking boots are a wonderful work of art! I will continue to buy from the Danner boot line as long as they continue to make master pieces like this!
These are my 1st pair of danner boots and after doing a very strong research and I must say I made the right decision to get these boots. They are very comfortable and the built around the soles are well done.
I really like the boots. My only wish is that it had said they were triple wide or whatever it's called when it's not a normal width boot so they are a little loose but nothing think winter socks won't fix.
Was fired from my job for being a slouch, seen these in the locker room and walked out with them... Man are they comfortable!!! I highly recommend!
Love these boots. High quality and hope they will last me a lifetime. Already getting tons of compliments
