I ordered this boot as something that would be warm and waterproof to wear in the winter/snow. I have walked around town in lots of snow and the traction of the sole is great while my feet stay dry with the waterproof exterior. My only issue was with sizing. I usually wear a 9 in sneakers and hiking shoes but ended up keeping the size 8. I have a narrow foot and found that tightening up the laces caused a fold in the boot/tongue that dug right into the bones of my ankle. This is a lot better with the small size and luckily it didn’t end up being too small for the length of my foot. Overall very happy with these!
Absolutely beautiful and comfortable. I own four pairs of Danner boots, but this is my favorite!! Handles well in snow and ice as well as muddy trails. It has a nice wide toe box, perfect for thick hiking socks or wool socks for the snow. Well done, Danner!
