I have owned two pairs and ready to buy third. Typically get two to three years of moderate use from these comfortable boots. From hiking in the redwoods, east of the Cascades to low country South Carolina, these boots have been my go to.
I have owned Danners for close to 20 years a love them. This is my second pair of 2650’s. They are comfortable right out of the box and fit perfect. I use these for hiking and trail running. They are light with a great tread and support.
No idea if shoes are any good as they were never delivered. I never received and I was never issued a refund or anything. REI points to post office and post office points to REI. Meanwhile I’m out a few hundred dollars
