My 14er hiking boots
Danilox10 months ago
I bought these after my other brand hiking boots hook loop busted after the 3rd use. I wore the Danners once on a short hike then took them out on my first 14er. I’m 6 14ers in on the season with several other hikes in between and they’ve been fantastic. These boots didn’t require a break in period. They were not too stiff, the sole has great grip coming down steep descents, my toes never hurt or went numb, feet stayed dry walking through shallow creeks, and my feet never felt too hot. They were true to size for me, women’s 10. I would definitely recommend these boots.

No cushion

Took these out on a 7 miles hike and they killed my feet. I ordered a size up like I normally do and its much needed. I could feel the rocks under my feet, through the boot. If you're going to order, Id invest in cushion insoles. The toe box is pretty narrow as well.

Inca Trail Approved!
2 months ago
You guys!!! These boots have surpassed all expectations! From the rugged trails of Oregon to the iconic Inca Trail in Peru, they’ve been absolute game changers. Right out of the box, they fit like a glove—zero break-in period and not a single blister from day one, unlike several other brands I have tried. We faced some serious mud and water on the Inca Trail, and my feet stayed completely dry and comfortable all day long. I cannot recommend these boots enough for anyone looking for reliability, comfort, and durability on the trail!

Tested on a rainy 17 mile hike up Mt. LeConte!
4 days ago
I decided my trip to the Great Smokies was my sign to finally get real hiking boots. I went to the store and tried it on all the recommended boots, including the highly-rated Salomons. These were just the comfiest out the box (and they look the nicest, which is great). I wore them to a small forest hike to test them out and had no issues other than some soreness from the stiffness of the ankle. Then I wore them on a 17-mile hike up Mt. LeConte 3000 feet up... THESE. WERE. AMAZING. They're waterproof, rugged enough to protect a lot of tripping and stumbling, and the soles grip everything. I legit felt like a superhero who could walk up walls. Again, the only thing that bothered me after 17 miles was the ankles because they weren't fully broken in, and it was easy enough to mitigate by loosening the laces there. They were also easy to clean up with a damp rag and suede brush, so they're back to looking super cute. Pro tip - wait until an REI member sale (get a membership! it pays for itself!) and the Darn Tough ''micro crew" height wool hiking socks are the perfect height for these boots.

Found the Holy Grail
6 months ago
I’m a trail shoe girl because I have never found a pair of boots that fits me comfortably - and I’ve been searching for decades. I’ve bought and returned, bought and sold, or bought and given away every brand of boot you can think of. I just broke these in on a 7.5 mile moderately challenging hike and they’re a total win! For reference I wear anything from 8.5-9.5 and the ball of my foot is a little wide (but wide shoes are too wide). I got these in a 9.5 and they’re perfect with plenty of room for thick socks and making sure my toes don’t touch the front on the downhills. They don’t claim to have a wide toe box like my beloved Altra LPs but it was wide enough for me and had wiggle room for my toes. Are there less expensive boots? Sure. O find these worth every penny. Danner being able to re-sole them as needed is a huge bonus as well (for both my wallet and the landfill).

Fantastic support and instant comfort
8 months ago
I bought these in a wide size 1 month ago after being helped in-store to find a boot with arch support. I was moving on from my beloved Keens that I have worn the treads off, and these Danner boots perfectly fit the bill. I broke them in on mostly flat terrain of about 5-6 miles before taking them on a rock scrambling hike at Great Falls. These boots provided amazing ankle support, fitting snugly without restricting my movement across the rocks. My feet felt stable on the shoe bed with ample room across the forefoot while descending and the grip prevented most slips. My only slip on this hike came when crossing a sandy riverbank mid-hike when I'd grown overly trusting of the tread. And that was totally on me for forgetting the inherent physical properties of sand!! :) Overall, it's a great looking boot that I'm happy to lace up!

THE BEST shoes we’ve ever found!
5 months ago
These shoes are beyond comfortable at the first wearing!!!! 1 day of break in and I didn’t want to take them off. The sole is rugged. The upper is supportive. The shoe is substantial but not heavy like a brick on your feet. My husband and I tried 9 different high end hiking shoes and these beat them ALL. And my husband demands a very different shoe fit than I do. Go figure. Interestingly we both chose a size that was just a little roomier than a “perfect” fit and then we simply laced them more tightly. We went out for a 2 hour winter hike, and 3 hours after we were home (wiped them well on the door mat) and ate dinner, we finally took them off! I’ve been wearing them every day they’re so comfortable and perfect for going out in the mountains where we live. NowI have to put them away before our spring Ireland trip so I don’t wear them out. LOL. I’m only writing this review AFTER we’ve secured our pairs so all of you don’t run out and buy them and deplete their stock.

Good combination of trail shoe features in a boot.
8 months ago
I love trail running shoes for Piedmont area type hikes but wanted a boot for mountain type hikes. My criteria was Megagrip (like very much to prevent slipping), GTX, and foot comfort like a trail shoe, but with more high mud/water, foot, and ankle protection as offer by a boot. I have been happy with the Danner boot, but there are some caveats. It runs narrow before even starting to hike. Getting a wide solved that problem, but I normally don't need a wide (wide is generous side normal). There is no break-in time on the sole which is very nice. The the upper needs some break in time or softening treatment. I like the ankle top style (more support than shoe but not over restrictive), but some may prefer boots that offer more support around the boot top. Finally, a more ventilating non-leather boot may be better for hot summer hiking (at least use a light hiker socks and swap them if needed).

I bought these boots about a year and a half ago and I’ve put a little over 150 miles on them in all sorts of terrain. They’re breathable but also keep my feet dry when I’m walking through streams. The tread pattern makes it nearly impossible to slip even when crossing over wet rocks, they also help a lot with steep inclines.

Disappointing
3 months ago
I really wanted to like these because they’re so cute, but I was pretty disappointed. The pros: wide toe box and good aesthetics The cons: they let in moisture pretty easily, these are no where close to waterproof. There’s not much foot support, it’s a pretty flat sole, and the ankle area isn’t very sealed, so a lot of dirt and small rocks get into the shoe. Finally, the leather is way more delicate than past leather boots I have had. I tripped hiking and my trekking pole poked right through the upper section of the shoe. Kind of a specific issue with some user error for sure, but I couldn’t believe how easily it poked through the shoe. If you are getting them for your winter fit, they’re great, but if you actually want to do some serious hiking in them, I do not recommend these. I’m switching back to Keens
