Danner  N45 Low Hiking Shoes - Men's

Was excited to find a breathable hiking shoe and love my other Danner boots, so I was hoping these would be great too. Firstly - I think I've got fairly normal feet. Never had a shoe that fit weird, just some are more comfortable than others. This one was a first that actually hurts. The ankle support and bracing material is cut too high and pushes up on my ankles. Thought a week or so of total wear would mold them but the issue seems to have gotten worse. Will be taking these back unfortunately. On the plus side, the sole cushioning and grip are amazing - really wish these fit. My advice, check them out in store.

I really wanted to like this shoes. I couldn't try it in the store so I bought it to try at home. The show is very well made and the outsole is fantastic! The fit is very slightly larger than my usual size. The part I could not overcome is the fitting around the ankle. It's padding is a bit too thick so it rubs. I know it would not go away so I had to return the shoes. Hopefully they come up with a V2. If they fix this issue, I'll be a customer again.

Great so far! I’ve had these a few months and find them comfortable for daily use in all climates and springy enough to keep a quick hiking pace, walk an old dog, and keep up with my 6 year old. Short runs feel good, the soles are grippy, and they’re not too high-I usually wear 0 drops. Def need ankle-ish length socks, the cuf can rub and irritate on longer walks. I’ve broken these in and look forward to taking them on a full-day or through hike soon.

Very comfortable with nice bounce on each step. On first serious hike, the shoe got wet while crossing stream; after drying the next day the area where the top meets the top rubber shrunk resulting in scratching of the toe area on both shoes when used. Returned for refund. Not sure if just defect on this pair of shoe or it is a general problem. First time use of Danner brand hiking shoes.

Some of the best shoes I’ve ever owned. First pair of Danners but trusted the brand on a blind purchase with no reviews and I’m so glad I did. I wear these as a daily worn shoe and they are comfortable enough, agile enough, and nice looking enough to wear to work and out walking the dog on trails. Awesome job, Danner. And thank you REI! Highly recommend these shoes.

I bought these men’s shoes on sale at the store. I’m a woman with a wide forefoot and skinny ankles. I appreciate having more space in the toe box. I’ve been hiking in wet, muddy, steep, rocky areas and these shoes have been great, they are very grippy. I’m very happy with them.

Good price on these quality Danner shoes. This must have been one of a kind, as it was marked 30% off regular price, which I would not have paid. REI has great product selection, but in general the prices are too high unless they have a sale or I find good used items there.

This is my second pair of Danner shoes, and they have not let me down. Very comfortable and true to size. Very stylish for hiking shoes. I would recommend these and buy them again.
