I must say, these boots are super light, feels like I have sneakers on. I'm gearing up to pump out and I wanted a good pair of boots. I hate the issued boots and my Converse Desert boots are about to wear out. Went over to good 'ol Amazon and found great reviews for this product. Purchased them from here as well.

First, shipping was amazing! I ordered them on a Friday night, early on Saturday morning I got an email saying that it had been shipped. Early afternoon on Monday guess what pops up at my door? ...fricken FedEx with my boots. 2nd Day air shipping to Hawaii with the Super Saver shipping option. Amazing.

Second- The boots are light as heck and I felt like doing a couple miles in them (my old body and tired feet said no). So I just opted to put my insoles in them and take a walk around Costco for a bit. Overall, they feel pretty good. They are a little tight with my custom insoles in them but they fit perfect with the original ones that came with them. Im thinking that I should have bought a half size bigger (for my custom insoles) or I just need to break them in. For now, I think Ill just wear them around to stretch them out.

** So for those who think they run small or big, nah, its not true. I wear a size 10.5 wide boots and thats what I ordered. They fit good. The problem with other people being too small or big is maybe the old boots that they wore ran small or big. I had a pair like that that ran big so a 10.5 was too big. Had to reorder a size 10 even though I naturally wear a 10.5. But YMMV.

Great boots, yeah its a little pricey but you pay for quality boots. Danner makes quality boots.

The first pair I received the right insert had something wrong with it, it hurt my foot. The left boot had a small black speck on the toe. Sent them back. Second pair arrived I didn't even try on. They looked like seconds, smudges and a small cut 1/8" on one of toes near the sole. Amozon handled it pretty well but I lost the 20% coupon that I used on these.
This was not my first pair of Danners of this type, never had these problems before. I needed these boots pretty bad and the price was good, but the quality was terrible so I returned both pair and had to buy another pair of Danners at twice the cost of these. Very disappointed.

These are a great pair of boots. I am on my second pair. Tip: break in a new pair before you completely wear out the old pair. These are comfortable enough I routinely wear them to work (I work in an office). I have worn many boots over the years. These are way ahead of the old combat boots I had in-service and light-years better than the old Viet Nam "jungle boots". I usually only buy Lowa boots. They are the best boots you can buy in my opinion. But I mainly use Lowa for heavier-duty use. These rate close to the Lowa boots considering they are a light-weight boot. Danner is a good name in boots and based on these their reputation is well deserved. My first pair were a size 8.5 and fit well. The second pair I just bought are size 9 and fit like the old 8.5's. Maybe they changed something in the boot pattern or whatever but the quality and fit (in the half-size larger) is just as good as my original pair. These break-in well, also. It doesn't take long and they feel pretty good right out of the box. You can't go wrong with this boot. Especially for the money. I like these better than my $300 Lowa desert boots. The speed laces work well. Put a figure 8 stopper knot in the ends or the laces to keep them from pulling out of the eyelets. The insoles that come with them are a little better than the crap that comes with most shoes or boots but I replace them with New Balance cushioning insoles anyway. I use the same ones I use in my running shoes that have good arch support. Another tip is you can use paracord to replace the laces. Paracord is always handy to have and you can buy it on Amazon, too. These are nice boots.

These are the second pair of boots I have owned of this style. My first pair are the most comfortable boots I have ever worn. I wore the previous boots just about every day for the past 3 years. Had to replace just due to wear of the sole, but still wearable in the field. Only down side would be that the laces will wear out after about a year and I replaced with 550 cord and made my own laces. Those are still being used. These boots are light and comfortable. Need a bit of breaking in, but once they are, they perform well. Have used them in various conditions from street, to woods to sand, and all have done well. A bit slippery on ice, more so than other boots. boots are good for any temperature. Hot or cold. I recommend these boots to whomever asks about what boots to buy.

just got them in....

pro's: light weight, nice leather, hopefully the materials came from America.

con's: narrow. I ordered EE width and still not that wide. don't seem to form to my foot well. arch is too low. laces are a pain because they go on forever. start at the top and work down to put them on and then bottom up after you get them on, "takes about 5 minutes". OMG, TOO expensive, really! made in china :-(. For that kind of money they should be made in America, would make me feel a little better about it!. buyers remorse....
