Poor materials
By eiresurg
UPDATE:I originally reviewed these boots after only a week of wear, so this is an update after 6 months of wear. This is my first pair of Danner boots. I wear them everyday, sometimes all day. They have been worn on a 5 mile hike and around the office. I have had them in water. I have provided no care (polish, oil, waterproofing, etc.) Overall, I am disappointed in these boots for the price. I bought them because they are "Made In The USA" and because there are so many good reviews and anecdotal stories of people having their Danner boots for decades with great satifaction. I don't see that happening with these boots for me. These are well crafted, but the materials are very poor except for the Vibram sole.APPEARANCE:They look just as they do in the image. The image provided is representative. I have worn them to the office with khakis and have gotten compliments from clients. I haven't tried to polish them, yet.LEATHER:Very Poor!! At first, I was surprised how soft the leather was and how very little break-in was necessary. However, this is because the leather is so thin there is nothing to break-in. Additionally, they have put some sort of rubberized coating on the leather. It almost seems like a latex paint. Because of this, the coloring is unnatural appearing. Out of the box it gives the boots a soft comfortable feel. It doesn't take long to realize this is merely superficial. It has mostly scraped off the toe of the boot with very light use. The only other time I have seen this is on a pair of VERY cheap boots I bought from K-Mart while I was in college. I bought these boots to last me for years. They're not going to make it. The leather is garbage and very disappointing for such an expensive boot.OUT-SOLES:Best thing about the boots. Quality Vibram soles as you would expect. They are a typical lug with a middle layer of well-cushioned rubber similar, but more dense than that found on running shoes. The Vibram part is really only the outer most layer. This has worn very well. I question whether the mid-sole cushioning is going to last.LACING:5 eyelets, 4 hooks, 1 eyelet. Simple. The laces are a typical nylon braid found on most utility boots. There have been no problems keeping them laced up. Once tied up they stay that way for the day.INSIDE:They are lined with a nylon fabric simply to serve as a barrier between the wearer's foot and the Gore-tex. It seems to be holding up well. There aren't any leaks. I have had them up to the ankle in a creek or two. They come with a heal-cup type insert. This is made of a soft plastic material. The inserts are annoying in that they have to be re-positioned every time you put the boots on. Note, these are not insulated boots.COMFORT and SUPPORT:Surprisingly comfortable for the lack of support. The cushioning in the sole contributes to that. I find the heal inserts to help. I haven't tried them without the inserts. But, frankly, these boots should come with quality inserts with arch support that runs the length of the boot--especially for that price! On the one 5 mile hike I did with these, they didn't cut it. My feet were very sore in the end and there is zero ankle support. Admittedly, these are not hiking boots, but 5 miles over pretty moderate terrain is hardly a hike.SIZING:They seem perfectly true to size and width. There is no heal slippage and there is plenty of room in the toe-box, but not so much so that my feet are sliding around.PRICING:Far overpriced for the materials.Sadly, I'll never buy Danner again. I have a pair of Red Wing 2218 Lineman boots and they are much better boot with regard to durability and materials. Consider the Red Wing 4585 or 214 before you buy these.

Great Boots Out of the Box
By douglas
Got my boots to go hunting just a day before leaving for the trip. Hoped they would not require break-in as other reviews suggested, and indeed, they fit great on my narrow (A/B width) feet and were flexible and comfortable right out of the box. I did insert Super Feet orthotics in lieu of the provided half-orthotic. It does slightly increase the height of your foot in the boot to do so, but I like the comfort and extra arch support I get with the orthotics, and didn't cause any fit problems for me. If I had any sort of quibble with the boots, it would just be that they don't have padding at the top like the Danner's Trophy boots, but it's nothing that socks with some pad on the leg (I use snowboard socks) won't solve. So far, they've help up well in rocky and uneven terrain, and my feet weren't tired like they usually are after trudging around all day. A great investment, as I expect these pair to last me for decades (and be repairable/resole-able with the stitch-down boot) , unlike my last pair where the synthetic midsole just disintegrated after about 10 years.
