The Survey crew where I work are outside 8 to 10 hrs. a day 5 days a week they put there boots through all kinds of stuff. They said Danner. Just bought a pair of Danner Pronghorn a couple of weeks ago, $149.95. Have wore them a few timeslight and feel great. They also have a snake proof style really cool looking one of the crew guys just got a new pair today he said he could not beleave how light they are for snake proof.
