Danner boots are great.I was very lucky to be one of the guys to test those boots while I was in the Army. And that was over 20 years ago. ( Yea I old lol) They listned to us and made improvements and we got 2 pair of boots free that we used to walk 100 miles in. and they preformed great. Make sure you ask if the boot can be re soled as it will happen over time . Most of the danner boots can wich makes them a lifetime boot unlike other brands
