I've finally put some real mileage on wearing the Blades. If comfort is king these boots are royalty! I've put in some 20mi. days, over 4,000 vertical feet a few times, walked in snow, mud, through creeks and temps down to 18F. My feet have been warm, dry and never barked at me once. Not even when I started wearing them with a broken big toe.
These are the single most comfortable boots I have ever wore by a long shot. I am a 100% Danner convert now!
