Danner

Mountain 600 4.5"

Women's

I bought this shoe because we are moving to Alaska and Danner is a recommended hiking boot. I don't like heavy shoes and this style was described as being more shoe like in fit. I often wear a size 9, which I ordered, but it fit too snug at the toe and on the sides of the toe box. I also felt like I was pronating in it. Unsure if I was really going to like the shoe I tried a 9.5. The difference was dramatic. I have plenty of room and I don't feel like I'm pronating either. I haven't actually worn these yet except around the house. My favorite feature other than how attractive they are is that the sole is flexible. Unlike my Keen hiking shoes, which have their own merits, these boots do feel like a regular shoe. So my foot moves instead of being locked in a coffin all day. I'm looking forward to breaking them in.

Wanted to love these. They are very comfortable however not enough toe room or support for me even with my orthotics. Had to return

In particular ill speak of the fine craftsmanship that goes into every pair of boots ive used, and to be honest its two pair. Fact is I purchased these two pair, One brown leather 3 inches below the knee,still as soft as calf leather, and the other and inch below the knee and made of leather and material. I know sounds typical. This is September 30th 2017 and i purchased them in October of 2002. Treads are perfect, no tears in the leather, and in both pair in temps under 10 below for over 10 t0 15 hours. These boots have traveked millions of miles, and been through every type of terrain from the Rokies ,The smokies, Adirondacks, you name it, theyve never let me down and warm. Comfortable. Too bad the Marine Corps didnt issue these babies. Good site Great product lines.

Love the vibrant sole, the classic hiker look. Quality materials. BUT my main reason for returning is that after some wear (several Miles) the ankle rubbed so bad I get swollen/bruising on the outside of my ankle. Also, they keep your feet dry from Outside elements, but the drawback is holding moisture in regardless of your wicking socks. Felt great at home, but after a few miles the rubbing was such a hindrance! So bad that I changed my gait - not good for distance hiking.

Somewhat pointy toe box--it bothered my left big toe.. Arch support noticeable (and more than I prefer) but not painful. Very comfortable around the ankles. Size 7.5 light brown with grey laces seemed on the small side. I wish this shoe were available in non-waterproof. They definitely left my feet damp after wearing around the house for 15 minutes.
