Men's Danner 453 GTX

I use these for my hunting boots when I am not working in them. Just a good all around good product.

Im a lanscaper and Im on all kinds of terrain in all weather conditions. 17 yrs in the buisness, best boots I ever bought.

It's a toss up as to which I like the best--the free shipping or these boots. I really do like them and they are truly waterproof.

I'm hesitant to order shoes or boots online because of the critical factor of getting the right size. I ordered a half size larger as suggested and they fit just fine. They required very little break in. They aren't too heavy or bulky. I wore them recently all day long while fishing on a small boat and they were very comfortable. The inside of the boots in the ankle area left brown stains on my white socks which don't wash out easily so be aware of that.

I bought these boots right before a hunting trip. I didn't really have any time for break-in, wore them on the plane and then started walking up and down hills. 4 - 8 miles a day in steep, rocky terain pushing through sage brush and heavy timber. Crossing creeks and side-hilling for hours through sunny dry conditions, rain and snow for 10 days. The boots were excellent. Kept my feet dry and comfortable in all conditions. The shank and the ankle support are very stiff and thats a good thing when you're side-hilling a 60 degree + slope of sage brush and loose gravel. The only problem I had was about 3 days in they started wearing a spot on the top of my arches. The arch on the insole is a little too sharp for me. I put a band-aid on it and was fine the rest of the trip. Good thing is the insoles come out and I can replace them with one that fits my foot better. If I was buying boots for light day hiking on trails I'd probably buy something a little softer but for back country all terrain hiking this is an excellent boot.

Just returned from glacier nat'l park and boots performed great. Great support, kept feet dry,wore them sunrise to sunset no problems.
