Men's Danner Radical 452 GTX

I am very active and have very flat feet & weak anckles. I need a very Supporting/Flexible/Well made shoe. This is the only shoe I have worn for the past 6 years (except for my tennis shoes @ the gym). Water proof, breathable and soft/tough leather.

I bought these boots in dark brown 6 years ago direct from Danner for $132 shipped. Initially, I thought that I would use them for day hikes and such. While they are definitely rugged enough for hiking and have miles of trails on them at this point, they are not too bulky for everyday use. In fact, I wear these things all the time and after more than 6 years of use, you can hardly tell. I wear them to work, in the yard, out and about, basically everywhere. They have taken the punishment of the trails, the snow, ice, mud, etc. and still look good enough to wear to the office. They are extremely comfortable, light, completely waterproof, and have required no maintenance--not even new laces. I'm a huge believer in Danner boots, I have worn them daily for years at work, but never believed that these lightweight Danners would deliver the way their stitch down leather boots do. I was wrong. While this type of sole cannot be replaced making them in essence disposable boots, with the way they have stood up over the past 6 years, I expect to get more than my money's worth. Take it from someone who is really, really particular about footwear, these are great boots.

These are the only boots that I will wear to work because they are so comfortable and durable. I even have them resoled after I wear them down to make them last longer, but when I do have to buy more, I will always buy another pair of these. I would highly recommend these boots!!

No reason to even try a different boot. I have had several pair of these over the years and you just can't beat them for comfort and durability. They fit perfect right out of the box.

Great boots. These boots are comfortable and give good support. Have used Danner work boots and Danner hiking boots. They are the best boots I have worn.
