Danner Expedition GTX Hiking Boot - Men's - 2007

These are great boots that will function for a host of outdoor activities and never quit! I have used them for hiking though the woods in Minnesota winter as well as hunting in semi-frozen swamps, bogs, and other types of wetlands. These have been great boots, I don't get any blisters and they keep my feet dry.

I bought these boots for a season working trail crew for the Forest Service. These were absolutely amazing during the early season when everything was wet and my co-workers feat got soaked. I put quite a few miles on them for work, and climbing peaks in Glacier National Park during my time off. I did some semi-technical scrambling on some peaks (5.6-7ish, probably should have been using ropes after all it would have been a couple thousand foot fall if I slipped...) and these boots performed pretty well. By the end of it, I had completely shredded them, and Danner's generous warranty covered them (rare for footware). Favorite boats I ever owned.

These boots are great for the field work that I do as a wildlife technician for state fish and game agencies, doing hiking, fencing, tree planting, stream survey work, etc.. My last pair lasted almost 2 years with much abuse in wet grass fields, muddy ditches, etc.. The rubber toe end helps prevent wear. The Obenaufs Leather Oil with two coats when bought new and additional coat during the year really saves the leather, works well!! The free shipping is nice, although I'd pay a little extra for some more tape on the box, than the one piece that was on it, the box was half open when I got it.. I may look into the Danner Talus GTX model 43511 for my future pair, they even have more rubber protection around the sides of the boot, Great price on the boots! The stitching is usually the first thing to go, then the inner Gore-tex will start to leak, I trashed the rubber soles from pushing in steel tee posts, so that's a no-no. I have high hopes for these boots and they should last well!! Thank again!

I bought these last summer when i was over at my dads ( LA ) for a hike up near bishop. Unfortunately i got the boots the day before the trip so didnt really have much time to break them in. However the boots still felt comfortable and i came away from the 3 day 2 night trip blisterless and happy :). I bought the boots to replace some bomber zamberland leather boots and i can happily say theyv'e stood up to everything I've put them through over here in the UK . Terential Downpours of the lakes , super heavy snow this winter and various mountain hikes in scotland and wales. Bottom line : Great boots , warm ! , waterproof , sturdy and comfy all for a Great Price :)

Feels like I'm standing on a cloud or something...

These are going to be your traditional stiff momma boot that is very burly and solid. the sole is your classic Vibram which is totally burly. They support very well on the trail and the lugs are great for gripping. I actually took them running with a pack on the other night to train for Rainier and it may sound weird but they were really great for that. Waterproof fabric, solid lacing, great boot. Danner may not be noticed like all the other brands, but it seriously is a killer company with solid boots. I would wear these over a The North Face, Merrel, Vasque, Asolo boot any day.
