Horrible quality

Familiarity:

I've used it several times

These boots lasted less than a year for me with mostly casual use and some camping/hiking. The sole looks brand new but the upper has completely fallen apart. Danner quality has apparently gone downhill.

Wow, I really hate how these feel. They?re the most uncomfortable things I?ve ever had on my feet, and they?ve actually made my plantar fasciitis flare up again (it had been doing great). I didn?t only wear these either; I alternated between these boots and other shoes. I want to like them, because they look good and they seem well-constructed. Plus, everyone raves about Danners and they?re not cheap. I thought they were like a sneaker/boot hybrid, so I figured they?d be more comfortable than a boot, but I was wrong! They?re stiff and heavy. I understood they might require some breaking in, so I immediately added insoles and I wore them around the house for short periods before hitting the trails and pavement. I should have just returned them right away, because they felt awful. They dig in around the ankle area, and there?s some additional material that pushes into my shin because of the waterproof tongue thing. There was also some digging in across the top of the foot. When I?m wearing them, I can?t wait to get home and tear them off. After putting around 15-20 miles on them, they?re only marginally better. The digging in at the top of the foot has decreased due to the break-in process, but they?re still frustratingly uncomfortable elsewhere. The right one also makes a weird ?thunk? noise with each step that hasn?t diminished (despite me trying them with two different brands of insoles), and I can?t figure out what?s causing it. Maybe a manufacturing defect? The reviews were mostly positive, so I don?t know if I got some duds or if I?m unusually sensitive. I won?t buy Danners again, and I wouldn?t recommend these for anyone who has plantar fasciitis or sensitive feet (as I clearly must have). These will collect dust in the back of my closet, unfortunately. I obviously can?t return them now because I wore them outside (I was being naive about breaking them in and thinking that would help make them more comfortable)but at least they taught me a lesson about being more selective about my footwear.

Garbage

I bought these boots with high hopes of quality that this brand is supposed to stand for. I literally drove in them on the first day of wearing and by the second day they are falling apart. Very disappointed in this brand.
