Took a chance and ordered these boots to arrive the day before I left for an 8 day tour of Iceland and they are INCREDIBLE!!!! No break in time necessary; in fact, it felt like I was walking on air 12 hrs/day. They are 100% waterproof. I was able to walk behind waterfalls, throw on crampons for glacier hikes, and trudge through mud with my toes staying toasty warm & dry the entire trip. Since I've been back in NYC, I've been wearing them for 12 hour production days and they are sooooo comfy. Love, love, LOVE these boots!

Got these as a gift for my girlfriend and she is loving them. Super comfortable right away, with hiking boot support and running shoe "feel". The Vibram sole is grippy, and not as stiff and cumbersome as other boots out there. Also the waterproofing has been put to the test with multiple hikes through .5-2 feet of snow and no leaks.

Loving these boots! Way more comfortable than I was expecting.

I wore these on my trip to Iceland walking through streams, hiking in mud, and all around wear. I love them they are so comfortable out the box. I did not have to break them in at all. I went with my standard 8.5, I don't wear thick hiking socks, and they fit perfectly.

I don’t have wide feet but these boots didn’t have nearly enough room when I had all my weight on the balls of my feet. Comfortable and lightweight otherwise. I wish they fit!

I purchased these for a few reasons: 1) the tred and grip on these is made by Continental, so you know they're going to grip any surface you put them on. 2) Danner's brand of being durable, supportive, and delivers on quality. 3) they are waterproof.

So far I haven't been disappointed. They do require that you lace them just so, otherwise there can be some pinching or rubbing. But take the time to lace them properly and with the right amount of pressure and you'll never want to take them off. They have decent ankle support, more than I expected them to have. The classic look is also a selling point for me. I love the classic hiking boot look.

I sized UP to a 7.0 when I almost always wear a 6.5 - I always recommend sizing a half size up in hiking boots. They fit snugger and you have thicker wool socks on (or should have at least).

Sent them back...probably more of an urban walking shoe and not appropriate for hiking or support. I was surprised at the lack of quality in a Danner

These hiking boots are absolutely amazing! I went on one short hike with them, then did a weekend backpacking trip through Southern Utah and they didn't need any breaking in. Super comfortable, sturdy, durable, and provide excellent support and stability. Would highly recommend to anyone!

Christmas present for my wife. The first time she wore them she hiked 10 miles - no blisters and comfortable the whole time! She loves the way they fit and look. Highly recommend.

These boots were worth me sending them back and forth three times for different sizes/colors. I read that they ran big, so I sized down. Wore them on a hiking trip and they gave me blisters on my pinky toes and had some toe jamming going on in the toe box. Of course, Backcountry is always so nice about returning/exchanging items so I ended up just getting my regular size, 7.5. If you have wider feet like me, it's probably best to stick to your true size otherwise they will fit snug. Two hiking trips in and we're good to go. I get lots of compliments on them and I can wear them while walking the dogs or going to the park.

I’d been eyeing these boots for over a year and when I finally saw them on sale I went for it. 100% satisfied with the appearance, fit, quality, comfort, and versatility. I would pay full price for these now that I’ve owned a pair. Took little to no breaking in. They look cute paired with skinny jeans and a flannel running errands, or with hiking pants getting after it in the backcountry. I usually wear a 7, sometimes 6.5, went with a 7 on these and they fit great.

These boots are amazing right out of the box.
3 week trip to Patagonia crossing streams , hiking all types of terrain, with not a drop of water inside. lightweight and oh so comfortable..Have never been so happy with a hiking boot. I wear and 8 in shoes and bought an 8. Fits perfectly with a hiking sock and liner...Don't hesitate on these..

Hardly any break in period. I took them on a 15 mile trek without any blisters. Exceptionally comfortable and really love the design.

I am notoriously hard on my equipment. I left my last boots in Cuzco, Peru a few months ago, after a 100mi+ hike killed 'em dead for the last time, and I was a bit devastated by it - you get a personal connection with the gear you sweat and bleed your adventures into, you know? It took a long time to work myself into committing to new boots, but since I live in the PNW, I needed some good ones to be my new side kicks (zing!).



After much research and trying boots on across the spectrum of what's out there (high ankle, low ankle, weight variables, fit, waterproof ratings, oh my!), I tried on these boots and was absolutely floored. The comfort and stability of these, right out of the box, was incredible!



Our first adventure was tredging waist-deep through a gorge for a day. They dried out and sprung right back. They were lightweight and protected my feet against the river rocks and boulders.



Our next adventure was camping amongst the wildflowers and glaciers in the Goat Rocks Wilderness. After many miles of hiking, I had a couple of sore spots on my baby toes and the inside of the widest part of my foot. I've never had boots that didn't do this while I'm wearing them in, and have found these to so far be the least intense for a wearing-in process for long-term boots.



It's safe to say that there are an incredible amount of adventures ahead with these boots, and I am already in love!



**P.S. the red laces are WONDERFUL!!

Seriously. The BEST. It's like walking on air. Like pillowy cushions for your feet. These are the best hiking boots I've ever owned.

I couldn't have asked for a better pair of hiking boots. They are pretty lightweight and super comfortable.

These fit my narrow, "low-volume" feet perfectly. I wear a size 10 running shoe, 9.5 in most boots, and 8.5 in sandals. Got the Danner 600 in size 9 and couldn't ask for a better, more comfortable fit. I've put 15 happy day hike miles on them so far and can't wait to take them backpacking!

I am very pleased with how comfortable these boot are. I went on a pretty extensive hike my first time wearing them! No blisters and my feet didn't hurt!! So the breaking them in is awesome!! I ordered my true size and they fit great!

Not only are these boots very high quality and a solid hiking boot they are also stylish! You're able to wear these out casually, or even for a more laid back camping trip and still look really cute. I can't wait to take them out this summer for some good backpacking trips!
