Thanks for reviewing this boot. Coincidentally, I was recently looking at this model for a new light-duty hiking boot, as they're offered in EE width. I'm very much into foot-friendly footwear, zero drop with a wide toe box. This type of hiking boot is far from "barefoot" or minimalist, yet it's not excessive. These boots can be resoled to have the heel block and shank removed and a zero-drop sole glued on, without having to re-build the entire lower half. That ads on another $200 + to the cost of an already expensive boot. FWIW, I much prefer the Vibram Sierra sole over the Kletterlift sole. As you stated, I too wish these boots had a leather lining instead of fabric.

5:46 Have had my Huckberry/Danner collab Mountain Passes in Goldrush for a few years. Gore-Tex lined (and there are a couple other versions that are still). Super comfortable right away/no breaking in. I think the lining was the big reason for the price hike over the standard versions when I bought them, and the one off colorway.

Can you give a little more detail about what your use case is for Danner boots? Would you use any of them for elk hunting? In the 1960s and 1970s Danner was popular as low-mid priced light to moderate backpacking boot. The best boots intended for heavy backpacking - mountaineering (alpine/mixed climbing) were made in Europe; Galibier, Trappeur, Fabiano, Lowa, Kastinger, Raichle... It would be nice to see how they compare. Galibier was still making their classic boots in 2020 ($440 for new Super Guides from Au Vieux Campeur, or $462 +shipping from Montaz in France, ~$150 used on eBay). I bought a pair of Alico Summit boots built in the old school style, with excellent materials and craftsmanship for $160 shipped in 2016 from Sierra Trading Post when they were still a top discounter.

@whatsaaronthink 3 ай бұрын

Been really enjoying the Danner series. I bought a pair of Light II s, because I was sort of worried about the the same thing you mentioned, using the "heritage" halo, but making more of a street boot. For whatever reason I thought the Light series might be a more purpose built hiker. I have nothing to base that on other than the story my brain made up as I tried to sort out the differences in all the virtually identical version. There are currently 4 versions of the Light that I can see, and just like the Mountain, they all seem nearly the same. Anyway, if you want to continue the Danner series, please do the Lights next, I'd love to know if I was right or just making stuff up to rationalize my purchase.

I know I've commented before, but I am greatly curious as to what your evaluation of Danner's Elk Hunter boots will end up being. For my part, they've been extremely disappointing. I just redid my video on my thoughts with these boots and Danner as a company here ( kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rMd3ZM9zscixops.html ). I seem to be back in the market for a new set of hunting boots. The only thing I like more than buying American, is buying Local. If Rose Anvil made hunting boots, i'd have to give them a serious look. (honestly I've already looked, but didn't find anything. ) Probably going shopping at sportsmans soon. Maybe get that pair of Crispi's I should have bought years ago.

The classic "Waffle-Stomper". Narrow boots at surreal prices. "Narrow Fit"being a feature! Popular since the 70s. Best worn with lederhosen or wide bell-bottoms. The perfect boot to watch your friends disappear up horsetail falls without you! The construction is quite serious so it is possible a talented cobbler can re-work these to fit the average foot. Hiking and climbing difficult terrain with boots that are too long on the foot is so dangerous and extremely common.
