      Just sent my overtons off to Danner for a resole. Going with the vibram sierra in their mojave color. Should have a bit of a military look and feel. Hoping I get more than six months out of a set of soles too!

        I've got the Danner Crater Rim (Combat Hiker) and find it to be a great boot.
        Before I had it, I had some random Danner boots that my grandpa had given to me that were a size to a size and a half too small and were part of someone's uniform working at the prison before they got left behind. They were god awful ugly, and clunkier than hell… but aside from these seemingly deal breaker issues, they were a pretty good boot, and I wore them. Maybe it was that they were free, maybe it was that they were Danners.  Whatever it was, all things aside they were a damn good boot for how much I hated them.

        I decided to get a Danner boot I would actually like that catered to something I'd actually be using it for and bought the Crater Rim. I chose this boot mostly for hiking mostly but also just as an everyday boot to wear on mild winter days where there might be some snow or puddles that would prove the waterproof GoreTex lining to be useful.  They've been absolutely great for that, though the sole is pretty stiff to get used to for all day urban wear. At least for me it is, that is... Other than that I really couldn't complain about a thing.
        For fall days hiking, or just hiking in general, these boots are hard to beat and actually look good if you're wearing them out in the streets 🙂

        It's a shame I never wear the Crater Rims anymore. I have other boots and ended up getting some Danner Mountain Lights to take their place since that model comes in an EE width, more apt to accommodate a thick wool sock, which I often catch myself needing to wear. Perhaps I'll remember to update on those soon.

        It's been a long while since anyone else has though, everyone moved on from Danner?

          I've never been a danner guy.  That said I was intrigued by the danner/wings&horns collab that just came out.  Figured I'd give em a try and send em back if I didn't like them.

          Suede outer with a goretex lining and an incredibly comfortable sole.  They sorta have the look of a desert boot and they are super light.  Looks like I'm keeping them.

          Fit is a little snug.  I'm usually a 9-9.5 d.  I went 9.5 with these and could have gotten a 10.  They will likely stretch with wear though.

              Hey, Riff.

              How did you size in comparison to the Mountain Light II? (They're both supposed to be EE widths, so I went with the same size. Not sure if that was the right call now…)

              Meek, mild and dishonest with a special place in Hell.

                I've never worn another pair of danners.  If it helps I'm a 9.5 in rw, 9 in Alden true balance.  I got 9.5 in these but in all honestly should have gotten 10.  It's not unbearably snug and after wearing them they've definitely stretched, but a little extra room wouldn't hurt.  These don't feel even remotely like an EE width to me though.

                Side note:  went hiking in these today and they were great.

                  also if anyone has a pair of the bull run 105's please post a fit pic here.  i'm eyeing up a pair but lace to toe always weirds me out.

                        I've just been admiring the Danner x Tanner collaboration. Unfortunately they only go up to a 13, and I'm typically a 14. But someone else might fancy a pair.

                        You can pick them up at Tanner Goods or Woodlands if overseas.

                          That appears to be a much more comfortable tongue pad. Great looking boot.

                            Just got a pair of those ^ and they definitely are snug, which was mentioned above as well. Should have sized up a half size, but they are stretching nicely.  Regardless, here is a pic with some 777-21's:

                                Waited for the after Christmas sale on the clymb and picked these up for cheap money.  Was never a lace to toe kinda guy but I really like these.  Super comfortable.

                                      I got a really good deal on these Danner hikers. The laces are indestructible Bloodline boot laces (1600 lb test strenth). You can find them on etsy. I got a not so good deal on the Chup socks from HBX.

                                      The boots are really nice quality for under $200. Waterproof Gore-tex and Vibram soles. They are very thick and yet lightweight.

                                        I've been wearing Danner Mountain 600 lows in waterproof suede for the past year.  I took them on a few 2 day hikes and other than that it's been just casual wear.  They feel like a sneaker but look a bit classier, and being totally waterproof is pretty awesome.  However, less than a year after buying them, the heel lining material started to wear through.

                                        I contacted them and they gave me an address to send the boots for warranty evaluation.  About 5 days later, I get a shipping notice from Danner.  I'm wondering if they have decided it's just "normal wear and tear" and are just sending the boots back to me.  Nope, it's a completely new pair.  So pretty awesome no questions asked fix from Danner.  The downside is the boots fit great, and I have no doubt that the same issue will come up again, unless they secretly strengthened the material while making it look and feel exactly the same.  I'll get another season out of them at least, but we'll see how they hold up.

                                          Just finished cleaning my Mountain Lights to make them ready for a summer that’s hopefully full of beautiful hikes.
                                          Can’t praise these enough: Sturdy, reliable, never got wet feet, never slipped, and damn are they beautiful.
                                          Have gotten more compliments on these than on any other boot I own (and I own quite a few..).

                                          62876127-7B60-462E-AC98-414084772AC4.jpeg

                                          Also, I can’t tell how proud I am to get the chance to continue the way too short journey of Mike‘s Mountain Pass,
                                          that will hopefully serve me well as the „lightweight brother“ of my MLs that in some scenarios happen to have some grams more than what my feet feel comfortable with.

                                          Use it or lose it.
