Rainforests clean't up and now with Baker Shoe boot laces
-
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..).

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. -
Chuffed you got them @weftyarn, and that you are putting them to work.

Hello gents,
I`m thinking of getting a pair of Danner Mountain Light boots and I'm curious how the sizing would fit. I do have wide feets so for Red Wings I am wearing Iron Rangers 8111 in EE sizze 7.5. Has anyone experience in comparable sizing wir Iron Ranger so Danner Mountain Light boots as well as weight, comfort etc.? Many thanks for your advice. Cheers, Chris

I have a pair of mountain lights I got from Stumptown awhile back that are in size ee. They fight about a half size bigger in length. Very sturdy boots! I don’t wear them much unless the weather is bad.
-
I talked to a shop online and they told me that in comparison to the red wing iron rangers the Danner mountain light boots run a half size shorter so when I‘m currently wearing my iron ranger boots EE (wide) in 7.5 they recommended sizing up half a size to 8.
Might give it a try and worst case return them. -
