Mountain Light II

Got a 'Danner for J.Crew' email this morning.  I like that J.Crew highlights a lot of these brands - makes it easy to go buy them directly from the source cheaper

Danner Vertigo. The leather on these is buttery soft.

i really would love to have a look or two in your shoe/boot closet room!

Did a bit of research because I am nervous to get back on the trails with my mountain light II's although they may be the most comfortable hiking boots I've owned. I don't feel the ankle support is there when carrying a heavy pack or being on extremely rugged terrain. I spend all my time hiking the AT. I've decided to get another pair of Danner. Hopefully gave better results with these cant afford another incident with that ankle. Behold the danner crater rim

pull the trigger. gore-tex lining…. waterproof.... vibram outsole. don't wait!

what part of the AT trail do you usually explore?

[derivative666]

Trigger has been pulled usually out in Wawayanda State Park and The Delaware Water Gap

Danner Crater Rim

[llvlaglne]

Jeff- how are the crater rims coming a long?

[derivative666]

Love them have about 35 miles on them so far break in was easy. Comfort, traction and support are all top notch. Can't believe I'm gonna say this but, they are even better then my Asolo's

A vintage pair that I bought inexpensively online and then cleaned up. Lace-to-toe, copper eyelets, vibram dual core soles, made in Portland, OR. Added orange 3mm reflective climbing cord for laces. (I went to EMS for new laces, and despite having a wall of boots for sale, they had no boot laces in stock. None. So I bought ten feet of cord instead for half the cost of regular laces.)

Very nice

Hi all,  has anyone had any experience with the Danner Mountain trails or any Danner hikers in terms of waterproofing? I am keen on a pair, maybe the tanne left bank version for hiking and a bit of trudging through deep snow a couple of times a year as well. Do like the Vibergs of course but at half the price the danners look pretty good, any thoughts you could help with please?

Cheers. J.

If you want a genuine hiking boot and are in the UK, I would visit a specialist shop and pick up a pair of Brasher or equivalent. Function over form in this case.

Cheers for the advice SM but aesthetics have to come into play too as I'd like to wear them throughout winter in general as well, it's a big ask! Cheers.

Get a pair of Crater Rims

I know it's been a while man but I picked up a pair of the Mountain Light Overtons recently and they're awesome. Definitely the best non-mocasin boots I've ever worn. Break in and overall comfort beats my Redwing 877s and work chukkas by a long shot. Durability beats the hell out of the crap Alden calls "boots." Can't recommend them enough. Amazon has some of the smaller sizes on sale plus a 20% off footwear coupon floating around. Came out around $185 shipped.

Couldn't agree more I love Danner they are super comfy and built like a brick shithouse

[Finn666]

so for hiking danner seems to be the perfect boot eh?..
looking for some top shelf hikers…switzerland has some mountains i want to run up to

[derivative666]

Yes, Danner make unreal hikers. I do like Asolo and Lowa also but, Danner is my favorite.
