Lightweight and rugged. Danner is the best on the market for long lasting functionality.I ordered size 9 after reviews. I wear 8 1/2 Redwing. Break in was needed, took couple days. Seem to keep feet dry of sweat and traction isn't bad. Haven't wore them below 30 degrees yet or thick snow but it's coming. Always heard other hunters rave about Danner bootsThe boots looked great and I have worn Danner Prong horn for years, but they were out of stock so I decided to try these, but they appear to ru a little narrow. I normally do with the D width but these ran smaller. Returned for the wide.Really like these insulated waterproof boots. When you lace them up, they feel very secure unlike the pair of Solomon boots I previously wore where no matter how hard you pulled on the laces, they always felt loose, like they were coming untied. The Danner boots are much better and about $75 cheaper.I had to use a insole I used the green super feet one and so far everything is good, I have about 10 miles of cross country walking in all types of terrain so far so good, I wouldn't use then for high country rocky terrain but 99% of my hunting they work greatI am from Florida and bought these for a hunting trip to Montana. Kept my feet very warm walking in the snow, and held up great. We put in over 36 miles on foot up different trail heads and mountains. Held up great feet stayed dry other than sweat.This seems like a great quality boot. I was tired of the cheap big box store boots blowing apart on me after 3 years . From my recollection, one of huntings greats-Dan Fitzgerald used to wear Danner boots and I thought that I would give them a go.Kept my feet warm and dry in a snow storm. Couldn’t ask for anything more!Fit is too narrow , I have never ordered a wide however this boot is too narrow, going back unfortunately
