Okay, now that having been said.
I love these boots. I've worn my fair share of boots; I grew up on a farm, I worked in a warehouse, and have blazed many'a trail. These boots are the best I've had to-date (and very possibly the last I will ever need). For starters the boot's got support. The weird support souls have accommodate the boots have worked to provide the best arch support I've ever felt on my feet (and I have ABSURD arches). Further more, the break-in process has left leather that softly hugs my feet to said souls, without being too tights or too loose. Further more, the boots are SOLID. I ride a motorcycle and have accidentally put my feet in some s*** situations. Not only have these boots withstood every blow, but have done so without any grisly scarring. In the short time I've owned these boots I've maybe put about 120 miles on them, as I wear them non-stop. They're my work shoes, my casual shoes, my stroll around town boots, my hike books, my everything really (short of cycling...SPD outlet? Think about it Danners...). They have been outstanding. What's more, they're FINE. I mean FINE. I get compliments on them a lot. They look good, be it in a cafe of bucking hay, they look good. They're an excellent blend of bad-@$$ and beautiful. They'll compliment that NorthFace jacket you've instagramed on every hiking trip capitally AND they'll finalize that lumber-jack look you've been trying to dial in for so long.
These boots are the...stuff...they're really awesome. Honestly, best purchase I've made all year.
Oh, and for those of you who question the obscure fit or have troubles with breaking them in here's how to fix your future problems:
DO NOT BUY BOOTS ONLINE.
Unless you know you're feet.
Buying the right boot size is an art, and not something you should pretend you know when dropping a near $300 online. Go into a store, talk to someone who knows, measure your feet, read sizing reviews, then make an educated purchase, or yes, the boots will hurt. Danner offers an array of resources to combat this issue, including width variations, meaning that they're an accommodating range of sizes, but also that dialing in YOUR boot will be more difficult and very specific. There's no scale here; no such thing as "close enough", there is only one size for your feet, know it.
I've yet to hike with them, but they've proven worthy of trekking across hilly terrain on campus. Now that spring is on its way in Pennsylvania (and it's no longer <10°F) I will be starting to hike more on some local trails. I'll update my review in a few weeks once spring fishing season starts up again!
For now, though, these boots are incredible comfortable, the craftmanship is unparalleled, and I look forward to owning these boots for many years to come. They look great, too.
