Customers are satisfied with the leather of the boot. They mention that it is not bare leather, it is soft, and scuffs easily. However, it's not weak or thin, and is durable for light abuse. The leather did stretch on these boots.

Customers are mixed about the waterproofness of the boot. Some mention that they are excellent, comfortable, durable boots that keep their feet bone dry, while others say that they're not waterproof, water can come into the boot just above the top D-rings, and the boot inserts were soaked. That said, some say the boots are difficult to keep under the water and the waterproof tongue design isn't comfortable to start with.

"...A hole then opened up and quickly reached a size of about half an inch across...." Read more

"...I just wouldn't try and run a marathon in them. I can say my feet have never gotten wet in these boots. Ever with the exception of sweat...." Read more

"...The tongue of the boot is designed such that water can come into the boot just above the top D-rings and below the higher lacing hardware...." Read more

"...They are very well made in America, the waterproofing is great, and let’s face it, they just look cool...." Read more

Danner does it right, Wore these boots 30 straight days in Morocco
Bought these boots before a month long trip to Morocco. As expected they were a little bit stiff out of the box, especially the top edge. After about a week of constant casual wear they were broken in comfortably. I wore these for 30 days straight in Morocco- walking through cobble stone streets, trekking through the Sahara, hiking in the Mid-Atlas and they even got me 13,671 feet to the snowy summit of Mt. Toubkal. No snow made it through, they were plenty warm with double socks, and they did a remarkable job any sand from getting in.They not only held up but they also provided me with great ankle/toe protection and felt incredibly breathable. They also retain very little odor!Dinner includes a special plastic insole that fits into the heel bed. This actually works wonders- air flows under the foot and there is no grinding into the sole. The inside of the toe bed has small raised ridges that at first felt unusual, but after two straight days of hiking without any toe blisters I realized how essential these are. I treated these boots four times with Danner boot dressing (brown) while traveling and they kept them looking fresh and much less stiff. These were put through the ringer so they have scuff marks on the sides and the leather looks worn over the toe cap, yet, they still look great worn casually.I usually wear a 11.5 or 12 in boots, but these tend to be a little of the longer side. I would recommend sticking with the lower end of your size. If you have a wide foot you definitely need the EE.100% sourced and crafted in America (not to mention recraftable), solidifies these boots as top notch.
