Danner Boots, Who wears Them?

[4PWW9]

Best Boots for the money.
Anyone else favor Danner?

I don't know much about Danner? I thought they were one of the military contrators for our troops. I will say that when I was in the Marines (80's and 90's) we were issued the basic black combat boot. Those things sucked as far as comfort goes and took a few weeks to break in. We would have the sole redone and use the the insole out of our tennis shoes to get a better fit.
2 years ago I read few things about the new boots the Marines were using. I got on ebay and bought a new pair of BATES with Marine logo for 50 bucks. THE BEST PAIR OF BOOTS I HAVE EVER OWNED. Unbelievable comfort right out of the box, I have worn them almost everyday and 2 years later a little worn but they still rock. I am going to buy another pair soon. If you look hard enough on ebay you can find new with a minor blemish around 50 bucks. Keep in mind that they have different boots for different climates, the ones I have seem to be perfect for Indiana.

i like my danners pretty well they take awhile to break in

also i have a pair or cabelas kangaroo skin boots that are broke in the day you get them my only problem with them is im on my 3rd pair in 2 years im pretty hard on boots but not that hard the sole keeps comming off but the replacement is free so i just plan on sending them back and getting a new pair every 8 months or so

I have worn Danners every winter since '95. Have yet to find a better insulated boot, period!

I bought a pair this year on clearance from a local shop and I really like them a lot. From all I have read they should hold up well too.

Have 3 pair of Danners, black Acadia's, Desert Acadia's and brown Hood's. Got the black ones in 2002, and they are almost ready for a resole. They're like that Bunny, keep going and going.

From their website:

Today and Beyond
Building on the same traditions and standards of quality instilled by the Danner family years ago, the Danner Shoe Mfg. Company continues to manufacture a complete line of Hiking, Fishing, Hunting, Uniform, and Work Boots in their 30,000 square foot factory in Portland, Oregon, U.S.A.
​

Are all their boots still made in USA? I used to buy Red Wings, but any more finding US made Red Wings is just about impossible.

I bought a new pair of Wolverines about a year ago. I really like them, but every time I slip them on I see that big ol' "Made in China" right there on the tongue tag of each boot.

 

[sjstill]

Think they're made both here and China.

 

[4PWW9]

Every pair I have says "Made in USA".

 

[sjstill]

The Strikers I have seen are made in China. IMO, if the price is under 200.00, then they're likely imported.

danner

Great duty boots.

 

[AGarbers]

I have the Danner Raptors.

I just got a pair of Raptors two weeks ago. I have only worn them one day, but they quickly felt comfortable. I know many of their boots can be recrafted. I also have a pair of USA made Red Wings which are almost worn out, but I wear them most of the time through water, mud, snow, brush, logs, rocks, and whatever else blocks my way.

 

[Sureshot129]

Danner is good stuff wearing them now

 

[wtfd661]

I've been wearing Danner Boots on duty for 6 years now, GREAT boots.

 

[KokomoDave]

I have been wearing Danners since '83 both on and off duty.I have had my soles replaced 4 times now since I always buy the lace-to-toe models w/ Goretex but no insulation.I have the Vibram sun-burst treads on my current pair as I always pick up stray rocks with the Kletterlift design.

Bradley's military has them relatively cheap and they are USA models.Military danner boots for army navy industry from military supply store bradley's military

I wear the Danner Striker 45 II GTX Uniform Boots every shift I work for the Tippecanoe Emergency Ambulance Service. They are super comfortable and waterproof. Best pair of boots I've ever had in my own opinion...
