Stay away from Danner Boots! They are poorly constructed, and they are horrible at backing up their product! My husband bought a pair and he used them like work boots should be used - he wore them six days a week for 12 hours a day. He worked outside nearly all the time in tough weather, but if your boot can't hold up to that kind of use, DON'T CHARGE PREMIUM PRICE FOR THEM!!! We paid almost $200 for a pair of these boots, then 3 months later, when the seams all started coming apart and the sides started blowing out on the sides, just behind the toe area, (ALL 4 sides, mind you, two blow out spots on each boot!) we called Danner, and they said, "Yes, these boots do have a 1 year warranty, but how do we know you didn't intentionally do that damage yourself? You can pay to send them into us and we will look them over, but there is no guarantee that we will replace them, and you are responsible for paying shipping both ways." We never bothered. Thankfully, the store that we bought them from seen them and knew that the workmanship was obviously faulty, and they exchanged them for us, but I will NEVER deal with Danner again. I was never treated that poorly before or since by a customer service department, and it is totally unethical to treat your customers like that anyway, expecially over a product that should last for years and that you have placed your word and warranty on. Well, their word and reputation is worthless to me now. My husband now uses Justin workboots, and he is extremely satisfied with their durability.
