For you military/police/corrections/outdoor guys, Danners are the way to go. Just bought my second pair, first pair lasted for 11 years. Even after 11 years of wear, I could have sent them to Danner for recrafting. Made in the USA (Partland, Oregon), waterproof (gore-tex), Vibram outsoles, quality leather. Found my pair on ebay: $245 boot for $128. | ||

Not all Danners are made in the US. I had a pair of side zip striker tactical-type boots that were made in China. They were super comfortable, but the soles split across the ball of my feet after about 2 years. They still do make quality USA made boots though. | ||

I had a pair of Danners last year as a Sapper Instructor and man they were comfy! Only problem is that the sole didn't last more than 6 months... Granted the number of miles on those boots were up there in a 6 month period but still, the soles really got to me. | ||

I believe only the stitch down boots(ie the hi-end line) are made in the USA now. | ||

Rule of thumb with Danner's if the sole is molded on made in China if sole is Sewn on may be made in the USA | ||

My Quarry 2.0, sewn on sole, made in China. Until recently I was under the impression all Danners were made in USA. Local store set me straight. Tough finding one affordable brand made in USA across the board. | ||

If you mean Wallyworld prices for affordable it won't happen. Spend a couple of hundred on good American boots resole them a couple of times 10 years of use easy. | ||

Never tried Danner but I am a fan of Rockys and Georgia boots. Both pairs of my Rockys are very comfortable and my Georgia boots are built like a tank. I have had them for 3 years( I am HARD on boots) or so and I still wear them everyday the temp is above 50. I will keep Danners in mind when I look for new summer boots. I have been thinking about a summer military boot for my next pair. | ||

my dad bought some of the "military issued spec" danners (250$$) and they lasted MAYBE 6 months of walking in the desert, rivers, and mountains EVERYDAY for about 5 miles....on the other hand the 30$ walmart survivor boots last him about 2 YEARS in the EXACT same conditions...i guess he just got a bad pair or somethin, but ill never buy a pair after seeing how they feel apart on him...but to each their own  Jake |
