Boots are light weight, comfortable, size was  correct.  But developed a really annoying squeak in the left heel after about ten months of regular wear (not worn as a work boot).  Danner support suggested  removing insole, checking shank (was not loose); didn't help.  Replaced sole, which also didn't help.  Return for repair looks like a hassle -- you pay to insure and send boots to repair facility where they are "evaluated;" definitely not a no questions asked warrantty.  Squeak doesn't affect comfort but would interfere with any activity that depends on being quiet on the trail  (like wildlife photography, hunting, etc.)
