I did not purchase these boots on amazon, but I know amazon is a common place to look for reviews, so here I am. I have had these boots since July 2017, so almost a year at the time of writing this review. They are my daily driver boots, I wear them every single day, except for the occasional trip to the range that I wear my old, ripped boots. Overall, I really like these boots. They have a ton of life left in them after almost a year (the tread hardly looks like they've been worn). I have one big thing that has stopped me from truly loving them.

IT PINCHES MY LEFT ANKLE. If I were to lace both boots the exact same, my left ankle gets pinched. Only the left. I want to say it's a design flaw of the boot, but my right ankle doesn't get pinched, so I have no idea. This is not a huge deal, as I can just lace the left a little looser in that area to compensate. However, I feel like they should not be pinching in the first place, since I know I am not the first person who has experienced this.

Other than the pinching, they are extremely comfortable. I am on my feet a decent amount and the pain is minimal (I do have flat feet, so I still get some pain, but significantly less than with my Oakleys. This could also be fixed by custom inserts). Sizing, I'm not too sure about.

My old boots, Oakleys, were a size 5, and in these, I am a 5.5. Do the Oakleys run big? Do the Danners run small? No idea, to be honest. I cannot help in that department since those are the only two pairs of boots I have owned. These Danners are very comfortable and are great for the price. I sprayed mine with some waterproofing when I first got them and I just laugh when people complain about wet toes when they walk through the grass. I have not completed a ruck with these, but I am confident that they would be perfectly fine and provide enough ankle support.
