I had a pair of Danners when I was deployed to Bosnia in the winter of 97 through Spring of 98, and I've always thought they were the best pair of shoes I've ever owned.  While I was there I walked more than I ever have in my life and there was always deep mud, snow, rain or a combination of the three wherever I went.  The gortex liner kept my feet warm and dry through it all.  And the boots fit like a glove.  Unfortunately I dried out my boots every day by putting them next to the diesel heater in our tent, and that dried out and cracked the leather after around 4 months of wear.  Nevertheless, I still consider those the best shoes I've ever owned.

I got my new pair and I'm just thrilled with them.  They fit perfectly, and they're just as comfortable as I remembered.  It will take a while to break in, but even brand new they're awesome.  I love the fact that they're lightweight and the sole has some bend so they're easy on the feet.  There's also some decent cushion in the insole. Great great boots.  I've balked at buying a new pair of these for years because of the price, but I figured I was going to buy a new pair of boots for $120 so why not splurge and get these awesome boots instead.
