I purchased the Danner Melee boot after Danner discontinued the style I usually bought. These boots are my new favorite! I walk on cement 12 hours a day, and the boots were comfortable the first day out. No break-in time, chafing, rubbing, or blisters. The boots weigh a lot less than boots I'm used to, and they have an athletic feel to them. The toe box is a little wider than most other boots, which is nice if you use insoles or arch supports. The leather shines up well, too.
