Just received these boots and did a short walk in them last night.  It started to rain and I did a little running.  Boots are very light and I think are just as comfortable as my running shoes.  I need to drop some weight and plan to start doing some long walks (5 plus miles) with these boots.  It has been 40 years since I wore Jungle boots but these seem much better made.  My only complaint is that they were made in China.  I didn't see that until I clicked the order button.  However, I am going to go back and order another pair of Danner boots and get a pair made in the U.S.

I plan to use these boots for walking, maybe short runs, going to the range, hunting, and wearing to work (I am a tenured faculty member and I can wear what I want - which will be jeans, boots, and a sports coat most of the time). Ankle support seems to be very good.  I don't want to take them off.

I think Danner should make these boots in the U.S.  I would gladly pay the difference in cost. I also would prefer the boot in green.  I don't want to look like I am a phony faking that I have returned from the sandbox.  My generation had its own war and I don't live near a desert.

Size:  I wear a 9.5 D but order a 10.  A 9.5 would be long enough but I plan to add a high quality insert (plus my feet swell when I do really long walks in the mountains).

Two years later: I have had these for a while now.  I don't wear them that much.  I am doing spinning and rowing for exercise, but I have to say these are the lightest and most comfortable boots I have ever owned.  I ordered a pair of Danner Patrol boots which were about twice the price of these boots.  The Patrol Boots are a 6 inch boot made in the U.S. The fit and finish of the Patrol boots and the leather are excellent but they are not as comfortable and much heavier.  If I were in a fight and had to kick someone in the arch, the Patrol boots would be my choice but these made in China boots are excellent.
