These Danner boots are made in America. That is highly unusual these days. The quality of the materials, workmanship, fit, and comfort are all impressive. The size seems true (not too large or small). They have all the right features -Gore Tex, Vibram, classic style, etc. They're also recraftable construction -so they'll give you years of dependable service. They look great with both khakis and jeans...and I like the way they seem to roll forward effortlessly when you walk. The half orthotics included from Danner with the purchase feel great and compliment the fit. The leather looks even better and becomes more supple with Leather Honey, which I suggest applying right out of the box. You get what you pay for...and you support jobs here at home. I recommend.
