[QUOTE="DMD, post: 5410194, member: 2937"] Yea, I know they have to make good boots. Too many people I trust like them. I mostly wear lightweight, uninsulated hiking boots when I'm deer hunting. I like to keep my feet from sweating before getting in the stand and then cover my boots with boot blankets when needed. Anyway, I bought a pair of Danner hiking boots. I can't remember the model now. I paid somewhere between $150-200 on Amazon. They were waterproof. Or at least they were supposed to be. First off, my socks would get wet just walking through wet leaves. One morning my feet were freezing, I hadn't walked very far to the stand, it hadn't rained. I took my boots off, and my socks were very wet. But, the worse thing about them - they were like walking on ice. I have never fallen in the woods for no reason, and rarely ever fallen in the woods. I cannot count the number of times I would be walking down a flat, level logging road and just BAM! On my backside. This happened time and time again. I sent them back to Danner - they sent me another pair - same issues. By time all that got figured out, the warranty was up on the new pair. Danner wouldn't do anything to help at that point. I sold them at a yard sale - almost brand new - for $1.00. I felt guilty taking that, as they weren't worth a $1.00. I got a pair of Red Wing boots and a pair of Keen Hiking boots - no more wet feet and I've never fell in the woods since. And that's probably been 10 years ago. Like I said, I know I just an isolated bad experience. They have to be good boots. Too many experienced hunters swear by them. [/QUOTE]
