I have heard great things about Danner for years. So, needing a new pair of boots, I picked up a pair of these. These boots are well made, look great, the soles are heavy and hard.. See: pool builders tauranga

Strength:

I heart these boots. I've walked hundreds and hundreds of miles in these boots, in mountain ranges on 4 continents, on day hikes and week-long hiking trips. I've never had a single blister - not even the day I wore them for 26 miles after a month of not wearing shoes at all. See: https://www.evansvilleconcretepros.com/

Strength:

I bought the GTX leather for dayhiking in rough terrian. I bought them a couple months early to break them in. No need. They felt like tennis shoes out of the box, yet provided support and protection. See: https://pressure-washing-of-tampa.business.site/

Strength:

They held up well climbing mountains and gave plenty of traction even in some nasty scree and lose dirt. I never felt that I had to worry about my feet in these boots. photo booth Connecticut

Strength:

My feet being blistered and tortured in one of the levels of hell unimaginable to even Dante. With every step I began to accept that no amount of break in would get these boots to fit my feet. Of course when I tried them on and wore them around the store for an hour, and then at home for a few more hours I thought they fit perfectly. https://nycfoundationrepair.com

Strength:

I backpack 4-5 times a year. Once I found these boots a few years ago, I was wondering if the full leather lining was what I wanted. After a few hundred miles, I can say they are great. I am on my second pair, the first pair did separate sole from upper, but that is not surprising as they were heavily used. I bought a pair for my son, he wore them for 100 miles in Philmont and still wears them in college as walk-around shoes, that is how comfortable they are. Everyone in my crew wears these boots, and we will be heading back to NM this summer. I ordered a spare pair when they were on sale, as I know at some point they will be discontinued. - milwaukeeroofingguys.com

Weakness:

They are not waterproof. Trekking in snow or in the rain, your socks will feel moisture. However, as there is no fabric inside, they dry very quickly. They also do not need to be broken in as they are soft inside out of the box.

Construction and Fit. That is what boots are about. The construction of the Scout is excellent. The quality of the materials, the durability and the look are all top notch. Unfortunately this boot did not fit my feet well - a fact I could not admit until I had put over 150 miles of 'break-in' time into them. At times I felt like I had been forced to participate in the Bataan/Lowa Scout Death March. My feet being blistered and tortured in one of the levels of hell unimaginable to even Dante. With every step I began to accept that no amount of break in would get these boots to fit my feet. Of course when I tried them on and wore them around the store for an hour, and then at home for a few more hours I thought they fit perfectly. The trail would prove me wrong and that is one of the more frustrating aspects of boot purchases... Asolo's fit me well in the past and I suppose I will go back to them now. As for the Scout, if you can be certain they fit your feet I believe they will give you years of good use - as they have to other reviewers whose feet have proved a better match.

Customer Service

Not used - did not attempt to return because I'd already used them for more than 1 year.

One of the best made boots out there. The leather is superbly crafted and the liner is top quality leather. However, these are not comfortable to me in the long run. I give them a 5 for quality, and a 3 for value. I've never had a blister from these, and I've abused them. However, as the previous writers have mentioned, they can be rough on you. These tend to dig terribly into my ankle bone, and for that they're getting replaced.

Customer Service

Don't know.
