I have always purchased Danners, they have worked well for me.   I would love a pair of Schnees, but just dont have the $ at the moment.

Now for anyone buying Danners, be informed you might find a good deal on a pair. But be forewarned if it doesnt have the US flag stitched into the uppers you are getting a pair made in China !
Recently Danner has taken there low end boots overseas.  Yes this pisses me off because even their low end boots used to be good... now are crap.  The soles on them are no longer stiched, but glued !  POS.

Yes, but have you earned them? :puke: That was wrong, please lord forgive me.....
I had one pair of Danners several years ago and blew them out in less than 6 months. I've run in Red Wings and they held their own, but the best I had were John Deere's I got at the Deere dealer years ago.

That ain't right.... :chuckle:


I have a set of Danners and they are very comfortable, however, they leak already and I just bought them before this season. I'm not sure if they were US or China made. I will have to check.

Danner Canadians, I have a pair 6 yrs old and still are my "go to boots". Also bought a pair of Cordora Danner's at SW for early fall hunting. Don't care for them that much 2yrs old and not waterproof anymore.

I've got a pair of Danner Frontiers that I purchased at Cabela's on Sept. 19, '08. They are already coming apart at the seam where the body of the boot is attached to the sole. These will be going back to Cabela's, I will be requesting a gift card for the purchase price of $190, I'll sell that card to someone for $175, and I'm going to buy a pair of Lowa Sheep Hunters or Kenetreks.

Who sells Kenetreks on west side or eastside? I hear great things about that brand and would like to try them.

Schnee's has $80 off the Lowa Sheep Hunters right now.  Just FYI!

Couesbiten, were they made here in the US ?  Send them to Portland and they will replace them free.

I don't want them replaced, I want a pair of boots that won't come apart after 3 months use. That's like my Burris scope that has been fixed twice. It's great that they'll fix it for free, but what I'd really like is a quality product that doesn't need to be fixed.

I bought a pair of Danner "Elk Hunters" from Cabelas and they are the most uncomfortable boot I have ever had. I have a wide foot to begin with so I ordered 4E width and they still fit like a womans dress shoe. They feel like they are on the wrong feet most of the time. *censored* if I hadn't paid $250 for them I'd have given them away already. I'll take them back to cabelas and try on something different....now where did I put my good socks at...?
