    Thinking about investing the $380 to get these 1-piece full grain leather boots that can be resoled many times. Can last 10+years if treated well. Waterproof for hiking. Anybody have any experience with this kind of thing? I was looking to see other brands doing a similar design and it seems like Danner is the only game in town...

    • I'd love those if the sole wasn't quite so much wider than the rest of the boot. Looks a bit odd. I see why they're like that, but..Nairn
    • Oh you fuck. Thanks. I think I've found my next pair of boots.

    • Sole looks a bit shit though. I don't mean aesthetically, I just think it's one of Vibram's poorer ones.Nairn
    • Sole looks deep and likely non-cavitated, and probably replaceable. Damn you, sarahfailin!Nairn
    • Sorry, don't mind me, I'm just flip-flopping and talking myself into a future purchase here. Move along. Move along.Nairn
    • Yup. 'Thanks'. That's fucking £280 going to some Yankee Doodle Dandy in 18+ months. These are my next boot. Unless I see something better.Nairn
    • Sorry, £296 + delivery.

      Fuck you, sarahfailin.

    • I've had a pair for about 7-8 years. They're much lighter than you'd expect. They gave me blisters for the first few months. Rubbed leather conditioner...fooler
    • ...in the heal for a few days and they molded to my foot. The sole is very soft. So soft I melted it by the campfire. I think Ill get them resoled next year.fooler
    • Looks like specialty shoes for people with a club foot...jagara
