They are as good as any in that range. I had a pair last about 18 months when I was walking more than a few miles a day at the prison.

Had a pair of Danners while I was enlisted. Good boot for the price and I am hell on footwear. They held up for a few years before i tossed them. Very comfortable for me. Got me thinking that I would like another pair now. Also heard good things about the Bellvilles from soldiers, but never tried them myself.

I'm on about my fifth pair of these. I wear 'em almost daily, and have stuck with the same brand and style for about the past 10 years.

Danners makes great hard use work boots and winter boots. Never wore anything they made for hot summer use.

My limited use with summer boots in the Military and Police work was Oakley, Rockey, Under Armour, Merrill, Timberline.

Not impressed by Oakley or Under Armour.

Rockey and Merrill had some great stuff (Sv2/MOAB). Timberline Pro stuff was good not great.

At least in hunting boots they are on par with all the other Chinese made boots.

My experience with under armor boots have not been negative but middle of the road.

If I’m on a budget I won’t feel bad. My under armor boots are beat to hell but holding up. Stitching is holding up.

Im curious to see how long they go. If they make it a year im cool with that. They see on average 60 hours a week of hard use inside and outside an armored truck. The toe sees a lot of use.

We beat the hell out of our gear. That’s why I use a third gen Glock. Doesn’t hurt my feelings dinging it up. They gave me a new vest and I’m in it as long as my boots. Everything we touch gets beat up fast. So I’m not too fast to dismiss under armor boots yet.

I had a second set of Merrill’s. That set was trash for some reason.

I wore a pair of Danner Tanicus Coyote Boots during drill this weekend. They're light, comfortable and fit well...

I also have a pair of Nike SFB Field 2 8in Leather Boots and Belleville C320 Ultra Light Assault Boots I also wear...

I have a pair of Danner safety toe boots that I really like. They're more than $100. I think they were about $160 five years ago.

My best boots are Belleville. They were issued to me in Iraq. I resoled them last year, and probably be buried in them.

Ok thanks but that's not what I need or want. Don't need steel toe and want more of a combat type boot.

Look for boots that are Berry Compliant.

Won’t be Danner. Have two pairs of American made Danner boots. They were $300 a pair. One pair I wore when I was a ranger in the BCP working for the City for over 5 years. Abused the hell out of them and sent them back to Danner to be rebuilt.( I think it was $100 for the rebuild) while I was waiting for them to come back I bought another pair.

Amazing boots. Buy once/cry once. You will not be disappointed.

Camofire has a few pairs of Danner up today. Pronghorns for $70 seems a deal.

Check LA Police Gear too.

Yeah it requires a wash from time to time and hunter spray.

Go on ebay and search usmc hot weather boots. I get pairs of boots off of there for $50-70. They are usually $300ish and last for years
