"Head out from the trailhead with the waterproof Danner Men's Mountain Light 2 Hiking Boot as your companion. From a quick day hikes to mellow backpacking trips, this leather hiking boot gives you tough durability and a comfortable fit. The Mountain Light 2 Hiking Boot's waterproof Gore-Tex liner keeps your feet dry and comfortable all hike long. Danner made the Mountain Light 2 Hiking Boot with a recraftable stitch down construction, which makes re-soling a piece of cake. The tough Vibram Kletterlift provides great traction on anything from muddy tracks to sketchy scree fields."

"I like these boots very much because they feel good and fit my feet better than other boots do. I just received my third pair. I will always have a pair of these boots in my closet. They are very high quality boots. Very tough. They are just right for me, but I could see how you would want more ankle support or a stiffer sole."

"Just a dam good boot.
Bought my 1st pair in the early 90s. I’ve had them resoled 4 times and am in the process of a 5th resole. But finally needed to retire my Mountain Lite 2s for around the house. I used a thin coat of Danner’s “Clear Boot Dressing” several times a year and believe the helped the longevity of the boot’s upper."

"I've had these boots for about a year and I have hiked a few hundred miles in them and I feel I can finally put in a review. First the good stuff. They have very heavy duty hardwear. They look very cool and elicit compliments all the time. They will last a long time."

"When I first bought these boots I had no idea what I was buying, I simply thought they looked tough. After years of hiking and working in the worst conditions I am glad I ended up with these as I am sure no other boot would have lasted this long.
They did take a significant time to break in, but once I found the right socks, they rocked."

"It's been seven months since I bought these boots, and I'm now confident I can put in my final word on them.
I've done a weekend backpack in these things, worn them with snowshoes, hiked some rocky, steep trails and even bushwhacked a bit in them."

"I read a scathingly bad review of these boots on another site, which made me hesitate to buy them. But I'm glad I went ahead and got them anyway.
I have wide feet with pronounced bony areas at my fifth metatarsal joints (outsides of the balls of my feet), so most boots just don't fit me right, even some EE-width boots."

"I have owned two (2) pairs of Danner Mountain Light II hiking boots in the past 15 years. They have taken me through the most extreme climatic conditions on four (4) continents. I am impressed by how well they have served me in my travels through burning deserts, soggy and muddy rain forests, snowy and icy mountain treks (including several up to 18,000 feet in the Nepali Himalayas), etc."

"Because I live in Portland, I get my boots from the person who made them. This is not a crappy boot made in Indonesia; it is the real deal. I have two pairs, and got the first pair for only $35! I have been wearing them for 6 years and finally had them resoled for another $35."

"I agree with the other reviewer. The Danner Mountain Lights are like a cadillac for the feet. They form to your feet and are oh so comfortable. . The Vibram Ketterling sole holds up well and the Goretex booty makes them all but impervious to water."

"These boots are the best boots I have purchased. If you have considered buying a pair or these boots, stop considering and go out and buy a pair. You will not regret it. They are some of the most comfortable boots right out of the box that I have ever worn."

"First thing I did was buy Superfeet insoles for these boots. These are the most comfortable, dry, not too hot, plenty tough, great quality, on and on and on. . . boots I've yet had. And I've had Salomons, Vasques, La Sportivas, Montrails and others."
