tough hunting, hiking boot. I PUT ANOTHER COAT OF BERRY DANNER DRESSING ON THEM TODAY. KEEPS THEM SOFT AND GOOD LOOKING. I HAVE HAD THESE BOOTS FOR 5 YEARS.. WORE THEM EVERY DAY FOR THE FIRST TWO, BUT NOW, I JUST WEAR THEM AROUND TOWN WHEN RAINING, LIGHT HUNTING. NEVER HAVE LEAKED, BEST PAIR OF BOOTS I'VE OWNED. MUCH BETTER THAN ANY OF THE 4 DANNERS. SO IMPRESSED I BOUGHT A PAIR OF VASQUE KITAMATS FOR ELK HUNTING, HIGH TOP 10IN GOOD FOR DEEPER SNOW. NICE COMFORT BOOTS, BUT NOT AS LONG LASTING. I NEED TO GET ANOTHER PAIR OF SUNDOWNERS AS THESE ARE JUST ABOUT WORE OUT.. ONLY LASTED FOREVER. NOTE BREAK IN TOUGH LEATHER AROUND BACK OF ANKLE. NEED SADLE SOAP OR BASEBALL GLOVE OIL TO SOFTEN, KILLS YOU UNTIL THEY BREAK IN.
