Danner Mojave desert boot

[half k cruiser]

I have the bates version of the Danner your looking at. They are a comfortable and lightweight boot. In fact I'm glad you reminded me about them, I will have to go get them from storage and start wearing them now that its warmer out.

Got the original version of these back in the 70s... Danner - Danner Light
Lots of desert miles in them since then.

I think the mud at last year's Overland Expo, and my feet expanding with age, has pretty much retired them. Danner seems to be one of the few companies that haven't lost their focus quality over the years.

On a side note, I am between a 10.5 and size 11. I went with a 10.5 and could not be happier. I prefer to wear Smart Wool light hiker socks with these boots.

You can't go wrong with danner quality but if you're looking to save a few bucks look around for surplus or blemished boots from the recent military overproduction.
I bought a pair of RAT boots made by wellco (military manufacturer) from www.sportsmansguide.com for like $55 and they are excellent. They also have Danner boots in the surplus section, many in the $100-$150 range.
If you have time to wait, Danner regularly puts up hunting/combat boots discounts on www.hitthebreakroom.com
I think you have to sign up for that website to see it though.

Not trying to talk you out of it, just offering options.

Breakroom has been closed down.

Just got my first pair of Danners, on back order. Bull Run with moc toe. Reasonable price, on sale for 140.00. They should make a great pair of daily shoes, once broke in or course. And resoleable

White's 10 inch Smoke Jumpers. Vibram soles. When they eventually wear thin, send them back to the factory for a re build.
