I've worn these boots for 3 years on construction sites and really work in them. Had them resoled 3 times. No issue with the counter cover. Very comfortable and durable after initial break in of the leather which took about 2 weeks. These soles are soft and do wear but are great to stand on all day.

They look like decent boots, and stitch downs can be resoled a few times before the leather wears out. Not BS! Really looking forward to the Thursday’s!!!

I've had these exact boots for over 4 years as an auto mechanic and they have been very comfortable. The fabric counter liner definitely wore pretty early on and the counter did slowly break apart eventually. The moc toe stitching also came apart after a couple years.

Hurts me... watching you cut these in half. I absolutely love Danner boots and have always appreciated how they got me through the day.

Really appreciate your reviews and insight on these products. Thank you for the time, work, and dedication on these projects. Please consider a future review on the Danner quarry boots and the Russel Moccasin boots.

I’ve owned many pairs of Danner Quarry boots and I’ve always loved them. I’ve put them through the paces at my work and they’ve always held up well. I’ve been wanting to try a pair of these moc toe boots for awhile and I think I’m going to stick with danner on these too. Thanks for the video

I have them and loved them for bartending. I however moved away from them now that I do commercial plumbing on jobsites. The main issue i had was slippage from the sole on the finished concrete floor I often work on(when wet mostly). I still love them though and never realized why I liked the look so much more than Redwing until you pointed out the topdown/goodyear difference so thanks for that.

Super comfy boot. Just picked them up recently. Great room for a wider foot without having to order a wide.

Thanks for doing the moctober, I’m so happy I got to see the bull run and redwings as I was exploring both to use for carpentry. Wanted an all American solid work boot. Dead on for all the input... just wish the bull run had the cork. I’ve been wearing the bull run and it’s serving me well.

Good luck getting to 300k! Rooting for ya.

I’ve had my Danner Bull Run Moc Toe’s for almost 3 years and I wear them 5 days a week at work and normally at least once on the weekends. They’ve broken in like an old ball glove and have been hands down the best pair of work boots I’ve ever invested in. The first week or so break in period is rough, but after that they soften up like a soft and bright greeting from the sun on a frost covered November morning. Some conditioning and polishing and they shine up just like new! New fan, but absolutely love your videos dude!! Keep up the good work!! 👊🏻👊🏻

Also, working in a thrift store I can say that wearing out the liner at the heel inside the shoe is one of the most common things to kill an otherwise nice shoe/boot. Very common when it's fabric, but I've even seen it in nice leathers.

Good to know. I wonder if they still discount them. My girlfriend gets 20% of anything Danner throught her work.

These videos came at a perfect time. I’ve been trying to decide if I should get these or have the soles replaced on my thorogoods for the last couple months. I decided to give the bull runs a shot. I bought them today right before work and wore them straight out of the box. They’re much better for the work I’m doing since they are lighter and less bulky than my thorogoods. The stitchdown construction was a bit of a pro and con. Con because of the potential lack of longevity but a pro for the flatter foot bed.

love the info about the down-stitch! never knew

I own these Bullruns and absolutely love them. I’ve had them re soled twice already and the shop said they’re in great shape for continued repair. Invest in a good pair of moc toes from a reputable manufacturer and you’ll have solid work boots for years. I re sole them when I’m on vacation.

Decent boots thanks for the review! I was able to make a very informed decision when I bought my thorogoods yesterday. I can't wait to get them since they are back ordered until Jan 21st.

I have a pair of bull runs that I wear every day for a year doing landscaping and handy work at my job, they've held up really well except for the tongue. The laces started chewing through the tongue pretty quick so bought a false tongue from nicks boots and was the best upgrade i could've made to these boots, it added a lot of structure and has prolonged the life of these by a lot

You HAVE to touch on Thorogood moc toe, yeah? “I won’t cover Toaster”......love it :)

I love theses boots! I’ve owned a pair for a couple years and use them as a work and casual boot. Plus Danner offers 30% off site wide a couple times a year which makes these a great value.

Why the heck aren’t more blue collar workers subscribed to you?? Your videos are such life savers!

Loving the new series!!

I bought these as my first pair of Danners 2 years ago. Wore them out and bought the exact same pair again, great boot. I’m a builder and I got a solid 8 months out of them with zero maintenance (not even a cleaning) working win rebar, concrete, steel work, etc. The first thing to fail was the toe box stitching where my foot bends. The sole started wearing smooth under the ball of my feet after 6 months or so, but they still gripped about the same. For never putting any maintenance into them, 8 months impressed me, that’s about the same amount of time I get out of a pair of redwings. I’ve recently bought Danner’s Quarry boots with the same christy sole and they’re even better so far. Danner has a repeat customer in me.

I’ve been wearing these Danner at work for over a year now and had them resoled once with vibram soles. After watching this really informative video I realized I no longer have the shank.

After killing every shoe I bought within 12 months of purchasing, I got a Danner randomly in 2015. I still wear the same pair today. Great quality.

I sold boots at an outdoor store in SF during the 90's. I have a pair of Danner Ft Lewis boots that I've replaced the sole 3 times. They're stitch down construction and still going strong. I have a pair of Italian made Merrell wilderness backpacking boots that I hiked the entire Pacific Crest Trail in and they're stitch down as well. We sold a few Danner hiking models like the Mountain light and Ft Lewis for military types and the Canadian for hunters. Danner always had very informative clinics for store employees back then. They really stressed their leather and stitch down construction. The also had the best "pro-deal" for store employees, 40% below wholesale. I really liked all the technical construction information about outdoor gear and since our store carried a wide selection of boots it was easy to find the right boot for the customers feet and needs. I like all the detail you go into about construction and find your channel very informative.

I've had these boots for about 6 months now, and they are the most comfy out-of-the-box boots I've owned. They really do feel like sneakers. Not sure why they receive a lot of hate.

I've been wearing the Bull Runs for over a year. I've worn all sorts of work boots for the last 60 years including issue military boots during my time in the Army. I also currently have a pair of Iron Rangers and Jim Green Rangers, but the boot I wear 5 days out of 7 are the Bull Runs. Since I've only had them a year I can't speak to their longevity, but the comfort is beyond compare to any other work boot I have owned.

I used my bull run Chelseas for a couple seasons in asphalt and they help up great, not to mention the break in period was extremely short and they are hands down the most comfortable boot I’ve ever worked in.

I’ve been in my Bull Run moc toes for 6 months and love them! Just like you said, this isn’t a framer/masonry/plumbers boot. I’m an electrician and HVAC tech with some general contracted work in the mix and it’s the perfect boot for what I do. I clean and oil the leather every 2 weeks which gets them back to near new condition in 20 minutes. The sole is definitely lighter, spongier than a redwing wedge but does provide a very cozy, anti-fatigue experience. The boot keeps its structure well for being thinner leather and handles 10f-110f temperatures provided you size right for changing your socks for the season. I just ordered the Vintage Lux version for weekends as I’ve been opting for these 7 days a week. I highly recommend this boot!

Loving Moctober!!!

Great summer boots for truck drivers!!! I can personally attest to it. Definitely a light work boot. They are tough though. I am on docks a lot and up & down inside the trailer, kicking stuff and banging into steel, concrete & wood a lot. I have had the same pair for 3 years. I just clean them periodically with saddle soap and condition with Bick 4. They are very comfortable!!

I love my Danner steel toe bull runs! Comfortable af! I wouldn't kick a shovel with them because they're a little soft, but they're great as an indoor work boot.. like in a warehouse or shop or whatever.

I own these and I love them, I do not use them for work as I am retired. Love the color!

My last boots were bull run moc toes. Really comfortable, lasted over a year of working. Only downside to me was they aren’t good if it rained. But that is easily seen with the type of sole, no traction. I would definitely get them again if working inside or on asphalt/concrete. I do too much in dirt.

Enjoy your channel very much. I have gotten almost 3 years out of my Bull Runs. The sole is still holding up. The most easy break in I ever had. I am a truck driver,so they get some abuse in wearing them. I am going to order the Perry's Moc from Whites based on your video. I aslo have a pair That are my weekend boots. I don't think I'll ever ware those ones out.

I started working construction years ago. I bought Whites Boots ie custom made, heavy and long lasting. I needed a lighter boot and went to Danners. I have owned 4 pairs made in Portland and 2 foreign made pairs. Great awesome boots. I bought a new pair of Bull Run 6” because I walk a lot on concrete slabs. They feel like sneakers. I test fit Thorogood boots before selecting the Danner Bull Run. I have narrow feet and the Danners kept my ankle anchored and the well made Thorogoods did not.

I've been wearing a pair of regular toe Bullruns for about 18 months. I really like them because they broke in really easy and are exceptionally comfortable. I'm hard on shoes/boots and they're holding up ok. The soles have worn a little faster than I expected, and now I know to keep an eye on the heel area. I also have a pair of Thorogoods and like them quite a bit better from a durability standpoint - but they were harder to break in and are not as comfortable. I'll be very interested to see how they compare.

I own a pair of Bull Runs, That foam rubber sole is amazing for walking or standing on concrete. Definitely intended to be a lighter boot compared to thier heavier work boots. If I'm working hard I wear a pair of Danner super rain forest, they are awesome. I own one pair of Danners that are no B.S. 20 years old (explorer hiking) that have been refreshed and resoled 3 times by Danner (its nice to live close).

I have really liked my Thorogood moc toes. They have speed laces unlike the Red WIngs, are much cheaper. have a shank, are unlined unlike some other moc toes, good quality leather, and have a removable insole which for work boots I view as a positive (especially with my flat feet). Redwing and others make fantastic boots, but for the price I think the Thorogood's make better beaters

you're right about the fabric in the heel area, it doesn't last as long, I've used mines for about a year (occasionally) and the fabric rub off, but compared with red wing's iron ranger and chippewa's cibola and aldrich they're way more comfortable out of the box, almost sneaker like comfortable

I have a pair of steel toe Bull Runs that I use for work. Most of this work consists of factory tours and light work within manufacturing settings. For this type of light work, they are a phenomenal boot for the price. They are very comfortable and I find myself not needing to rip them off my feet the second I get home. Like most boots in this segment, they're not great for winter. And as you mentioned in the video, for a more heavy duty workload, I would likely suggest a different boot.

Better not see anyone complaining about sponsors again. Great video man, looking forward to that giveaway. You'll get there in no time

A well balanced review, great and easy watch.

I’ve had my pair of black Bull Runs two years now. Broke them in at a few different work sites the first two months running data cable from workspace to networking rooms and terminating both ends at mostly new construction sites. They took a beating. Went back to an old pair of RWs Supersole for the heavy duty work and wear the Danners just casually now for light duty work around the house and workshop. Saving money to get the RW Heritage Moc now.

Bull Runs are the most "deconstructed" Danners, meant to feel like leather socks. The original run, with the Vibram lug sole, before they switched to the moc-toe and the wedge, were stupidly comfortable to hike in because they *breathed* I own a pair of Christie-soled moc-toe Bull Runs and comparing them to the Loggers or even the Mountain Lights is silly. The Loggers are built in straps and layers to provide stability for a person walking on a slope, doing dangerous work. The Bull Run would never do that job.

They’re pretty much as simple as a boot gets and I think that’s their strength. They don’t feel like big heavy clomping around boots, they’re light and comfortable and the soles are almost reminiscent of that gummy Doc Marten feel but sturdier because of the shank and the wide base. They’re not hardcore heavy duty boots, they’re just a nice thing to have on your feet that can support your ankles and get some work done.

I went hiking in my bullruns one time. Slipped on wet leaves on like a 40 degree incline. Still can't kneel down on the leg that took the fall

@@Sube-Tubethat can happen in any boot personally I wouldn’t wear these for hiking do to the soles of these boots ! I would have gone with the iron ranger,

I have multiple pairs of different styles of Danners. I honestly like the boots and was looking at the Bull Run models. I think these would be good enough for me vs Red Wing or Thorogoods. I’m not in the trenches anymore of hardcore labor much anymore “thank god” I have moved up the supervising jobs now. I think I am going to try these and see how they play out. I live in a rural town and it’s hard to have any of these boots to try on, which leaves me to order everything and I know Danners fit me true to size. Thanks for looking out for the working class and giving us the foundation to properly pick what will work for us.

I bought a pair of Nicks after you cut them open and I'm wearing them right now. I can't even consider anything less than Nicks anymore. Thank you for cutting them open and reenforcing the great investment I made 😊

@@RoseAnvil I got the Roberts in brown chromexcel. I've been wearing them all day around the house and haven't had any issues with comfort and they are breaking in nicely. I'm already thinking about my next pair to ride my motorcycle.

I’m a professional land surveyor and I have been wearing the Danner Bull Run Moc Toe for many years. Here is my review. They’re very comfortable with short break in time of 1-2 weeks. I prefer the tobacco color as it is stiffer (less oil) and I have found it to be more durable. I get them re-soled at a local cobbler for $95, 3 times before I buy a new pair. So they last me 3 years +/-. My first pair was the brown and after 2 years the leather separated/tore at the stitching near the lace holes. I have not had that problem with the tobacco. I agree with you on your review, my 2 complaints are; the brown is over oiled IMO and that inner fabric material at the the heel 18:19 breaks down right around the 2.5 year mark, that should be leather. I also use the Danner RAT for surveying on steep slopes. These are the US Marine issue boots. Because I use them rarely they will last a very long time. I average 10k steps a work day in them.

They are quite comfortable and I like the look of them. I've never overworked my pair and they've held up just fine over the past year. I also got them on sale and I feel like I've already got my money's worth out of them. Not BS.

For anyone watching this video on May 8th 2022, Danner has a huge boot sale going on their website, these boots (and others) are 70& off (60 bucks) for the next 18 hours or so.

I bought these boots in black about 14 months ago, I work in a heavily graveled prop and put about 4 miles a day in. These boots are great most comfortable ever, the soles did wear out fast around 10 months but I had them redone and there good as new, would highly recommend
