@@jimmyvaughteven tho the lasportivas have gotten really ugly over the years they were always considered one the the better mountaineering boots.

You absolutely NAILED it on your perfect "Mountain Boot!" I've had my Mountain Passes since they first came out around 2016. I've climbed to most of the alpine lakes in the Sawtooths, and used them as my dedicated hiker every time I was carrying some weight for about 7 years. The lower rise from the Mountain Lights works really well for my foot. I got them resoled through Danner a couple years ago (great experience), and it was like getting a new pair of boots! If they made a model using more leather components, I would pull the trigger without hesitation.

That first clip of the “bear slayer” the stitching looked like balls around the welt area.

Looked like shit

I own a pair of the Danner R.A.T. boot. Put thousands of miles on them, and the soles and leather are still good. My every day when wearing jeans is the danner jag. For my feet anatomy, I've never gotten a blister from these guys. My rat boots I averaged 11 miles a day, 7 days a week, for 7 months.

There is a very good reason that I found an old pair of Vasques from the 70s when I got tired of replacing my modern hiking boots every 6 months.

Thank you for your work and breakdown of it all!

Heck yeah I'd like to see that boot - please Danner!

I purchased my first Danner hiking boot in 1979 at the original REI in Seattle. I can remember that it took forever to break them in.

I was wondering where i had seen the "relief cut" + speed hook in the middle before the bear slayers. Swiss M90 combat boots, i have a pair and they have the same system and i gotta tell you, it works! 😄👍

You're just so good at these videos..gaahhhh...cheers from Bulgaria.

Love your videos, please do an episode on the Lowa Tibet GTX if you get the chance. I use them for hiking/hunting and would like to know what they're made of!

Please more mountain boots!

Yeah I'm down for that ultimate mountain boot. I've been eyeing the Danner Mountain series for a while but that would be a buy on sight for me

I’ve had a few pairs of Danner’s, they’re good boots, I like the dark brown and dark green canvas Light 2’s. Honestly though the best hiking boots I’ve ever had are the Asolo TPS 535’s, they’re cambrelle lined and they last awhile! They have a goretex version also, the 520 TPS, both great boots.

I would like to mention a french boot that clossely ressemble this style of boot (wildely predates it, the company I want to talk about originated in 1925, but the style is a traditionnal one so even older). The brand name is Le Soulor, all of their boots are handmaid and they actually don't have any stock, every boot is made for a client. They cost 350€ for their harder, more work oriented boot, and 475€ for their more casual hiker boot. (To me it's strange that the more casual one is pricier than the other. They don't explain why, the casual one has a vibram outsole and is more customizable so maybe that's why it costs more but I don't know). From what I've heard (I don't own a pair) they are very good boots, but unfortunatly, we don't have much of boot community here on youtube in France (or at least, not a work boot oriented one), so I would very much love for you to cut one up to exactly see what's the deal about them.

Danner's quality in workboots has deteriotated over the past ten years to unbuyable. It's how I found this channel. I needed a new option and now I wear Redwings. Danner lost me a couple years ago.

same! i feel like i got burned by the mountain light 600 or whatever with the eva foam midsole… was told it was resolable at sale and then couldnt resole them. i started watching your channel around the time of all the combat boots and got my partner the solovair derby boots with some zip lace guards and got myself the solovair urban hikers. the liner is all leather and so far im really happy, even though the sole and rubber welt may not be my ideal combo. far cheaper than the resolable danners too lol

Same here. See my other comment

Danner Crater Rim boots FTW

I had Danner Acadia in my army days 30 yrs ago…they were decent but even with high expectation…they still let in water from dewy grass…

I have a pair of Danner Kinetic that were made in Vietnam, not the United States, and they are the best boots that I have ever had.

I’d love to see a review of HanWag boots. I have two pair of their Sirius II GTX. Love their “story” but would enjoy your take on their boot quality. Appreciate all the work you put into these videos! Found your channel through Birkenstock reviews and you saved me a lot of time and money!

Please do a video comparing the Danner Mountain light and the Vasque Sundowner!!! I really want to see an in depth review on the Sundowner!

There's one more curve ball that is almost impossible to find on Danner's site, but they confirmed it to me when I asked: the dark brown ("smores") color of the Mountain Pass has the same sole as the Mountain Light 1 -- fiberglass shank, thinner slip sole, and the the 8mm kletterlift outsole. You basically get the comfort of the 503 last and the great looking collar with the beefiness of the Mountain Light 1. It doesn't have a leather lining (or Horween), but it's about halfway toward the ultimate boot you describe.

I enjoy your breakdown videos a lot. Even on boots I think are so fugly I’d never be able to put on my feet.

They better hope Jim Green never decide to make a lace-to-toe boot.

@RoseAnvil What's your favorite boot for motorcycling?

I have Eddie Bauer K6 mountain boots and they seem sooooo similar.

For now, Im going to purchase the Mountain Pass but yeah if they made the boot you dream of I would purchase that as well.

Nice! Now its time for UK shoe maker boot review - UK in July countryside?

​@@jonnieinbangkokafter seeing other videos of the hikers offered by "good brands," why laugh? K-6 is the old 60s design, one-piece full grain leather upper, Goodyear welt, and what looks like a heavy vibram sole.

Will those JK boots be avaiable right away? Or are they going to be produced after the drop? Thanks!

Id love to know what you think of the new GH Bass 1876 Alpine Hiker. Those boots look 🔥

is there any boots that good for walking in the desert ? or hot weather country ?

You should review the Viberg Hiker - Gobi Regency Calf.

Well how about finding some of their old models and cut them to find out how they changed over the years? I also liked your WW2 boots series and it would be great to continue, especially since old military boots even brand new ones from many countries are easy to find and not very expensive while being more durable than pretty much any new shoes in the same price range

Danner we want the rose anvil boots

have you ever tried a pair of mammut boots out ?

Dude try FRACAP boots. Made in Italy leather footbeds vibram gum lite soles leather midsole and GYW or stitchdown depending on model. Everything good Danner don’t do and what you’re looking for. Cheers!

Nothing about these boots makes me want a pair. They seem really overpriced too.

Hoping for a Lowa Renegade review

Can u do the asolo fugitive GTX boot, please

Danner boots are comfortable.I would love to have a upgraded boot.

Regarding leather quality, according to the video you're showing the Mountain Light 2 leather is NOT as thick as the first two boots. It is 2.045 mm which is around the same as the Mountain Pass boot whereas the first boots two are over 2.5mm..

Weston wants a DANNER RAZORLITE BACKTRAIL, the perfect companion to the Archwood Flextrek 37 Trillion WHIPSNAKE Edition

I would like to see what Danner's interpretation on zero drop/barefoot models would be. We might get what Vibram can't seem to give us (I'm a FiveFingers/Furoshiki user).

I love the naming system. The "lights" are the most rigid, tough and uncomfortable and the "Pass" which kind of implies hardcore mountain hiking and thus should be the most rigid is actually "ligher" than the "lights". When in some utopian world you get to do a collab with Danner,. please make it leather lined (no Goretex), a bit wider in the toes and have easier resolability with a leather lasting board. I have the Pass model and I'm currently in the painful process of resoling them brand new because the hard lasting board (or whatever that thing is) between the cushy midsole and the upper just really doesn't work for me - it makes the boots way too stiff to use casually in the city (not on a mountain pass). I'm willing to sacrifice some durability for more lightness and flex.

My main thought about these Banners is - " $400+ boots with fabric lining and no leather insoles? Forty five years ago I lusted over Danner's and thought they were the cat's pajamas. Now, I think, save your money and buy Jim Green's. They're better built and the quality's better. Danner just seems cheap to me and they look cheap. Give Gareth some love and buy JG.

I loved my mountain pass boots until I took them to get resoled at the danner factory store and they told me they couldn’t resole them because the synthetic shank or slip sole was cracked 10:35. Imagine my disappointment as they were my first “premium” boot purchase and I specifically bought them because they were advertised as “recraftable”. In my post heartbreak research I found your channel and learned of better boots, but never again danner 😑

I would buy your suggested boot! I would live support Danner being from Portland, OR. I've been disappointed with their recent quality however

They look brutal on your feet along with almost all boots.

These boots are all pretty poor quality. You said yourself that the near perfect boot would have been the Mountain Trail had it not been for the foam insole. The solution is the Fracap M120 which is fully leather lined, leather insole and with a variety of outsole options. Also the width is not narrow like the Danner. For hiking boots/shoes, the times where I have experienced failures are with cloth linings that wear out and with cemented soles that have peeled off. The Danner doesn't have the sole peel problem, but they have cloth interiors / foam insoles which make them disposable shoes IMO. If they're disposable, then just buy a regular cemented hiking shoe, which will last quite a long time. What's the point of buying a stitchdown construction boot that you can resole when the cloth interior is worn out?

Danner, did you hear the request? Additionally, please remember to prepare 20K+ for this endorsement.

How many times did he call the Lights "Trail?"

Do the Vasque sundowner and sunsetter there’s no good videos on them

I would save my $ and buy a couple of pairs of JIM GREEN BOOTS.

Should review Salomon boots I own a pair and I've had zero issues with them and they are very comfortable and good hiking

Yesss. I'd buy the Danner boot in a heartbeat. Please make it happen

Loves me my Danner Mountain Light. A Danner x Rose Anvil collabo would be epic.

I use my mountain passes as both hiking boot and work boot. A couple criticisms to note: -That plastic slip sole is HARD, and its what your foot mostly presses on. The insole that comes with the boot is exceptionally thin and cheap, and the toe box is so tiny it's not possible to use a replacement insole that is much thicker and more comfortable. I bought my boots several years ago so not sure what all has changed, but mine came with both the thick plastic slipsole and thin fiberglass board on top of it. Plus under the balls of your feet, the soft foam midsole is pretty thin. This all means I cant hike more than 10 miles without my feet aching from the pressure points. -As Wes mentioned, theyre narrow. I purchased the EE width and it still wasnt enough. To widen the front a little, I skip the first row of lace loops at the bottom. Otherwise, I love them. Theyve been exceptionally durable. I ordered with GoreTex, and their water resistance is solid. My leather is dark brown and they look great after cleaning and conditioning. Couple other things: -I wish you included weight in the comparison. The Trails are significantly heavier than the Pass. At least by 20+ ounces per pair. -Im digging the Knocked Loose rep! Saw them last tour, great show.

Danner does many wild collabs with many brands, e.g. Engineered Garments X Danner. So, you should just do a collab with them: Rose Anvil X Danner

last pair i got was in 1984, i used to love Danner hiking boots, but like with everything else, sh!t becomes Chinese'd.

All are over priced.

Why do you insist on stating that having a raw leather inside is somehow better than a fabric lining? Leather makes your feet sweat and stink way faster, it often hurts your feet too, so what's the benefit?
