These boots are comfortable and look good. Everything listed in the product description is true. No break in period necessary. I tend to suffer from heel pain and plantar fasciitis and these feel good on my feet.

This is my second pair of Danner Vital boots, the first being uninsulated. They wear excellent, no break-in required, are light weight , and ARE waterproof! Only downside for Danner, they last forever, even with continous wear.

I usually wear a size 10 but ordered a size larger because of heavy hunting socks I think these boots run a little small and my toes were cramped I like the boots they are very well constructed I will be ordering another upon this pair being returned

I was let down with these boots, primarily because they were not waterproof as advertised. During a recent hunting trip, my feet got soaked after walking through a shallow stream, leaving me with wet and uncomfortable feet for the rest of the day. The shoes did provide good insulation and kept my feet warm, but this was negated by their inability to keep water out. Additionally, the shoes were not as comfortable as I had hoped, and I experienced some rubbing and discomfort on my heel. Overall, while the Danner Men's Vital Insulated 400g Hunting Shoes may have some positives, the fact that they are not waterproof significantly impacts their functionality and usefulness as hunting shoes. I would not recommend this product for those in search of reliable and waterproof hunting footwear.

I've never owned a pair of boots that was more comfortable than these - there was no break-in period at all. The boots felt great right out of the box. I usually wear a 9.5 or 10. These were size 10 and fit me well with a bit of room for when I need to wear thicker socks.They've kept my feet warm and dry without fail. I've never stood in water for long periods of time but if you're doing that then you probably want boots that are made to be completely waterproof. They handle paddles, creeks, rains, and snow with no trouble.I've had these for almost 2 years, mostly wearing them in fall to late spring, including daily hikes through woods with the dog. Traction and support are great even in snowy or muddy conditions.My use has only put some scuffs here and there - no tears or serious wear. I was unsure the laces and eyelets would hold up but so far they're doing just fine.

I purchased these about a year and a half ago, and have used them on two pheasant hunts, a turkey hunt, and a Boar Hunt. They’ve held up very well and have never gave me any discomfort. I’ve never even had a blister while wearing them for all day hunts.There was basically no break-in period and so far I’ve never had any dampness come through (even on a rainy Washington weekend).The sizing is accurate, however the grey ones do have a slight purple tinge to them which I didn’t expect. Not a big deal though.The reason I didn’t give these five stars is due to the tread design not sloughing off mud very well, and lacing them is a total pain in the ass. I prefer eyelets on the bottom and claw style hooks on the top. Instead of hooks throughout.I’ll likely buy another pair when these eventually fail.

La botte est molle un peu j'aurais aimé un peu plus de soutien. Pour du 2E (largeur) elle est étroite. Botte très légère et confortable.

I did buy them 1 size up based on other reviews and they fit great. Only had a chance to use them once this year...went hunting early November in about 4 or 5” of snow; feet stayed warm and dry...so far so good.

Took this on both a desert whitetail hunt and a archery elk hunt in the pines. Absolutely amazed at the comfort of this boot. Didn’t really need to break it in that much. Just about ready to go out of the box. I wear knee high snake wool socks from redhead with these and have NEVER gotten a blister, or even any discomfort from this boot. Throughout my miles of hiking through the spiny desert and rocky pines I can tell you that this is the best boot I’ve ever owned. I wear an 11.5 regular in most shoes and the 11.5 in these fit perfectly. The 400g insulation can be a little hot during the desert hunt towards midday when the sun is beating down, but it sure does come in handy for those cold early mornings and evenings when it cools down, and is pretty much perfect for the pine forest climate hunts. I would recommend these boots to anyone, and would tell with confidence you that you truly cannot go wrong purchasing these boots.

I bought these as a gift for my husband. He wore them hunting yesterday and came back very happy. He would not stop raving about how lightweight and comfortable they are. We ordered his typical shoe size in wide, and he said they hugged his foot perfectly while still having plenty of room for his toes. His old hunting boots would result in his back and hips hurting, along with his toes, but he hiked all day yesterday and said he felt absolutely great. His feet stayed warm and dry while hiking through the mountain streams. We live in Wyoming and while it wasn't especially cold yesterday, I believe a high of 50 degrees, the early morning started out much colder with high winds, and he said they were great. His only complaint was that the top back of the boot dug into his calf a bit, but he loosened them up and they were much better. He's confident that after a couple more wears, they will be broken in and this will no longer be an issue. It made me so happy to see him so happy! We bought two sizes so that he could get the right fit, and it just so happened that my dad fit the ones that did not fit my husband. Both of them fit their typical shoe size. My dad is also very pleased with them and plans to wear them out the next time they go hunting.
