I love me some good boots, and quality footwear is important for any outdoor activity. I’ve recently had the opportunity to try some new boots from Danner, and they’ve really impressed me.
The model is Vital, and I’ve been using these boots heavily for the past six months. Danner’s PR material for this model says, “Lightweight and fast, the Vital is a versatile staple for the agile hunter.”
I can’t say I’m all that agile these days, but I have used these boots for everything from walking wooded properties to clearing and building fencelines through the woods to moving and loading furniture to hunting in the rain for days on end, and they have yet to disappoint me. That’s saying a lot, because I’m notoriously demanding and selective, especially when it comes to reviews… and for once, I have nothing to complain about.
These boots are available with or without insulation; mine are style 41550, which are not insulated. Here’s some info from Danner:
