There are some good Danner's out there.  The Fort Lewis is agreat one, brother.  Takes a minute, or weeks, to break in, but they're good.

There are some really good Danners, still made in the US, and some crappy Danners, made elsewhere.  I'm about 12 years into my 2nd pair of Danner Mtn Lite II hikers.  Made in Portland, OR. First pair lasted 15+ years. Expensive - about $350 at Midway.  And, poorly named, because they are quite heavy by today's standards, But they've become my outer skin and the Airthotic food bed insert really becomes appreciated once you exceed 10 miles of trekking in any given day.  I don't mind paying a premium if it the product performs and lasts 3-4 times longer that cheaper boots.

4th resole

We actually have a shoe cobbler's shop now after what must have been 30 years, we have our immigrant community top thank for that, nice to have someone around for leather repair :thumbup: .........

Had to break down and get another pair of Redwings after the 3rd sole wore out. Welding plays hell on the leather over the course of 8 years. Well technically 4 I guess, I have 2 pair and rotate daily to let the other one dry out.

Recently went and looked at a new pair (3 years +inflation) they want 80$ more and 4 lazy sombitches had to pause there chat to ask if I needed help.. I replied no but you will. See ya!
