Sole is trashed after half of a fire season. Stitching on the heel failed and the upper has separated from the lower, I can see my sock through the boot, not safe for being on the line with burning material to easily get inside and burn me. I've worn them six month's and already not usable. Never again, and of course I purchased them over a year ago so no warranty.

I did two fire seasons with over 700 hours of overtime in one pair. About to buy the exact same boot. They don't hold up quite as well as the thicker leather that you might get with a White or Nick boot but they are way more comfortable and that flatter sole provides more stability for me personally. Their lightness and comfort what you get in trading off some durability. I had to have a local boot store sew some leather patches in heel where the stitching blew out on both boots but it was a cheap fix. Danner might have done it but I needed it done quickly to get back to work.

Great boots, second time buying them and will buy them again.

Danner makes good hiking and work boots. Wildland Firefighting? Not so much. They do the job just fine, and they’re very comfortable, but they fail to provide the durability and lifespan you would expect/desire and that other Wildland fire boot brands provide. This is my 3rd pair, each one lasts a year, 2 if you’re lucky.

Comfortable, easy to break in. However, didn't last more than one fire season. Heel leather detached along one side of heel, large hole all the way through leather on interior side of boot, lining detached from leather interior on both boots, and tread on sole almost completely worn off. Totally unwearable after one active fire season.

The width is giving problem being my toes and feet little too large but I’m Am still breaking the boot in my my hikes and working with them. Hopefully it was snug into place and fit well soon.

Like walking on a cloud. Great grip on steep, rocky, loose and uneven terrain.

Toe box is a tad on the tight side for me but otherwise a nice boot, I haven't had to fight a wildfire in them yet but wore it around the station and in trainings and was plenty comfy.

I am a wildland firefighter in John Day. I only had two weeks to break these boots in and they were AMAZING. They didn’t even burn when I stood in hot black and all my friends were hopping around.

As comfortable as they are, just wish they would last a little longer

When look for a boot if they don’t have it in the store they will get it ordered for you

Perfect. Started wearing right away and feel great on feet. Hope they last a while

Incredibly comfortable from the get go. Great ankle support. I do large and small animal rescue behind fire lines and so far great protection.

The boots are true to size and lightweight, break in period was zero. I have had 2 pair of these boots sna have found that just aren't built to last. After 1 season in my second pair the arch support broke and the cloth on the inside of the boot covering the plastic heel. The treat on the boot is not that aggressive and you can find yourself sliding pretty easy going up or downhill. I taste three stars cause the boot does protect your foot pretty well, I did not get hot foot, and my feet didnt blister.

I went up a half size for the length that worked. The right boot is still narrow.

I wish you made a women's boot!!! It would be nice to have a narrower heel fit. Still pretty stiff - don't flex well going down stairs. Otherwise comfortable.

This boot is a game changer in comfort and support. I work Search and Rescue and this is my go to boot in all conditions that don't involve crampons. Coming from the Flashpoint boot, this is night and day. No brutal break in period, just an occasional lace adjustment here and there. You don't have the heel height but these still climb very well and the wide width is very accommodating from heel to toe. It's a bigger boot in person and it is warm. Easy on and off after long days and nights. Highly recommended for carrying heavy loads over long distance with support and comfort.

These were a gift for my godson who’s a firefighter. These are his absolute favorite. He was working the Dixie fire in California and we just wanted to make sure he had what he needed!

I have fell in love with this pair of boots. lightest most comfortable pair I've ever owned. I would totally either get new pair when these get worn out or have a them fixed because I ok ke them that much

Quick and dirty... They were comfortable but cannot keep up with the daily grind of the job. I am on a Hotshot crew in R4 and was looking for an alternative to my JK's. My first day of work was April 27, 2020. As of July 28, I have completely worn through the sole of the boot. For crew guys, if you are looking at these to save money, you won't because you'll have to buy a few pairs. If you are looking at them because you're tired of loggers, then they are a decent option. It just sucks no one can build a viable alternative boot for us.

Great boot, no break in time. Only negative thing is they do not last. If you are hiking and fighting fires in these on a regular basis, they will not last more than 4-6 months. Wish Danner could find some better material with the same comfort.

I work on a type 1 handcrew. I’m a bit disappointed in the boots. Super hard to lock in the heals . When wearing these for days, your foot moves around a lot. Lots of new blisters . They don’t breath .After speaking with several other fighters this is common. Good for IA fires but terrible for the long haul. Last and only pair I will purchase I think.

Super supportive. The grip is amazing. I bought them for my motorcycle commuting and they're working great, gripping super well on wet streets. I bought a size up and EE, due to the fit of my Alsea boots.

Awesome pair of boots comfortable and really no break-in period

Great fit. Comfortable to wear all day. I did have to order 1/2 size up because my size was short due to the round toe. Return was simple and professionally handled. One thing I would like to see changed is speed lace eyes instead of the hooks because the hooks hang on things other than just the laces, and the speed eyelets are just faster and easier.

I had to exchange these for a wider pair as these were incredibly narrow. As a woman who frequently has to wear mens boots (I work in wildland fire and Danner doesn’t offer a women’s version) this has never been a problem. However, these started cutting off the circulation in my toes almost immediately. It makes me wonder who these were designed to fit?

They tore up my heels on my first long hike on a fire.

I normally wear size 9 1/2 or 10. I tried on these boots in the store and finally settled on an 11. Size 10 in these were way too small. Other than that I love these boots. I always have problems breaking-in all leather boots but these were very comfortable right out of the box.

Received my Danner Wildland Tactical Firefighter 8" full leather boots. I have had Danner Acadia boots in the past (still have them 26 years old) so i had a good idea that these boots would be of the same quality as my old Acadia boots. Well i was pleasantly surprised that the quality, workmanship and comfort strait out the box was better than what i was expecting. superb quality boot. highly recommend these boots, with exceptional comfort from the first time you put them on. I am usually a size us 10.5 but in these boots i'm a size us 11. Shopping through Sheplers for these boots was effortless and a great experience. The shipping to Australia was fast and the boot was well packaged.

These boots fell apart after my first assignment. The insoles and midsole got holes in the heels almost immediately - leaving my feet blistered at the heel; the outsoles come apart at the ends so I’m losing traction easier and grabbing random plant matter as I hike along. They’re pretty wide so if you’re on any slope, your foot will slide around inside the boot so make sure you either double sock or wear extra thick socks. The eyelets lose integrity and get pulled outward quickly so sometimes my boot laces will come apart and I have to press the eyelets back down with my multitool pliers. I would not recommend these if you’re on a hand crew, but even if you’re on an engine, these boots get unusually hot even for fire boots.
