Description

Legendary among hikers and backpackers worldwide. The USA-made Mountain Light hiking boot is renowned for its unmatched quality, durability and support. Our full-grain leather is thoroughly tested for strength and durability before being accepted. Gore-Tex lining provides waterproof protection that allows your feet to breathe. The molded PU Danner Airthotic footbed features an instep that cups the heel and supports the arch of the foot, with perforations to provide additional air circulation. The Vibram Kletterlift outsole offers lightweight comfort and superb grip on a variety of terrains. The outsole is secured to the upper using Danner’s legendary stitchdown construction, which provides a wider platform and a longer-lasting sole, which can be recrafted, because even the best boots wear down after years of hard use.

  • great boots
I currently own two pairs of Danner boots - these, and a pair of special forces desert boots that I've owned since special forces started wearing them a dozen or so years back - both are of similar construction although the desert boots are taller and offer ankle support in a way these do not, and the desert boots are meant to allow air to flow around the foot while keeping out sand and dirt(which they do well) and these are waterproof so do not breath like desert boots - other than that this review works for both with minimal modification. I probably have as much experience with this type of boot as anyone for what it's worth. I first had a pair of Danner boots made this way when I was a teenager and wore daily into my 30's. I threw them away because they got so filthy and ugly that I could no longer clean them enough and the vibram soles were worn down almost flat at the ball of the feet but they were still fully functional and waterproof. I remember they cost $60 which was a crazy high price for hiking boots 40 years ago, much more than $300 is today. A shopping cart of food was $10 and gas was about a quarter per gallon. This type of construction lasts far longer than anything else still on the market. They are expensive but well worth the price - they'll out live many pairs of 100+ dollar boots so, in the end, they are much cheaper. Unlike most boots made now, they can be re-manufactured and repaired properly. You could conceivably keep these boots for the rest of your life. The finish on the Stumptown boots is worthless, it will begin to scrape away the first time you wear them, but it makes no difference in the long run. Good polish brings them back to a decent look if you have a need for them to be shiny. They look like cheap work boots, so looks are not a reason to buy these. They are made of the highest grade materials and are truly built to last as long as a boot can last. They take a bit to break in but form to your feet in about two weeks (constant, everyday wear or a LOT longer if you just wear them on hiking excursions)until they feel like they were custom made from a mold of your feet. The loose parts tighten around your feet, the tight parts loosen up. They are NOT comfortable when you first put them on (unless they just happen to fit right out of the box) but will be after taking the long time to break them in properly. Remember that these boots are old school craftsmanship - we are a society accustomed to instant gratification and you won't find that in a boot like this. When I was young, any high quality shoe took time to break in so it doesn't bother me. Many shoes today don't even last as long as it takes to break in a great pair. Make sure you put the laces through the tiny slits in the tounge or it will slide off sideways. It takes some doing to get it through. The tounge design is bulky and you'll need to take some care while breaking in to get it to set in a way that is comfortable to you. If you just tighten the laces and go, you may end up with a bunch of leather in an uncomfortable position. If you set it right for your feet, it will quickly gain a memory of that position and fall into place every time. The heel is wide and takes time to form - thick wicking socks are a must for these boots espescially at first or your heel will slide around. The moisture from your feet eventually shrinks them into fit but that's the part that takes the longest. These boots are not for everyone. They are somewhat expensive up-front and take time to become truly your boots. If you want instant comfort, be prepared to buy new boots every year or two. If you are willing to break in a pair of these, they will be comfortable for many, many years. ... show more

  • Great boots
First off I want to say I've been looking for a quality pair of boots for about a year. I've owned red wings in the past and loved them but every single pair I tried on in the last year just didn't fit right. These danner boots do. I wanted a pair of boots I could use daily through the cold weather months. A pair I could do some work in, a pair I could take to the trails if i wanted but overall just a good comfortable, nice looking pair of boots that will hold up to the abuse I dish out. After picking between three different boots I read reviews and went with the mountain lights 2. I was a little conserned and hesitant because of some of the reviews in comfort and fit. I will say my very wide feet had no trouble with these boots. I don't understand nor do I have problems with the tounge like many have. I do have pain in my achilles tendon after a long day of use but that's common with most boots new out of the box for me. The fit was off in the first pair I ordered. I've had my foot measured recently and its a 10.5. With how wide my foot is I usually get an 11 and in some cases depending on brand go up to an 11.5. The first pair I ordered in an 11 and it was huge!!!! The second pair I got a 10 (I've never wore a 10 in any brand) and it fits perfectly. Just a warning my experience is these boots run big by a half size ... show more

  • Awesome boot, the provided insoles suck. MAKE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND THE FIT AND SIZING.
Size: 12 Wide Color: Brown
Been wearing the boots for over a month now, and they are great. The Mountain Light II is, by design, a tighter fitting boot than the standard Mountain Light. Please be aware of this! They are designed to be snug, and fit like a glove. You must take this into account. I normally wear a 12 or 13, since 12.5's don't exist in most brands. I normally wear a regular width (D) boot and shoe. I ordered these as a 12, but ordered them in EE, which is wide, and not what I would normally order. I followed the directions on Danners website about sizing for these boots. I measured my foot, and knowing they were narrow boots, I ordered the EE size. They showed up, and they fit perfect. I feel the D would have been TOO NARROW for my NORMAL width foot. All that being said, the boots have been great. They needed some serious break in being that they are good heavy leather. I wore them around the house and office for light duty for a few weeks before I took them out in the wild. Since then, they've been on a few chukar hunts, and pulled lots of outdoor work duty around my property. I have been wearing them daily ever since they broke in. Great fit and finish, comfortable once broken in, and solid. I don't have much issue with tongue slippage as others do. I swapped out the green laces for Red paracord. Much better. be aware these come with the Danner "airthotics" insoles. They are a super slippery white plastic heel cup. My heel kept sliding in them, so I tossed them out and bought a set of Superfeet. Much better. Its unfortunate that they include a $30 pair of insoles that in my opinion are junk, I'd expect better for a nearly $400 pair of boots. But, given that they cost that much and should last a long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long time, Spending another $50 on a quality pair of insoles wasnt a big deal. It might be petty, but the insoles are the reason I'm giving this boot a 4 star instead of 5. Again, for an average retail of nearly $400 after tax, they should have nailed that. ... show more
