Two Years, Then Got Myself a Second Pair
First off, as Danner says, size down a half size. I generally wear 10.5, but 10 in Danner boots.Now that’s said, I’m a light-framed dude who’s hauled my kids around on kid backpacks, hiked my local parks on the weekends, and done some moderate level backpacking all while in my Mountain 600s for two years. As an avid hiker and backpacker, I’ve owned Asolo and Merrill full-grain leather boots in the past, and as a runner, ASICS and Mizuno are equally my favorites for fit and feel for the roads. Danner Mountain 600 is now my favorite hiking boot. I just bought my second pair new. I bought my first pair moderately used on eBay (the saddle tan pictured) and then wore them for two years before buying a second pair new without the box on Amazon Warehouse.I find these boots to be flexible for grip on wet, rocky ascents (Chimney Tops in GSMNP with my 2 year old boy on my back) — the flexibility is close to a trail running shoe — with just enough bulk to not feel uncomfortable on a jagged trail. I’ve hiked in both hot and cold with Darn Tough hiking socks (pictured) with comfort in all temperatures. I’d venture to say you could probably play a game of pickup basketball on the blacktop in these and turn around and pack in 35 pounds of weight into a backcountry camp all while staying nimble, stable, and comfortable. I’ve also been comfortable doing yard work and bucking up trees in them.That said: five stars.My saddle tan took linseed oil well; they’re pictured next to my new pair without a clean up or recent oil.I bought a different color (rich brown) the second go ‘round, because I found them on sale in the Amazon Warehouse. If I’d spent the money, I’d gotten saddle tan again — strictly for their look.Anyhow, if you’ve worn trail running shoes and full grain leather hiking boots, these fit like a perfect mashup. Compared to my stuff-soled Asolo’s that also had Vibram outsoles, the Danners grip the ground much better with their flexibility, and that’s why I prefer the Danners.
