Avoid the Jackal II. They are really light, really waterproof, and they ripped the [bleep] out of the back of my heels. The stitching protrudes above the back of the heel making it very rough. I had 3/4 inch diameter, quarter inch tall blister on each heel within a mile and I haven't had a blister there in decades. (If your heel bones don't protrude very far, they may be ok for you.)

My favorite Danner boots were, I believe, uncatalogged. A friend in the air force got them from the PX at Fairchild AFB. I wore them for 10 years or more, then the threads rotted out 'cause I'd trapped water in them w/ snow seal and they disintegrated on me. The tread was pretty well gone.
