Time for new boots myself. My 15+ year old Cabela's kangaroo skin ones are pretty much done. They've been resoled multiple times and they're also getting a bit small as I get older. Alas, BP/Cabelas no longer makes anything close to my old boots and Browning also no longer makes their boot that I had years ago.

Do you recall how long the break in was on the Danner Grouse? I see some comments.

I see notes about it being narrow. I'm a 10-D in most of my foot but a pretty wide forefoot. Any advice?



There was very little break-in needed, they were pretty comfortable right away. The only issue I had was a weird squeak/click that developed with each step. I had no problem with the width either-depending on the maker, I'm either a 12 or 13 D.


Thanks for the inputs folks. I've got some rubber boots and looked at the fitted rubber and they're mostly pretty heavy.

Did they ever stop squeak/clicking?
