I have 2 pairs of the 8 inch 400 gram danners, the old ones and some newer ones I bought used. Those are my colder weather boots. However I need a 6" hiker for weather that is warmer. ie above 55-60 degrees.


I do too. I've had Peter Limmers and several other top brands.
My favorite by far are the ones I had on today. They are Italian leather a italian craftsmanship. Vibrant Norwegian welt soles that go hundreds of miles without wear out, yet soft enough to be grippy on rocks. Glove leather lined. 6" Tall and 3 sets of hook quick lace up. I've never seen better boots.
They usually go on hunts and hikes. They breath very well too.
Just $300 ms. Cheapest cost because they last far longer than my other boots. Alico one piece smooth grain Italian art.

Tomorrow after church my Alicos are getting a light coat of boot grease to repel water. The leather laces will be replaced with new nylon boot laces. Under that will be a silk liner and merino wool socks. I plan on using those in the woods next week and might put some milage on them. They're the surest footing on my hills and for dragging stuff.
