I've never worn danners or Irish setters but I did a lot of research on boots prior to buying. I eneded up going with Lowas. I've never worn a more comfortable boot ever. My last elk hunt was in a wilderness area that involved 7 miles of hiking a day, some of it moderately steep. They were very supportive of my ankles. I couldn't recommend them more. I've worn them second season Colorado and they were warm enough, and gore-tex lined. The only issue I had was sweating in them... and getting them dry by the next AM. For this reason I had a second pair of boots as a back-up for those AM's when they weren't quite dry.

Irish setters for me - last I really needed them, I was handing my warmers out to the danner and kenetrek crowd all day while my feet were dry and warm - and blister free after a full week of climbing around the Bitteroots.

Ive seen an increasing amount of complaints with Danners. (Especially ProngHorns) I have 2 sets of Irish Setters. Very rugged, comfortable, dry and warm. Get some good merino wool socks, too. Great boots and chitty socks are pointless!

Been wearing Elk Irish Setter Trackers for a long time. I usually get 5 or 6 years, then re-sole. One Hell of a boot for the money. mtmuley

Don't know about the new Danners, but I have two pairs (insulated and uninsulated) of Pronghorns that are still going strong after several years. I hope they haven't messed up a good thing.
If you're fixin' to put a hole in something, make it a hole to remember.

I have 5 pair of Danners in various models. Haven't had a bit of problem with them and the oldest pair is 10 years old and well worn. Am replacing them with my newest pair of Pronghorns, they don't feel as broken in initially as the other pairs of ph were but are ok. I have worn them in steep stuff, flat land, and in between and other than needing a 1/2 size longer boot due to big toe problems they have never failed me. Never had any Irish Setters but wore Redwings for years at work with steel toes and they were great boots also.
