Overall, a good midweight boot with good fit for narrow feet. Also a good value (most compereble models with stitch down soles were $40+ than regular price). Bathroom Remodel Tacoma Wa Company really satisfied by its quality.

Strength:

They have been the best pair of boots I have ever had. Very comfortable and indestructable. That is the price you pay for the ultimate in durability, and I do mean the ultimate. Will recommend this to Tile Installation El Paso

Weakness:

They are a little heavy

Really nice mid-weight boot. Fit is true to size and comes in four widths, so you can actually get what you need. Good up and down hills and on the flat in central Nevada. Union made in the USA!

Customer Service

Fast from the vendor. Tracking information provided and free UPS shipping.

Husband and I bought matching Danners in 1983. I am just now looking to replace mine in 2007. We trek mostly in rocky terrain. Vibram soles are perfect and wear long.

Customer Service

Husband contacted Danner due to slight water leak after 5 years. Danner replaced fully.

I purchased my Danner Lites at the old REI on Alameda in Denver when I lived out there in 1985. They were so light and flexible that they felt broken in out of the box. Nowadays everybody makes extra light weight GoreTex boots, back then these were some of the few. Boots with nylon inserts were rather new back then too, and I was afraid that the nylon would get cutup above treeline, but the nylon inserts outlasted the leather. I backpacked in them in the Rockies, the desert Southwest, the Adirondacks and here in the Southeast and never got a blister. My feet stayed cool in the desert and dry in New York. Out west I learned early (and the hard way) to get rid of every ounce of extra weight. You might want a stiffer boot if you carry food that has to be cooked or other such luxuries. Also, these boots did not come with the Airthotic insole, but I got a pair from the Danner folks and the Airthotics made a world of difference in stability. I used the boots for over ten years and still keep them handy for mud slogging even though they are totally worn out. They seem so old fashioned now but, I love them.

Customer Service

I purchased insoles and other acessories from Danner and was treated well. It was all sort of slow but that was before the internet and you had to write letters.

The Mountain Light 2 is a well constructed boot. It did take a bit to break in; however, it was worth it. In the summer on dry surface or in the winter on snow I have found them to be excellent boots. Quality costs..

I have had these boots for a couple of months now and they are great. I have a narrow foot (B width) and it is difficult to find boots in this width. This is a very solid, well constructed boot that is worth every penny. It took some time to get them broke-in, but I never got blisters and now they feel great all day long. I where mine for everything from hiking to working to running errands. If you have a narrow foot and want a quality boot that will last for years this is your boot.

I'm glad I purchased the Danner Light II. Practically no need for a break-in period. No blisters on a 12-mile hike after putting the boots on and using them practically straight out of the box. I could go for regular leather uppers like on the old Danner Lights instead of the current Nubuc.

I purchased a pair of Danner Lights about 5 years ago. They have been my primary shoe ever since. Hiking, backpacking, work, running around town, these boots have been great. But they have finally worn out. :(

I will probably send them back to Danner for reconditioning. I love these boots so much I have been trying for days to find a local dealer with which to replace them with. :(

I destroy shoes. Before I bought my Danner's I would be lucky if a boot would last me six months. I also have large feet 12 EE.

The only complaint that I had with these boots was the lack of arch support, but they are designed to be used with inserts. I purchased some Superfeet inserts and that made these boots perfect.

I have used them in the desert, the beach, mountains, forests, jungle, swamps, you name it. They are a little hot for the desert but not bad. They are not quite warm enough for snow.

If you are looking for a comfortable, durable, all purpose, hiking boot, these are great.
