    Really good quality boot. I

    Mar 24, 2025
    Really good quality boot. I prefer earth tone colors for shoes and boots and these are really nice. They aren’t quite as comfortable as the Mountain 600’s that I have but feel a little more robust- I would describe the Mountain 600 as more of a park trail boot (they wear like an athletic shoe); but while these are called Vital Trail they are more along the line of an unimproved trail / cross country boot. They do seem to vent well and keep my feet cooler- but it hasn’t been truly hot since they arrived so time will tell. My only complaint is the flat shoelaces- I replaced them right away with round ones- but the loops are too small for my heavy Kevlar laces to fit through and the quick laces are too narrow for the heavier laces so I had to use thinner laces.

    Runs narrow

    Apr 26, 2023
    I bought previous pair in normal width and was very tight and bought another pair in a wide and seems just as narrow i walk decent amount at work and these boots got very hot even in cooler temperatures. After a break period thought they would help but still tight around toe section

    Extremely uncomfortable

    Sep 24, 2023
    This is my first pair of Danners, and I bought them after reading numerous reviews and friends highly recommended this brand. I don't know if I've ever worn a more uncomfortable boot. I've put dozens of miles on these and they have not improved a bit. The upper is very comfortable and I like that they fit a little snug on the sides, but the footbed is the problem. It's made of hard polyurethane, so it doesn't mold to your foot whatsoever. I immediately threw away the factory insole because it was paper thin and provided no cushion. I replaced them with Dr. Scholl's massaging gel insoles, but it still didn't help. I figured they would be great, because the midsole is made of a nice squishy foam material, but it doesn't do much good when they put a layer of hard plastic over top of it. Wearing these all day is like walking barefoot on hardwood floors. I'm serious. I'm going to buy a different pair of insoles, but if that doesn't help, I'm going to return them.

    Back sides of lid hurting my ankle

    Jun 1, 2021
    These boots just don’t seem to be up to the normal Danner standard. I have 2 pairs of hunting boots which I absolutely love in size 10–when I got the vitals, had to return/exchange the 10s for a 9.5. They look nice but as I wore them the first time, I noticed there’s a very hard piece on the back inside of the lid seam that rubs/pushes against my ankles and hurts like a b****! Not sure why they would have designed them like that, makes no sense. Pretty disappointed in Danner.

    Feels decent quality. Would love

    Apr 8, 2025
    Feels decent quality. Would love to have tried the waterproof of it, but the boot is too thin. It's 2025, most ppl realize a small Toe box is horrible for your foot health, yet most companies still make narrow, toe crunching boots/shoes, makes no sense. This was my last attempt at normal boot companies, returned.

    Very disappointed with these. They

    Jan 28, 2023
    Very disappointed with these. They squeak when walking, even months after the fact. The quality of the leather is not near as good as your other boots. I’ve loved my other Danner boots so much I’ve had you resole them. The handcrafted boots made in Portland are awesome. These not so much. They don’t wear well and are just uncomfortable.

    Bottom eyes are a pain to get the laces locked in but other than that great boot break in easy too which is a plus !

    Mar 17, 2020
    The boots are comfortable and I am pleased to find them waterproof as several reviewers said they were not. My main complaint is that they are very hot on my feet when hiking. I will not be wearing them in warm weather. I also wish that I could cinch them a little tighter at the top.

    I believe my Danner Recurves

    Aug 30, 2022
    I believe my Danner Recurves will provide my needs just as well.

    Runs narrow, holds moisture

    Jan 5, 2021
    Worn boots for 8-10 hour days. They run quite narrow (I ordered wide). The quality is unmatched. I hope they loosen up a bit with regular wear.

    Great boot, the first time

    Apr 18, 2023
    Great boot, the first time in my life I have ever had to purchase wide boots to fit right though. Seem to be waterproof and were pretty comfortable right out of the box, I suspect they will get more comfortable with more wear.

    So far so good. Broke

    Dec 10, 2022
    So far so good. Broke in quick. Using for general yard work and outdoor activities. I like the locking laces. Lightweight, but nice support and sole.

    So far so good I

    Jul 10, 2023
    So far so good I had to add a Superfeet insole to get the support I need, and so far they have been working very well.

    They are a little tight

    Jul 18, 2023
    They are a little tight for being size 14. But the quality is great. They are comfortable still. I have a thin foot so I really don't understand why these boots are tight on me. I have put around 44 miles on them and they are breaking in better, but I would have liked them to have more room in them to accommodate arch support inserts. Next time I will try size 15.

    They're still a comfortable boot

    Apr 18, 2025
    They're still a comfortable boot but the last 2 pair I've bought don't seem as wide as they used to be. Something definitely changed.

    Mar 11, 2025
    I Enjoy the appearance and the material. I like the height of the boot. It just feels a little narrow even for a wide. I probably just need a wider toe box.

    They tell you to size

    Jan 22, 2025
    They tell you to size down. Sized down and they were too small.

    Nice boots but a little

    Jul 22, 2021
    Nice boots but a little large. Returned for another model. Shoe box adequate but too wide in the heel for me

    Jul 23, 2021
    Craftsmanship and durability are what keeps me coming back to Danner boots. I have had excellent service from their boots in the past and these new boots appear to be another fine example of the same.

    These are awesome boots. I

    Jan 29, 2023
    These are awesome boots. I ordered One size up and they are perfect. Breaking in nicely. Would buy again.

    Bought this for my boyfriend

    Sep 14, 2022
    Bought this for my boyfriend he is a mason so he is always climbing roofs. Ankle support is great, traction to walk on roofs is great. Comfort is great! I just don’t know if they will last him over 6 months as he goes thru boots so fast, this are his first Danner’s. Boots look great, better than the others he buys. True to size and soft. Little narrow I got the wide ones but he said they are starting to stretch on his feet.

    Fit is much too tight,

    Jul 19, 2021
    Fit is much too tight, and the material does not give like leather to provide stretch and molding to the foot.

    Great boot a bit tight

    Jan 1, 2023
    Great boot a bit tight in the toe box but overall great boot

    I like everything about them,

    Mar 13, 2020
    I like everything about them, except for the over flexibly in the sole near the toe of the boot. I would like to see a more ridged boot that's still as light wait and easy to use.

    My guess is that I’m

    Jun 4, 2023
    My guess is that I’m not the typical Danner buyer since I spend most of my day in a wheelchair. However, I can manage short distances using forearm crutches and typically wearing leg braces, which are uncomfortable, awkward, and very expensive. The Vital Trail 5” gives me great ankle support in a lightweight, comfortable, confidence inspiring package that allows me to forgo the leg braces for short periods of time. I’ll never do trail walking, but to stand with my wife and walk a few yards with her, to me is priceless - these shoes allow that to be done in comfort and confidence given the traction afforded by the soles. As for looks, that is a distant secondary consideration for me, but these boots do look very nice. They are seriously well made and let others know you are sporting some quality footwear without screaming for attention.

    Sizing is accurate, nice fit,

    Dec 23, 2022
    Sizing is accurate, nice fit, still too early to know about the longevity of the boots… but initial impression is good

    The best thing I like

    Apr 18, 2023
    The best thing I like about this boot. Soon as you put them on feels like they was made for you. The only thing is the metal tubes for the string will cut into them.

    Traction is good, actually would

    Jul 16, 2021
    Traction is good, actually would prefer a Vibram sole. Too early to tell if it will last as long. The weight of the boots are just right. I bought the EE width and I have not had a problem with break-in. The Vital is still a little narrow and rubs the lateral aspect of my feet right near my little toe joint, where the upper is stitched (where the leather wrap from the side and front come together) . Other than that the boot is great, an awesome value and am sure it will be fine with more breaking in.

    I got the 13 wide

    I got the 13 wide and they fit good and have held up so far against wear and water. They are a little on the warmer side

    I did t think a

    Mar 20, 2025
    I did t think a wide bed boot was the solution to all my endurance problems but this has been it. So far the heel lock and to-be-broken-in footbed feel great and stiff in the right spots. I’m flat flooted so the right boot means I can do multiple days of long range rucking without losing a toenail or getting stiff calves. 20miles over two days in sub 20f and I have a normal aches that made me excited and able to go for a third day! Which other boots didn’t allow me to do. I expect this boot to soften up giving more flex in the heel to toe extensions while protecting my ankle in all terrain. Water resistance seemed fine in snow and foot bed water wading. So far this is boot is ticking all the boxes other reviewers said they would. For reference I wear a 11 normally and got this size in wide bed. I’m a dadbod 220lb 5”11 with a 50lb ish carry.

    Boots are a bit snug in length and width. Hopefully they’ll stretch out a bit as they break in.

    May 13, 2024
    The build quality was very very well done, however I just could not get the size right for my feet. I am traditionally an 11.5 and so I ordered that. When I received the shoes they were a little too snug on the sides so I returned and got a wide pair of 11.5's. Unfortunately these were still too snug. Great quality and I've heard great things about the brand but I just couldnt get them to work for me.

    Mar 29, 2025
    Vital Trail 5” is a great boot. I have been wearing them over the last week and they are breaking in nicely. Traction is good on loose trail small rock. They are true fit. If you’re thinking of using a thicker sock I would recommend 1/2 size up. It’s warming up here in PA and a thin to medium sock is working well during the break in. I plan on putting at least 100 miles on over the next month. Will see how they hold up but so far very pleased with the fit, comfortability and construction .

    Mar 12, 2020
    I walk a lot for work, and wanted something comfortable for trudging through ballast and the Arizona desert. These are very comfortable, lightweight, and seem to be holding up pretty well so far. I highly recommend these boots!

    Only one concern: the finger

    Apr 23, 2023
    Only one concern: the finger loop above the heel is too large and too floppy and is a safety hazard if exposed, such as wearing shorts. I have been tripped twice now while changing foot positions moving a foot in a crossover move with foot going behind opposite ankle shoelace hook caught in heel loop tripping me. Wasn’t sure what happened the first time but when it happened again with opposite side I figured out what caused it. I cut off both loops after the second time. Both instances happened on level ground, thank God. If I’d been hiking and traversing up or down a hill or elevation change it could’ve been much worse.

    Overall decent boot. I used them to hike in the Rockies, feet got a little sore by day 3. Overall pleased with the boots, I will have to add better soles if I want to hike again.

    May 9, 2020
    I’ve only had these a couple weeks but they’ve been great. Size was good and boots are very comfortable.

    Better than expected.

    Aug 26, 2020
    I got these boots primarily for my job. I'm a home inspector so I do a lot of walking around, bend down, kneeling, and crawling under homes. I was little skeptical that the material on the toe would hold up but it's been about 4 months of crawlspaces and they still look new. These boots are very comfortable, light weight, and are holding up so far. I haven't taken them on a hike yet, but know they will be perfect for that. My only slight complaint is that the insoles they came with are very thin. I had to change them out with something thicker. But other than that they great boots for a great price. Way better than I was hoping for. I think I may be a Danner wearer for life now.

    Good quality boot but runs

    Oct 21, 2022
    Good quality boot but runs a little small. I had a size 10 steel yard from danner that fit well. The vital trail has more insulation than expected so it’s tight on my feet. Wish I would have gotten the 10.5’s. Other than that they are good quality after 5 weeks of owning.

    Blister on left outer pinky toe.

    Feb 10, 2022
    I love the styling, ankle support, and waterproof features of these boots. The problem I have is the layering of materials creates a bump inside and it aligns perfectly with my little toe, aggravating it. I got a bad blister, let it mostly heal, and tried again, but it’s a no go. The right side is fine. I’ve never had this concern with other shoes/boots so I know my feet are not unusual. I just left an email with Danner for suggestions. Unfortunately, I don’t feel these are not gonna work out for me which really is to bad as I really like everything else about them.

    Loving these boots. Definitely taking more time to break them in but thats part of the fun! Would/might buy them again.

    Apr 21, 2023
    i like the design and feel of them. my feet are a little wide but not wide enough to buy a wide. the rounded toe is perfect for me. it's just me but i wish they had a little more weight to them. I use the boot for a work boot and a little weight feels good to me. the more I wear them the better I like them. i was looking for a pair of GRAVE 6" OLIVE 56301 bot it looks like you no longer make them.

    Jun 2, 2023
    Normally all my Danner's have been perfect. This pair seems to have a problem on the toe outside area where the seams meet on the inside and has created a bump. It hurts my joint on the small toes and is very uncomfortable.

    Dec 7, 2021
    These were as good in snow as I was hopping for. Very good for walking around town, I have not felt any slippage even when my Malamute tries to drag me around. Great shoe.

    Not moisture wicking

    Nov 26, 2022
    To start I wear Danner for work and hunt and hike for many years . Many different styles. Vital fit is awesome but , sorry , Danner Dry has changed . My socks are wet / soaked when I take them off . Two pair High ground , pull them off , dry . 4 pair trail treck , great , wish I could get another pair . I’m not going to count on Danner Dry . Wish I could try on a pair of the USA made boots before I send the money . Road trip to Portland sounds good .

    A great pair of hiking

    Jul 10, 2021
    A great pair of hiking shoes to be sure. Rugged, light and a perfect fit right out of the box.
