DannerWomen's Women's Wayfinder 8" Waterproof Hunting Boot

This is an excellent hiking boot. Easy to put on, very comfortable for hiking or everyday wear. My feet stayed exceptionally warm; I hike in winter weather. Very sturdy quality. I am very pleased with this boot.

I ordered these boots 3 days before we left for elk camp. I was weary of the reviews saying to size up, but all that was available was my normal size I wear (6.5) so I ordered them because I was in a pinch and needed these ASAP. I'm extremely pleased with the boots all around. I think the reviews stating to size up may be due to wearing too thick socks with the boots? Are they snug? Yes, they are, but once on and worn for few minutes they felt great!! I found wearing a quality wool blend sock that isn't excessively thick felt perfect! Since these boots have 800g of insulation, super thick socks aren't needed in my opinion. I wear a 6.5 and have always worn a size 7 boot to accommodate thicker socks. I was able to wear my thicker ones too after a few days of all day hiking, but the boots did such a great job at keeping my feet warm I mainly wore my thinner socks (which isn't something I'd normally due since I have Reynaud's). I'm just trying to give feedback on the sizing and why many may have recommended to size up? So, if you're going to wear thick socks, then yes, you may want to size up to account for the 800g of insulation. But overall, I personally didn't find it to be an issue. They're snug when putting them on, but felt great hiking around from day one (I didn't even get to, or need to break them in). They are very comfortable, provided exceptional support and kept my feet warm in the snow and 17° weather. Snug boots and tight, well fitting socks are a must so you don't get heel rub and develop blisters. My only complaint is that my boots started squeaking on day 3 and I'm not certain if that'll go away? I did find that rather annoying while trying to be quite as possible. I didn't read any reviews mentioning that, so I'm going to have to dig deeper on that issue. This is my first time buying Danner boots and I would recommend them to others and would purchase again if I can resolve the squeaking.

Love these boots! Light weight, and waterproof. I hiked 10miles the first time I wore them. I hiked Through heavy thick mud, streams, in warm temps. My feet never got wet or sweaty inside and I did NOT have any hot spots. I got a size 8 I am normally between 7.5 and 8. The 8 was perfect small enough to wear a thin sock but still enough room if I wanted something a little thicker. Good buy!

Love the boots but fair warning - if you’re wide through the toe area, and you prefer to wear warm thick socks or two pair of thinner ones for colder weather, it’s gonna be tight. I’m normally a size 9.5 wide but always go a size up for hikers since socks are a necessity. After reading reviews, I went up a half size as always since they appeared from reviewers to have accurate sizing. I ended up having to spray shoe stretching spray on the leather and wearing them for about an hour to get the leather parts around the boots to give a bit. Worked!

Live these boots great for summer hikes not cold hunting worth but very comfortable. Going to see how many pairs of socks I can fit to keep my toes warm for winter! Love the high ankle support very important to me!!

They fit snug enough I can use thin socks and not get blisters.

These boots are not waterproof at all. Wore them in damp grass and my feet were soaked immediately. Will be returning.

these boots are great! i live in MN and use these out deer hunting and they keep my feet good and warm - have not had any issue w/ sweaty feeti have not had any issues w/ my feet getting wet either tromping through the snow - or walking through smaller puddles
