Danner Vitals boots

[Travisitguy]

Anyone have experience with this boot from Danner? I tried a pair on and they felt really good and light weight. the price isn't bad either. I do most of my hunting in Oct/Nov here in Oregon so conditions can be either wet or snow typically.

Thanks

Not that exact model ... but I've had good luck with Danners.

I've been sporting the Danner Pronghorns for 2 seasons and they have been great.
Bonus: I got a heck of a deal on them as well.

Another + for Danners. IMHO good boots at their price point. Nothing at all against the European mountaineering style boots-but like Czech optics-just not in my budget for the forseeable future.

I use a model I got in 2014 for my western hunting in cooler conditions; 'East Ridge', they continue to serve well & still have wear left; but may need to be replaced after this coming season. I only use them ~ 3/wks yr, hunting/scouting, since then, as I don't live out west and don't have the need to use them more.

I've only owned 1 pair of danner's. Kestrels,
Unlike everyone else's experience my feet never really liked them and after 3 years of use the soles simply crumbled away. Sort of like rotted off. Never tried another pair

I love my Danner high grounds have used for 3 seasons of michigan deer hunting and used them this past fall on my bear/small game/fishing trip. I make sure to re water proof them every spring to make sure they hold up after the Michigan winter hunts. Never had in issue. But I dont hunt areas with a lot of rock so not sure how well they hold up against that. Also they were one of the few boots I could find in a size 15

Can’t speak for this particular model but I love Danners. Awesome boots at an affordable price. Take care of them and you’ll be amazed at the years you get from them. I have Canadians and Elk Hunters for hunting and a pair for work...quarry I believe.

the pronghorn boots they had on display didnt look right, the leather looked almost fake or plastic which was strange. I was looking at the vitals because of the weight savings as well.

I would say if you like the vitals , give em a try.
as with any product you will find some who love it and some who hate it.

I where my pronghorns every day and am tough on them so I seldom get more then a year or two at best out of them. that may not sound great but I have found no other boot that holds up any better .and that includes kenetrek. my kenetreks was a fine boot but I simply could not justify paying twice the price of a danner a second time, when they held up no longer.

I can't speak to warranties comparison ,because as I said , I am hard on boots and figure it is wrong to take unreasonable advantage of a company.

as with all boots fit is key to comfort.

IMO ,danner makes a solid product and price is reasonable.

With just moderate wear per year I have a couple pair of Danners that have served me very well for many years.
