Danner Herren Tanicus 8' Coyote Militär-und Taktische Stiefel

I've always heard great things about Danner, but couldn't afford their US-made boots (though they're undoubtedly worth the price), and I initially didn't trust the quality of their imported models. But I eventually decided on trying these Vietnam-made Tanicus boots because A) the price is right in that mid-tier sweet spot, B) reviews around the internet have been positive, and C) in my experience, Vietnam-made clothing/gear/footwear actually tends to be pretty high quality.These were the main selling points for me:- Reasonably lightweight (for a combat boot)- No "tacticool" or "operator" styling. I wanted a classic, conservative boot design that won't attract attention- Breathable construction with instep vents. My feet run hot already, and no "waterproof" boot I've ever owned has actually stayed waterproof. I'd rather them just get wet but drain freely and dry quickly- Moderately aggressive tread patternUpon inspecting the boots out of the box, I noticed there wasn't a single stitch out of place and the fit & finish was impeccable. No sloppy stitch lines, no off-center eyelets (both were a big problem with my old Bellevilles), and not a single stray thread.I have wide feet and wear a 13 in Vans shoes so I ordered 13W and they fit like they were made for my feet. (Danners always run narrow so order accordingly. Their website has a great tool that will provide a size suggestion based on the shoe brands/styles you already wear.) The toe box is plenty wide and my heel stays locked in place.Initially, there was a little pressure at the top of my ankle, where the leather bends inward as your foot flexes upward (other reviews have mentioned this, too), but it went away after the 1st mile and hasn't come back since. If it comes up, try loosening the laces instead of tightening them. This has been an issue with every new pair of boots I've ever owned.The boots feel nimble and planted, but still offer great ankle support and roll resistance. Very stable. My first day in them I did a quick 2-mile break-in hike in steep/muddy/rocky terrain and didn't have a single issue - a first EVER for me. I was blown away. And I still don't have a single gripe yet with these boots.But looking at some of the negative reviews, the only word of caution I'd offer is:Don't expect these to be the bulletproof boots that weigh 8 lbs each, can crush rocks underfoot like they were styrofoam, and are still on your feet in 15 years. This isn't that boot, and it's ok. This boot is light, agile, extremely comfortable, and will take about anything you can throw at it for a good 2 to 5 years before you replace with the next pair. If you need more than that, then you probably shouldn't be looking at mid-tier, imported, sub-$200 boots in the first place.For the rest of you: I highly recommend this boot! I think Danner found a perfect mix of comfort and capability - without sacrificing their reputation for quality - in an imported, affordable boot.

Theses boots are super comfortable. So far I can tell that they'll last longer than other boots I've owned in the past. I dig the hideaway pouch for the laces. They stay hidden and don't come out, no problems with them at all. I did have to return the first pair and go a half size bigger. They run a little small just so you know.

Took about 2-3 days to break in. Very comfortable. I like the support and the feel of the boots. Feels great, best boot I ever had in the last decade. Will write another follow up review after a couple of months.

Just tried on new boots. Run smaller than other tactical boots. Order next size up.

Is no fit right Im in the US Army and the boot is not good
