These boots were the real heros of our 10 day, 102+ mile hike of the Cotswold Way. My feet stayed completely dry and I never got blisters. We met others on the trail who were having real problems with wet, painful feet—not us (my husband also wore Danner boots on the trip). I wore half a size bigger than usual (I wear 8.5, got size 9) and wore high quality wool socks. Highly recommend this boot!! Kelly B · REI
