Bought these to replace my worn out Salomon's and found the new versions have hit the post on what I thought was the perfect fit with their latest model. Enter OBoz. Never heard of them - glad I have. They are buff. Spent 5 days with these out of the box scrambling around Yoho - average 15km / 20 km days and 1000m elevation on broken and trailed terrain. These are amazingly comfy out of the box. C bonavistabike · mec.ca

I’ve had the 600’s for almost two years, great boots! Got these for Xmas and they are really nice. First hike in them today was 4. 5 miles, and they are extremely comfortable out of the box with good ankle support. Lighter weight than my 600’s. Can’t go wrong with Danner hiking boots… Josh · danner.com
