These are awesome shoes. Super comfortable right out the box, so stable, great traction, and the list goes on. I bought them for a trip I just took where I was expecting to do some hikes, a lot of walking, hanging around town, and running into some rain, plus I didn’t want to be changing shoes all the time. These checked all the boxes and they look good with the pair of slacks were or jeans as wel Mark B. · danner.com
