Danner Mountain Light II Boot Review & Unboxing Over 6 Months of Tough Everyday Use !!!! MADE IN USA

[@myleftthumb2294]

These are actually the Mountain Light, not the Light II. Your label says 30866. The Light II model is 30800 (brown) and 30860 (black). If I'm not mistaken, these are made of a thicker leather than the II's and will weigh a little bit more. FYI.

[@yvonjasser]

I have a pair of 30860 from 2016 and the tongue is different from the boots on here, the tongue is shorter and doesn’t have the hole for the laces

[@MorrowSind]

Heck yeah! Nice looking boots. The last few boots I've had used the lighter colored tread. I like the black tread on these. Plus, made in USA. Very nice!

[@Tiger24kicks]

I've recently picked up 3 pairs of Timberland World Hiker love them so much. I think I'll be picking up a pair of these just to dress up in. If your wear Marino wool with these your feet will be warm.

[@raulferia1516]

I prefer Merino wool

Do they fit true to size ? Should I get 10.5 my regular size or size up to 11 ? Or size down to 10

[@Jarreds]

Down to 10 Im a 10.5 and got 10s

[@enjoythesilence902]

I wear a US 10D New balance made in USA. My Mountain light is US9½ EE. Insert insoles for cushion & hygiene, try on with bootsocks.

[@Toyotas_n__Tools]

Yes size down a half size they run extra wide and have room for insoles

[@IAMJAM0]

@@enjoythesilence902does your 9.5 fit true to size or is there still wiggle room? I want mine to fit perfectly on my feet to where i don’t have to wear 2 socks, only 1. I wear a 10 as well

@@Jarredsdoes your 10’s fit perfectly on your feet with any kindve sock? Or is there still wiggle room? I want mine to fit perfectly. I wear a size 10 normally

[@chuckfriebe843]

Sorry late to the party, but I'm curious abut the sizing. What size do you wear in a sneaker? I wear a 13 in a sneaker, but in nearly all boots I wear a 12. How is the fit? I'm afraid to buy online.

[@Toyotas_n__Tools]

They're wide so you will probably down size as you do. Thanks for the response.

[@JohnJohn-x6c]

Which do you like better between these and the baurers? For a $200-$300 price difference I have to know why

[@Toyotas_n__Tools]

I prefer the baurers, they fit better and I they held up a lot more than the danners. The only issue with mine is I had to fix the pull loop after 2 years.

[@diegofianza3525]

Hi, I'll be traveling to Southeast Asia. Now, I've been there many times and usually wear "low top" boots. These Danner ML II, at 5", seem very intriguing to wear in hot temps. Would you agree that walking in these boots won't fry my feet in 90+F with high humidity? Growing up outside of Seattle, I'm not sure whether you, outside of Portland, have experience hot/humid temps in these boots.

[@Toyotas_n__Tools]

I wore them year around and didn’t have any issues with my feet, just wear the right socks .

[@marcoorias5774]

Nice boots !!!! Bro.... Hi from México ✋🏻😎☘️🇲🇽

[@JasonSchierling]

It's been 8 months. Any chance for a 1-year review?

[@Toyotas_n__Tools]

I will probably in a few more months I really haven’t worn them since I got my nicks which the video is after this one I think

[@m.a.hidalgo2497]

I have plenty of these Danner Boots / Gortex as well. Honestly the tread on these have lasted. The leather has done well, as well as the hardware. BUT I'm telling you fellas (I do work in these boots and keep active) Danner to me is just a brand to be paid for. My experience is before a year expires the gortex has gone desolate. My sox are getting soaked, especially in the snow. This is my experience from several pairs of their gortex boots. It was around the 10 month mark and on. I may have really high expectations, which I do, especially when fellas are paying $350 - $400 dollars for a pair of boots. They look good though.

[@boyfoxter5614]

So do you recomebd timberlands and red wings instead?

[@Jv808UHM]

Awesome video. I love my Danner’s

[@patland73]

Love my danner mountain light II, been wearing them for over 4 years, no problems, incredible pair of boots! By the way, you can get them natural tan leather, just get the mountain light cascade! ;-)

[@Toyotas_n__Tools]

I actually tried those first and I didnt like something about them compared to the other style. Maybe I might try them again.

[@z33thr33]

@@Toyotas_n__Tools I just got a pair, and they dig into my upper heels with the top edge. Did this happen to you at all?

[@Toyotas_n__Tools]

@@z33thr33 No they actually didn't, I would contact them for a warranty exchange, they will give you a giftcard for the full retail value of $400 of whatever they are so you can buy a new pair. If you can return them and get some Nicks Urban drifters. They do take about 3-5 months to be made tho.

[@euphoria2339]

Size tip? Should I go half size down

[@patland73]

@@euphoria2339No take your usual size.😉

[@1giane]

can i wear these in summer ? in 25 degrees celcius (not sure what that is in F°)

[@Toyotas_n__Tools]

Absolutely, I wear boots in all weather even 100+ degrees and the only thing that I do differently from season to season is change the type of socks I wear. Another thing none of my boots have an odor to them, like a sneaker would.

[@alfredobanuelos7206]

What a great review

[@mollyschultz2331]

Nice video! Liked, commented & subscribed...

[@mollyschultz2331]

Also I’m getting ready to order the mountain light cascade women. Really looking forward to getting them for the fall season. 😊

[@Toyotas_n__Tools]

Awesome Molly thanks for the sub! I have another pair of boots I’ll be reviewing here in the next week or so! They’re Nicks and if you like these then the Nicks will be cre’me de la cre’me 😂

[@Baron-nv1ez]

I bought a pair of these boots and have to say that despite their high-quality construction they're way too uncomfortable and that is a big deal-breaker. I don't know what dumbasses at the R&D department of Danner were thinking when they decided that this boot didn't "need" to be used with insoles. Yes they do need insoles despite what the representatives at Danner claim. They're way too painful to be used without them and if you decide to slip some insoles into the boots, they become too uncomfortable at the top of your feet.

[@Toyotas_n__Tools]

Yeah I agree, it’s a gimmick to be cheap and skimp the purchaser

[@arnoldgrabski6436]

I wear my mountain lights as my hiking boots and clean them frequently to wear as nice town boots. I love the way the foot bed feels with no insert or insole. Have you worn them 50 or so miles yet? They took me forever to break in but are so comfy now.

[@Baron-nv1ez]

@@arnoldgrabski6436 I have Plantar Fasciitis so I'm forced to use footwear with the ability to change the insoles in order to be able and put my own personal insoles in created specifically for people with Plantar Fasciitis and also I'm, flat-footed. These two reasons are why I need to wear footwear that has the ability for removable insoles.

[@IAMJAM0]

I noticed that these come in EE sizing. I wear a size 10, so should i get a 9.5? I want them to fit on my feet perfectly, instead of having a lot of wiggle room yunno

[@Toyotas_n__Tools]

Yes go half size down, if you can find a dealer nearby try on the 9 and then 9.5. Also make sure the dealer carries the particular model before just going to any boot shop that says they have Danners.

[@blueband8114]

I'm the opposite, the Goretex interior puts me off. Much prefer an all leather boot.

[@somespreadliesothersknowth3392]

If you graft every day no boots last long, so it's a matter of (comfort) so if there cheap and comfortable for you and last 3 month's , it's all groovy ,and the same for the expensive boot if they last you longer and there triple the price groovy to (comfort) is the key 😉😊

[@somespreadliesothersknowth3392]

Scrap that comment thought they was work boots 😂 (steelis)

[@Toyotas_n__Tools]

LOL ;p Still a good comment! Love your name btw!

[@20Hikecdt23]

I read where hardware gets rusty

[@klaushuxley3342]

These are not Mountain Light II boots, they're the original ones. Model number is on the box - 30866. I have the Mountain Light II boots (30800), and the hardware is not chrome looking like this. Mine are over 3 years old, and the hardware has a copper color to it. I've not had any rust issues.

[@XbenXdoverX1337]

sweet boots

[@Toyotas_n__Tools]

Thank you! I got some sweet ones coming in a week or 2 I ordered back in Febuary ;p haha

[@Heywoodthepeckerwood]

Don’t put insoles in these boots. Well made boots don’t need them. Leather and cork will form to your foot.

[@bradlarrison191]

Theres no cork in these. I dont think theres leather either.
