Danner men s mountain light ii outdoor boot review.
The vasques fit great and have a very good design but the last two pairs seem to be made of cheaper materials both the soles and the leather uppers seem to wear out quickly.
Conclusion danner describe the mountain light as being for the modern explorer.
These danner light ii boots are a near exact replacement for a pair of danner light boots i bought 30 years ago.
I kicked the crap out of these boots for well over 400 miles in caves through briars and on gnarly rock outcroppings.
One piece of good leather to last possibly a lifetime and stitchdown construction that can be resoled.

I have a wide foot and used to wear vasque sundowners in their wide sizes.
They pay attention to details.
5 0 out of 5 stars first pair lasted 30 years.
The danner mountain light ii seems to be a good boot but not a great boot.
Personal experiences with the boots actually exceeded expectations particularly in regards to comfort and durability and i ve certainly found myself wearing them both off and on the hill.
They forgo quantity for quality with the knowledge that the boots they craft are no better than the hands that create them.
For heavy duty comfort the danner mountain light ii is like stepping into a tank lined with velvet.
This is the most comfortable boot i ve tested and it keeps getting more comfortable the longer i use it.
A full grain one piece leather upper makes this waterproof boot as attractive as it is durable.
