Not only does Danner have a great reputation for their boots, they also have a stellar reputation for customer service. I can attest to it as I have experienced it myself. They are just as friendly in person, probably one of the friendliest booths that I visited.
While they make boots for hiking, hunting, and lifestyle, I mainly looked at the tactical/military line. Some of the military boots such as the Rat have been revamped and re-named (to The Reckoning) and now come with a USMC logo, which I think is pretty awesome.
Black version of the boot without the logo as it does not align with their uniform (although imho black goes with everything lol)
The logo also appears on the USMC M.E.B.
Just to be sure, I did ask if the USMC only appears on military bound boots and Danner confirmed that civilians can buy them too.
I also looked at the Tachyon..not new but I have heard a lot about Danner’s lightest tactical boot…it does have an interesting feel to it
Speaking of light, it was too bad that they did not have the James Bond Spectre boot, the Mountain Light II but they did have a super lightweight hiker, their first shoe featuring a Vibram midsole and outsole.
