Preferred different boot laces, now love them more.
I've been so obsessed with finding the perfect hiking/backpacking boots that also can be used as sort of city shoes while traveling. After reading up so many reviews and articles, I decided these are the winner. I couldn't decide on sizing based on mixed reviews, so I ordered 6.5 and 7 and tried them both. I wear size 7 usually for most of shoes. For running and hiking, I get 7.5 sometimes depends on brands (Merrell, Asics). I have somewhat typical Asian feet, wide-ish and flat. My true bare feet size is 6.5. With knowing these 'leather' boots need break-in period, I could tell 6.5 was too tight right away. I wore them inside the house for couple of hours and my feet started being numb. I tested the same way with size 7, and it felt right. The boots shape looks like it becomes narrower towards the toe, so my widest part of foot is slightly too tight, but hopefully when I break these in it won't be a problem. Even thought the vintage inspired red flat laces were the thing for these boots, the style wasn't quite working for me so I changed them up with the gold & tan laces from Danner and now I love the looks so much better. Since I'm still in the middle of breaking it in period, I should update the review later cause I'm still not 100% sold on using these for real hiking. Hopefully it works versatile like that. I'll report you all back later when I walk a trail or two.
Thank you for your feedback

5.0 out of 5 stars Very happy with purchase
Reviewed in the United States on May 6, 2015
I bought these boots because my husband and I planned a trip out to Utah and Arizona to go hiking. After reading some reviews I decided to buy a half size bigger. Good thing I did because they fit great! I will say this, you have to break them in. I wore them around before my trip for a few hours everyday for 2 weeks. When I first wore them I got a blister on my right Achilles heel from the friction of the boot. However, it healed and once I bought thick wool socks (over the ankle ones) and put moleskin on areas I thought could be affected, I was totally fine. There was no rubbing and no cuts/blisters. I wore them on a 7.5 mile hike and my feet were comfortable and fine the whole time.

These boots are lovely and very well made. I received a ton of compliments on our trip. On our hike some guy yelled out "Danner boots rock!" Highly recommend. I am pretty sure these boots will last me for many years.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Boots
Reviewed in Canada on January 24, 2017
The boots are very comfortable right out of the box. I can't wait to get them broken in. I reduced a star because I was disappointed in the aesthetics. I didn't notice anything that stated these were seconds, however I find it hard to believe that the eyelet placement on the right boot wasn't noticed by quality control. I'm not one to return things but decided I would. Although they were a fraction of the cost of buying them directly from the company, they are still an expensive boot. When I looked them up again to review the return procedure I noticed that if I wanted to re-order them the price had gone up by $90. I thought long and hard, ensured that the eyelet placement wasn't going to create a comfort/fit/quality issue and decided it wasn't worth an additional $90 and kept them.
