Is there a Danner boot worthy to use on Elk Hunt?

USA danners re a great boot. But at that price there is a lot of choices and competition.

I have a pair of the Cabela's/Danner Elk Hunters. I don't know if they're made anymore but they are awesome boots. Many miles with no complaints. I have the 600g insulated ones and they are very warm, too warm for early season but they made a lighter insulated model and an uninsulated one as well.

just got an email from Danner..they are having some "up to" 60% off sale right now..heads up..saw some USA boots in the mix.

I have had the USA made Danner Explorer for around 5 years now. Have been very happy with them. Mule deer hunted with them in Idaho's Hells Canyon last hunting season and they did great. I'm gonna send them in for a complete rebuild here soon. Hopefully I still like them after that. Anyone with any experience having them rebuilt?

I would love to support Danner, since they are made in the USA and actually much closer to home for me living in Portland, OR. I have not had good luck with them. I went through 3 pair of one of their best US made boots before the warranty ran out.

The fact that they only have a 1 year warranty (6 months if used for occupation like logging, guiding, etc) tells you all you need to know. And it is not a 1 year warranty for each pair of boots if you need a replacement, it is 1 year from the original purchase date. So it doesn't matter if you get 11 months out of a pair of boots and then your replacments fail after a month...you're screwed. They used to have a lifetime warranty.

Every other high end boot manufacturer in that price range have a lifetime warranty. I have a very difficult time investing that kind of money in a product that the company will only stand behind for a year, or less if you use them for your occupation.

In my opinion their quality went drastically downhill about ten years ago. Promised myself I'd never own another pair.
