JP Danner Update. (x-post from "shoes that look better with age" thread)

Worn on a big backpacking trip and several camping/hiking trips. These are wonderful.

[Appleseed]

Good to actually see HFMBoots used for their intended purpose. Did you end up treating the suede with something?

[seafinch]

Yeah. I didn't buy them for fashunz, they're perfect for actually using. They're also seconds from the Danner outlet, so it's much easier to beat them up when the price tag was about the same or even less than most hiking boots that I'd snag at REI.

I haven't treated them with anything. Wasn't really planning on it, although maybe I should. Any votes?

[mydenvermax]

Hey seafinch, how warm are the danners? I was thinking about getting a pair....and your post made me curious about whether they'd be warm enough for autumn/spring in Jackson, WY. They aren't lined, right?

Pics look great btw.

They're lined with goretex so you're not going to get wet. As far as warmth I've been wearing wool hiking socks so I've been planty warm. I think for Autumn/Spring these are perfect.

I know the look has really become ubiquitous, but I've always felt those JP's are the perfect hiking boot.

Kinda makes me regret getting a standard pair of ML2s.

Can you, or any other ML2 owners, comment on sizing? Comparable to other brands etc? Narrow/wide?

[Guest White Man's Burden]

^They ran a little narrow and true to size (length), from what I can recall. I'll double check w/ my pair when I get home.

[popeyejawns]

ummm yeahhh can we get some danner outlet phone #'s here thx.

[Becks23]

They didn't run narrow in my experience.

My JP ML2s were a US size 9, same as Red Wings Moc Toe boots. Sneaker size is a US 10.

[knucks]

Really want a pair of Danner boots - where's the cheapest I can get a pair of the ML2?

[knucks]

ended up getting some danner ml2s.

pics when they arrive.

[Leeacto]

What do you think is a good choice for some boots to go through snow/slush? The danners look good, but maybe not for urban winter conditions?

I'm trying to find some options outside of 8" LL Beans

[Megatron1505]

How do Timberland Abington hiker boots compare quality wise with similarly priced Red Wings?

[FunkyFrenchy]

hey, i searched the thread but couldn't find what i am looking for.

I'm looking for flat braided laces, like the ones on the visvim whymper boots... or in other colour way also.

any idea?

[su8m3rg3d]

not sure if this online store has what you are looking for

http://www.shoestringuk.co.uk/c/laces_2.php

[ericdw]

[FunkyFrenchy]

but thanks anyway.

Hi there,

First time posting, can anyone ID these boots/shoes?

For this coming Michigan winter looking for some hiking style boots to wear when going between parking and office, running out at lunch, walking the dogs and so on - but want them to be less bulky than typical hiking shoes like Danner, Paraboot, Merrell options yet still have traction. The shoe in the above picture appears pretty close to what I am looking for.

Any ideas?

I think they could be F-Troupe Ramblers but can not decide between those and Fracap M100's. The F-Troupe's don't appear as durable but I know they are relatively non-bulky but not sure how bulky the Fracap M100's are - the photos suggest a more shoe like shape but not sure:

http://us.asos.com/Fracap/Fracap-M100-Leather-Mountain-Boots/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=1307223&cid=4209&sh=0&pge=1&pgesize=20&sort=-1&clr=Brown&r=1

Any one know if the Fracaps M100s are typical hiking boot in size/weight? How they fit (I am a US10) or any other options.

cheers

Andrew

[moykky]

I don't know about M100s but the "normal" fracaps are quite narrow on the toe. I had to size up one from my normal shoesize.
