Great but scuffs easily can can't be buffed or repaired

Love the look and fit, but they scuff easily, and the scuffs can't easily be repaired or fixed. So that's a bummer.

Surprised that the size chart

Surprised that the size chart was right on! Great craftsmanship. Had a pair (urban walkers) since the 80?s - this was a great replacement.

Best pair of boots I?ve

Best pair of boots I?ve ever purchased. Kinda pricey for my standards but the comfort is worth the price. I wear my boots 12-15 hours a day sometimes, they are more comfortable than my Nike Air Max. The boots can overheat my feet if its warm outside and I have on regular cotton socks. What helps me is to wear my dress socks because they are thinner which keeps less heat in.

I used this boots for work. They?re incredibly comfortable and one of the few boots I?ve found that can take a lot of abuse and look better with age. Once I tried my first Danner?s, it didn?t take long for my closet to become full of them. Keep up the good work guys!

Love these boots. They are

Love these boots. They are so comfortable and look really good with the extra set of laces included. I read other reviews that state these run a half size large, and I would disagree. I am generally a size 12 in Nike running shoes, so I ordered an 11 1/2 at first and these where to tight. The 12 fit perfectly.

The look and design are great. However, the boots take in water and moisture. I expected the boots to be more water resistant.

These shoes are very comfortable

These shoes are very comfortable and stylish. Order a half size smaller if possible they run a little large. The only gripe I have about these shoes is that when mine arrived they seemed to be in poor condition. The laces were frayed and the leather looked as if it had sat in water for a little while. They cleaned up nicely though and I imagine I will have these for years to come. Would buy again.

Good boots overall

Looks cool, soft and comfortable, keeps your feet dry and great traction in midwest snow; the downside is they scuff easily and the marks and scuffs are not attractive or easy to fix, so that is a bummer.

FEATURED REVIEWS

Know what you are buying

By Production D.

First off - this is a review after two years of use. I work in live production and see miles of concrete, decks, grass, dirt, and carpet covered concrete. I see all sorts of weather, and put in an average of 12 hour days on job site. There are days when it is a full build site, and there are days when CEO's are walking around. I needed a boot that has enough durability and enough style to walk in both worlds. I am also a life long Chuck Taylor person. I thought these would basically give me ...

Awesome boots!

By Sean

These boots are amazing for all types of weather. I've only had them for the winter so far, but they've performed well on rainy NYC days as well as snow. While they're not insulated, they keep my feet warm and do the trick paired with a pair of wool socks on super cold days. They are also super stylish and can be worn around the office.

Ideal Boot for The Urban Explorer
Drawing on decades of experience designing premium hiking boots, Danner originally created the Vertigo boot in 2009. The Vertigo 917 combines classic styling and innovation in a new, modernized boot. The technical Vibram midsole and outsole, full-grain leather upper and waterproof GORE-TEX liner make the Vertigo 917 the ideal boot for the urban explorer.

Features

Full-Grain Leather Upper
To ensure its quality, Danner puts their leather through six different tests before making selection. Daner's full-grain leathers are the strongest and most durable form of leather.

GORE-TEX (GTX)
100% waterproof and breathable, GORE-TEX liners ensure that no water gets in, while allowing sweat and moisture to get out.

Removable OrthoLite Footbed
Three layers of varying density are combined for maximum cushioning and support. The entire footbed is made of open-cell polyurethane for better heat dissipation and air circulation.

Vibram SPE Midsole
This rubberized EVA midsole maintains the same cushioning properties as traditional EVA, but is more durable and won't break down as easily. This technology enhances rebound, comfort and support.

Vibram 917 Outsole
Exclusive outsole for Danner featuring XS Trek rubber compound for an optimal balance of durability and traction in wet conditions on the trail or city streets.

Modernized Stitchdown Construction
Combines Danner's traditional stitchdown technique with cup sole construction that allows the boot to keep a wider platform while eliminating the need for a buffed sidewall. This gives their sneaker boots a modern aesthetic and lightweight, flexible finish.

How It Fits
This boot is built on a new great-fitting, ergonomic last based on Danner's existing 971. It's true to size with more of a gentleman's boot fit updated with added footbed allowance for stability and greater underfoot support. It's easy to wear and comfortable for use in a variety of casual environments.
