Comments about Danner Talus GTX Waterproof Hiking Boot - Wide Width:

I had high hopes for these boots, classic style, full rubber rand, leather and Gore-tex. I wear a 13W in most boots, sometimes a 14D depends on the shape of the forefoot. More rounded toe boots I'll wear a 13W, pointier toebox a 14D ( my toes kinda splay a bit ). These boots are for someone with massive - think elephant - ankles. The width of the forefoot in the 13W was fine, but the ankle and heel area was truly massive. I returned the 13W's and ordered the 14D. The 14D's fit snugger but didn't securely hold my heel down. I tried different lacing techniques but no matter what I tried my heal had excessive lift. So I returned the 14D's too. They appear to be very rugged boots, they just didn't fit my foot.

I actually bought these as a replacent for a pair of Danner's combat hikers that I had wore out and wanted the hook style eyelets.

I'd say the boots have a bit more cushion to them which is a nice upgrade from the combat hiker, but the deal breaker was even though they look nearly identical the last is much shorter, in fact a 10w combat hiker is almost 1/2" longer than the 10w talus boot. It seems to fit similar everywhere else perhaps a bit bigger heel pocket as others have said but the deal breaker was the length, being that much shorter on hikes downhill my toes would slam into the front of the boot. Not a big deal if you are trying them on, but I didn't expect the same size in two very similar hiking boots to fit so differently from Danner. Great boot if they have enough toe length for ya, but compared to my other boots they are very short.

Great boot - waterproof, warm, and comfortable. Vibram sole did show wear after two years of significant use, then they got ripped off in Costa Rica, so I bought a new pair.

These boots fit great, & are very comfortable to walk in, & hike in. I also wear them to work in
when cutting & splitting wood.

These boots appear to be well made and very durable. That being said, beware, that the heel cup of these boots are extra large. So unless you have very fat ankles this boot could be a problem. They work for me due to a nueroma in my foot, however, I still have to wear extra thick socks and inserts in the boot. Also, these boots are made in China, however, they seem to be well constructed.

Im torn about the boots. They have everything and then some going for them with the exception of the one fatal flaw. The area from the middle of the foot to the heel is rediculously big. I mean BIG!!! No matter what I tried, different socks or different lacing techniques, my heels jump around more than you could imagine. I know it's a wide size but that means in the toe box not throughout the whole stinkin boot. I found myself exceedingly disappointed mostly by the fact that if it weren't for the bad design around the heel these boots would be the best I've ever encountered. I mean it too. If you have tree trunks for ankles then you will love these boots. if you don't though I absolutely cannot recommend these. With the exception of the heel these are the most well put together boots I've ever worn. These are some rough and tumble boots that you would have to deliberately try to damage in order to succeed.
