Danner is my go-to brand for quality boots.

I've been issues a lot of boots from work and the Danners are the most comfortable by far. They made it through some real shit, too.

Love my danners but I still go through a pair a year with my current job. Last job I got about 5 years out of a pair.

Oof, that's rough.

It really depends on the job, I guess. I wore the Danner Reckonings for about 2 years straight and they were a little rough looking but still in great shape. The tip of the boot where the sole curves up the front was starting to peel. The worst I did with them was mountain climbing and some very wet environments.

Some of the dudes I worked with were sent to an area with a lot of lava rock, which absolutely shreds boots.

I wear the Quarry composite toes but mine peeled like that too. I work in rubber manufacturing and it just eats the shit out of everything.
