Based on the reviews at the end of this post taken from Amazon, this is a rather good pair of hiking boots worth checking out, despite a relatively high price. Would try to get cheaper hiking shoes in next posts.

Colors available are Dark Tan, Dark Earth and Beluga. Scroll down for the images of the boot. The first series of images are Dark Tan in multiple angles.








And the following are Dark Earth and Beluga, respectively.






Note: Availability of sizes for each models vary. The Dark Tan has most sizes available, but less so with Dark Earth and the least for Beluga. Do browse for different sizes for different color models here.

I've tried the Danner Mountain Boots, Jungles, and Cold Weather Aftermarket Danners to wear over here in Afghanistan for the last six months.

I have to say that these boots are the best I've owned in 9 years of Military Service. Granted, you can't wear them in Garrison but if you want a pair of light boots that help you run up and down rocky mountains while wearing a full combat load doing cartwheels then these boots are for you.

You can feel the rocks under your feet as the rubber soles but it doesn't hurt at all- but I have a definite feeling of good traction when I am moving up these goat trails and random rock formations.

They're super light compared to any issue boots, about a half what jungles weigh.

Also, you don't have to break these in whatsoever. I put them on the night before, walked to get some food and back, then wore them on a 9k dismounted patrol the next day. No blisters or anything.

Anyhow, I love mine.
