Danner Bull Run Moc Toe Boots review

Approximatey 3 years ago just before Christmas, our team recieved a few gifts. Danner Boots sent us each a pair of thier Bull Run Moc Toe boots. I mean Lets face it. Shooting and hunting is an expensive hobby. In order to finance our hobby, we MUST work. So we are taking this oppurtunity to review the boots Dannner so kindly sent us. They come in a few colors styles. I opted for the Dark Brown, but Black and Tan are also an option. Instantly I like the boot before I even put it on. Why? Because of the American flag sewn at the top of the boot. These boots are made here in the good ol' US of A.

 Like any work boot these took about a week to break in. I used some basball glove oil on mine and that helped the break in considerably. After the break in wearing them all day for work and even after I got home was not a problem at all. They are pretty comfy. One thing that confused me was the tongue on the boot. It is not a not a normal pull it out of the way and slide your feet in. It is attached to the side of the boot. I have owned Timberland Pro work boots and also Magnum, and the tongue was normal, so this was weird,... until it happened. We we lifting some heavy product onto a trailer. I was walking backward so we could load it from the side. Well my lace came untied, and the boot stayed put. Right on my foot with lace untied. Any other boot would have fallen off imediately and I would have caried the load with one boot on and one boot off. This is why the the tongue is attached at the sides. It really is a brilliant solution. We cant just set down a heavy piece of equipment and say "Wait Joe, I need to tie my boot". I now liked the boot even more.

It should be noted that each color has a slightly different feel. The Tan ones being the softest leather, then Black, then the Brown. All wear well and feel good on the feet, I mention this only as a preference thing.

During the 3 years I spent in these boots, Usually 9 hours a day 5x a week, I have beat the living shit out of them. Or at least attempted to. They won't die. I weld in them, Dig holes in them, walk thru mud and water, ride my Harley in them, Climb thru attics, Climb ladders, you know all the basic crap that work calls us to do. They are resilient. Even after 3 years the soles are still good, and I do not slip when walking through water, oil etc. For us electricians, it should also be noted that these boots are EH Rated for 600 Volts.

Danner does offer A variety of upgraded soles, similar to Red Wing or others, however the soles they come with really are not bad. If you suffer from back problems or just want a softer stroll, the insoles do change them quite a bit, but are not necesarry.

Whenever we receive free product I always ask myself, are these worth the price tag? Would I actully pay for them? In the case of these Danner Bull Run Boots, ABSOLUTLELY! I have actually purcahsed another pair for myself and a pair of womens for my daughter as well.
