I like most styles of boots, including Danners. But the stitches always get wore out in the first year with miles and miles of grass and brush. Then, i'd have to send them in for repairs.

So, I picked up a pair of Danner Light II's and really do like their toughness. No stiches, one piece leather. A touch short at the ankle at times, but they are nice on the plains. Going on year 3 w/the help of a little shoe gue on the toe and sides.
