DannerDanner mens Striker Ii Ems Uniform Boot

Amazing boot. Very comfortable and holds up well as a daily boot for law enforcement. It is wider than expected. I have very wide feet and ordered the medium width. Next time I will ordered the narrower ones. Length was perfect.

Fits true to size so make sure you get your shoe size measured properly and buy that size.Light weight, fits great, very comfortable after long days. Come from 511s to these and the Danners live up to their reputation.Haven't had any issues with the zipper like other reviewers but I am careful zipping them on and off.

EDIT: Original review below for honesty's sake.I was wrong about these boots. Yes, the bootstraps were weak and there were some loose stitches. I have since worn them nearly daily for 12-16+ hours at a time, indoors and outdoors, on concrete, loose gravel, mud, tile floors, carpet, and countless other surfaces dry and slick. Combined with the insoles they're a force to be reckoned with. They have stood up to A LOT of abuse and are still going strong. While I've never had to wade through blood or bodily fluids wearing them I k now I can do so safely, and the steel toes have come in handy a couple of times now. The soles don't wear anywhere nearly as fast as I thought they would, and I am very happy with these boots. I got a great deal on them but after having worn them nearly daily for the past seven months I would like to amend my original review to say that YES, I would pay full retail price for these boots and feel good about it. I'd still like USA made, but these are damn good boots and I owed them a re-write.ORIGINAL REVIEW:I got a terrific deal on a pair of these from Amazon Warehouse. The price I paid was a mere fraction of the retail price and a good thing too, because the construction isn't all that great for a pair of boots bearing the Danner name. By and large I don't fault Danner for having a lower-end range of Asia-made items, but I'm not okay with selling them for the same price as the American-made boots whose outstanding quality Danner built their reputation on.After about 2 weeks of every other day use one of the bootstraps tore half off and after having a professional leatherworker take a look at it he said it was fairly cheap and thin leather, which is surprising for something that's supposed to take a good amount of force in pulling boots on every day. I've come across a number of loose stitches as well. Overall construction is acceptable but I'd be pretty unhappy if I paid full price for it.That said, they're extremely comfortable and supportive with some added SuperFeet insoles, they seem to be holding up alright to daily use and abuse, I can stand in them for 16+ hours without pain toward the end of the day, and if I found a second pair for the same steeply discounted price I'd buy them again. I would absolutely NOT buy them at the retail price - if you want Danner quality and a solid boot that'll take a re-tread and proper maintenance for decades of use, save your pennies and buy the Ft. Lewis boots - at least they're still made in the USA.

Great boot so far. Fit was stiff at first but has worn in nicely after a month of wear

This is my second pair of Danners. I still have and wear my first pair, but I had to retire my swats. I like to wear a pair of boots every other day to let the other pair air out. Danner boots are far more comfortable than any boot I have worn. The price is a little higher than the boots you might find at your local sporting goods store, but it is worth it. The quality is very good. They leather does not give out and stop supporting your ankles. The leather does not scuff easily. I wear my boots 10 to 12 hours a day and my feet feel great. The support inside the shoe has still not worn out from my first pair and they are years old. The outside sole has not worn down either. Unfortunitely my uniform store does not carry Danners, so I must seek somewhere else and use my own funds. Thankfully Amazon has great prices and service!
