Danner Desert Acadia
I wore them all day today (well, not to church) and I have to say this:
Why the hell would anyone ever want to wear anything else?
I’m gonna try to get some work boots/shoes like this to wear.
I was concerned with the snugness, but in fact, they gave me support I didn’t expect- in fact, I think the wider shoes were actually causing me trouble, by allowing the bones of my foot to splay out. My feet feel wonderful.
The garden wasn’t exactly muddy, but the clay tended to get stuck in the cleats. So I’m going to be buying myself a pair of these.

Danner made great boots. Then they got crappy for awhile. Now they seem to be back making great boots. The Desert Acadia is a full boot. I got the Danner 453 GTX which is more of shoe and it is fantastic; I wear it almost all the time. The steel toe is great, especially for resting heavy objects on. The shoe is really comfortable.
