Danner Steadfast review

I squeezed 8 yrs service out of my old Pinnacle boots (should've quit at 6 really) and started shopping for replacements.

I liked the look and the sales pitch on the 17" Danner Steadfast Snake Boot, but couldn't find a review anywhere (guess I'm the first idiot  to buy a pair  ;)) so I took a chance and ordered them from Cabelas mid-February.

Got an E-mail saying "back-ordered, estimated ship date 2 weeks". No big deal, season doesn't open 'til April 18th.

2 weeks later another E-mail. "Back-ordered, estimated ship date 4/17"  :help:

My wife started digging around the web and found them in stock at Tactical Gear.com (She's a KEEPER  :z-flirtysmile3:). $199.95, free shipping.

I'm posting this as a "first impressions" review, to whom it may concern.

I will admit, looks factored into my decision. and they are a good looking boot. This pair was true to size (my main concern).

They are very stiff, expected in a snake boot, but loosened up fairly quickly after a few break in sessions around the house/yard.

While they are 17", they would only be waterproof to about 11", the height of the gusset.

I gave them their first woods test today while scouting. They passed the creek test a few times, definately waterproof. I've owned Lacrosse rubber, Rocky lace-ups and Pinnacle zip-ups. These are as comfortable as any of those, and I expect that to only get better.

I will try to remember to post an "after season" review...well...after the season  :goofball:
