Danner Women's Trail 2650 3" Hiking Shoe

had to return/exchange

but because I purchased through Amazon, they can not exchange or refund.

the return window is closed and I found no way to initiate communication with you about this (other than this review!).

Unfortunately cant return as shoe is now dirty.

small-size

I would also say that if you are closer to a 9 1/2 you will find this shoe a little on the small side.

These shoes fit snug when I first put them on, and I was worried I went to small.

slippery

My unfortunate problem is that I had the same problem I have had with all hiking shoes: my heal  slid causing instant hotspot and without moleskin would have been huge blisters;but I think this is an issue of my foot and not the shoe!

return/exchange window

replacement

I’m tempted to try a replacement pair because I really want to like these,

danner

I am a huge fan of Danner work boots as I have a wide foot and narrow heal and they have always worked for me and last forever.

Because the work boots fit my foot so well, I turned to Danner for a light weight hiking shoe and was excited when I recieved these.

hiking shoe


Purchased these hiking shoes in April 2021, and have enjoyed them during spring and summer walks.

Crazy comfortable
First time to try Danners, and among the four different hiking shoe candidates I ordered to try on and compare, this one is heads above the others in cushion and overall comfort.

Awesome Hiking Shoes
Right out of the box the Danner's were crazy comfortable.

Very happy with the purchase and I would and HAVE recom(m)end/ed these hiking shoes to friends.

hiking

These shoes are holding up super well to the wet, rocky, dusty conditions that they’re regularly in (running shoes do not) and I appreciate that they’re less aggressive looking than hiking boots so when I’m meeting non farmers I don’t look ready to Sherpa them up Kilimanjaro.

They also felt stable for a shoe that’s basically a hiking sneaker.

I went on a 9 mi hike and only had problems with my heal.

but more than that, they support my high arches, never gave me a blister and I wear them to do everything, hiking (even through streams), trail running, disc golfing, camping, etc.

Just like my hiking boots, these shoes stretch to fit me perfectly.

These shoes are perfect for hiking and gravel road waking.

comfortable

But they feel fabulous -- great fit, cushion under the ball of my foot, snug heel box with no rubbing -- couldn't be happier.

I want to give these 5 stars because they are really comfortable (perfect for wide feet) and have a great grip on rocky terrain.

Were comfortable the minute i put them on, felt better than my Merrills and are wellmade.

Very nice
All right, I'm usually size 8, I would have bought 8.5 to be more comfortable,

I have been on three long walks/hikes with them so far and my feet feel no pain or discomfort.

I almost want to say that I can't tell I have them on (that's how comfy they are).

boot

More durable than a running shoe and more subtle than a hiking boot
I have a farm and am constantly going from meeting to field to customer service to greenhouse.

Merrell Men's Catalyst Suede Sneaker

uncomfortable

But~~~
The height of the instep was made too low, which made it unfashionable and uncomfortable to look at.

Stiff
I’ve owned many pairs of merrell shoes and these are among the most uncomfortable.

strap

My only two complaint were the lack of insole padding which I replaced after the first hike and the over all length of the shoe strings.

My only complaint is that the laces are exceedingly long to where with a regular knot the laces almost touch the ground on each side.

If I had one complaint, the shoelaces are way too long.

stiff

sole support

sole

Good quality for the price
I've always been a Danner or Keen guy, I recently gave Merrell a try and I have to say, I'm very impressed.

Overall great entry level hiking shoe
Merrell has been producing great shoes for over a decade.

however are a solid entry level hiking shoe.

I would highly recommend these shoes to anyone that wants a comfortable lightweight trail shoe.

Well made, stylish and very comfortable shoes
These shoes look so cool.

They are so comfortable, I can wear them all day and they feel so good on my feet the whole time.

durable

wear

I now have 3 pairs I wear almost exclusively.

Danner mens Trail 2650 3"

Wears through pretty much the first day if you do any kneeling or scuffing.

I wore my last pair until they were ragged with holes and the soles were detaching.

but know that the toe cap is going to wear through almost immediately.

waterproof

but a bit pricey
A bit pricey for a shoe without water proof construction.

sole damage

expensive

but overall  the shoe seems to be very well made as all Danner shoes and boots are .

Reminds me of a trail running shoe for stiffness and weight and less like a hiking shoe with an pack.

Love them
We love these shoes for hiking.

Order one size larger than you normally wear
Very comfortable shoe

Finally a shoe that is well-made, sturdy, and comfortable.
