Danner Men’s Vicious 4.5” Plain Toe Work Boot

top toe

Breaking in leaves sores on top of toes
I actually liked the “field ranger” more as they are much more comfortable with an aftermarket insert,

These are too hot and don’t let your feet breathe and hurt the top of my toes while they’re breaking in.

pain

waterproof boot

I replace them every 12 months, over time the water proofing let's a little water inside the boot when standing in 3-4 inches of water.

toe shoe-box

However, synthetic material around the toe box is showing significant wear and I’m expecting I’ll need a new pair in another year.

strap

If I must find an "issue" with them, then it is the fact that they do tend to untie relatively easily.

danner

This is my 3rd pair of Danner Viscous work boots.

Other than that, I can find no issues with these at all and intend to buy another pair of Danner Vicous workboots soon.

work boot

Great work boots
One of the best pairs of boots I have purchased.

Even the insole has provided a very nice level of arch support, something else I am not used to in the work boots I have owned in the past.

This is a great pair of work boots, period.

Brilliant Boot w/Aftermarket Insole
Use: I'm a construction project manager working on small, residential remodels.

but boots that provide minimal protection while looking like a boot and are cushy soft all day.

Review: 4.5" Vicious is the perfect boot for my application.

This boot is extremely comfortable and has enough protection to meet my needs.

I can say confidently the Vicious is the most comfortable boot I’ve put on and I have no intention of switching out when this boot dies on me.

Overall: Best sub-$200 boot as long as you budget in a replacement at the 2-year mark.

After the break-in period (took about a month of alternating wear), these have worked better than any pair of safety boots I have owned in the last 20 years.

wear

The soft midsole and Vibram outer soles are like wearing sneakers, and very durable soles.


I can wear these boots all day and my feet are happy!

They do seem to improve with wearing and the traction is outstanding.


I would buy 10 pair tomorrow if I found out they were being discontinued.In my 26 years of construction these are the greatest boots I’ve ever worn.


Great fitting boots Can leave on through airport security screening Wearing in -25 working in Canada’s arctic Love the vibram sole

The tread wears well and has maintained good traction throughout.

Unlike many where it feels good the first time you put them on and then the support seems to disappear when you wear them, these seem to maintain a very consistent level of support over time/usage.

purchase

Break-in time was minimal and it has still held its shape and form almost a year after purchase with no signs of significant structural degradation.
