We’ve got some winter travel coming up over the next couple of months and it was time to get some new boots that weren’t heavy backpacking boots. I decided on the Danner Vertigo 917.

Danner is a great company that makes really nice stuff that’s highly functional and looks pretty good too. These boots will be the only shoes I bring with me. I bought them a half-size up to accommodate some thicker socks, but even with lighter weight socks, my feet stay put, which is nice. I’ll report back on how they work out.
