I have bought a total of 6 pairs of Pronghorns (2) and Desert TFX (4) in my life and love every pair of them, I still have 5 pair of them.
My experiences of late with Danner only solidify my loyalty. I bought two pair of TFX to take with me to officer candidate school, one pair for some reason was real rough on my toes and the other was not. When I got home I wrote Danner a letter explaining as such, my positive history with thier TFX and sent the pair back to them. I had a brand new pair on my door steps in less than a week, the pair replaced had something wrong with it as the new pair is perfect as usual.
I recently took similar actions with my one pair of pronhorns I purchased in 2007 that had a toe cap coming unglued, had been that way almost from the beginning I just ignored it. They sent me a brand new pair of the upgraded model.
The boots work best for me and their customer service is top notch.
