I have purchased other brands in this type and class of boot and also own Danner Quarry steel toes that are great. I purchased the Bull Run Moc Toe in a non-safety toe for my everyday boots because I have been disappointed in the build quality and leather used in other brands. The fit of these was great since I could order them in widths other than medium which is important for me to get the right fit in a boot I will be wearing all day. The leather quality is above average and has been worth doing routine care and application of conditioner. I have been impressed with these except for a few design details. My observations are after about 1 1/2 years of use during evenings and weekends off for working outside in the yard and garage.

The leather quality is above average and has been worth doing routine care and application of conditioner. I have been impressed with these except for a few design details. My observations are after about 1 1/2 years of use during evenings and weekends off for working outside in the yard and garage. The thread used for the stitching could be a fiber blend that is more abrasion resistant. The amount of leather pulled up into the moc toe seam isn't very generous and leaves the stitching less protected from abrasion. I'm disappointed at the durability of the moc toe, and I don't use them with my toes on concrete all day. I have had other moc toe designs that were resoled multiple times without having to get the toe stitching repaired. I would say this issue puts the boot more into the casual boot class rather than the work boot class. It has been designed for appearance over durability. The overall quality of the stitching WORK is good and consistent. Other brands have disappointed me by stitching that ran wild and questionably close to the edge of the leather in areas. The soles are comfortable since they are a foam wedge sole. The outer surface of the sole is somewhat tougher and resists wear a little longer before starting to wear through quickly like typical foam wedge soles. Most foam wedge soles are soft and comfy, but also wear pretty fast from the first day. I was disappointed in the plastic cup used to reinforce the heel counter. They have become cracked in mine. I unlace the boots every time I take them off and on, but I shouldn't have to open the laces all the way to the toe and use a shoehorn to avoid damaging the heel counter. That's why there are lace hooks at the top instead of eyelets. I selected these because they didn't have stitching down the heel counter to irritate my heel and that has been excellent. Maybe another piece of leather could reinforce the heel counter or just leave out the plastic. I have loved wearing these, but I'm questioning resoling them or purchasing new ones because of the design issues.

I am on my 3 rd pair of Bull Run Moc Toe boots by Danner. I have had countless other brands before Danner. I must admit back in the 1980’s I could buy a pair of similar boots for way under $100. All the brands have gone up in price. I like the fact that Danner makes a lot of their boots here in the USA. The fit is comfortable. They are not waterproof. You can make them water resistant with Danners waterproofing products. They will never be 100% waterproof though. The plusses are the flat vibram soles have cushion. They don’t track mud in the house. They will wear a little more quickly than other soles. They are well made. Another pluss is that Danner will completely rebuild your boot as long as the leather is salvageable.

I ordered two pair of bull run moc toe boots in two different colors. I liked the appearance of both and had a hard time deciding which color was right for me. What made my decision more difficult with the inconsistencies in the boots. The color I like the least fit my foot much better, but was clearly made of much thinner leather. The boot I liked the most was a much bigger boot, even though it was the same size. The boot was 1/4 wider overall, much roomier inside (too big), but was clearly made of better, thicker leather. I understand the idea of “handmade boots” but with they were more consistent.

I’m slowly losing my confidence in danner. I’ve owned 4 pairs of bull run mock toe. Ever pair seems to be getting worse. First pair were great 2nd the sole wore away very fast and stitching tore. 3rd and 4th pairs the soles cracked at the tread patters and one separated from the seem at the sole. These boots were all under a year old! It cost just as much to resold these as a new pair. The vicious boots were comfortable as well but hold moisture stay wet and smell horrible. Those boots are only 4 months old!!!!
Ok this might but kinda long i don't think anyone knows what true to size means, on The brannock device im a 10.5 on the dot with narrow feet and but my redwings, nikes, Converse and basically all shoes im a 9 and my pf flyers im a 10 but i like a tighter fitting shoe maybe like 1/4 of freespace with normal cotton socks and these fit just like how i wanted them and i kinda took the chance with this size because i had an 8.5 with the danner rats and they were just slightly to short. As for the boot the leather is thinner and the sole is not a vibram sole it seems to be an eva sole covered in rubber like a sneaker would which is honestly is perfect because the jobsite im on right now is a lot of walking im clocking in daily about 7miles on my apple watch and the gc ... MoreOk this might but kinda long i don't think anyone knows what true to size means, on The brannock device im a 10.5 on the dot with narrow feet and but my redwings, nikes, Converse and basically all shoes im a 9 and my pf flyers im a 10 but i like a tighter fitting shoe maybe like 1/4 of freespace with normal cotton socks and these fit just like how i wanted them and i kinda took the chance with this size because i had an 8.5 with the danner rats and they were just slightly to short.

I guess bottom line if you want heavy duty boots these are not it but for looking good and moving around alot or just not really caring if they will last because its a great price for a boot thats made in the states good for it. ps i know there is shims in the boot to give arch support which i think its neat because boots with heels do that but people complaining about it comming out of the soft outsole over time, just get pliers and pull that baby out you dont need it alot of moc toe boots dont even have is (thats what im gonna do if it happens )
Overall quality of construction of the boot is good. Stitching is tight, attachment of upper to soles appears sturdy and craftmanship and appearance of the boot is nice. Biggest complaints are that the amount of leather used to construct the tongue of the boot is too narrow. height of the boot is too short and when laced the area between the eyelets is too wide. It feels to me that the amount of leather used to construct the boot was insufficient. I purchased the boots based on an on-line review and was impressed with the fact that these were less expensive than other boots made in the USA, I guess by decreasing the amount of leather used to construct the boot makes them less expensive to manufacture. I try to by American made but I don't think I will be purchasing ... MoreOverall quality of construction of the boot is good.

Owned these for a month and a half. First the fit. Initially they were rather tight in the vamp and instep. I usually wear superfeet green insoles in all my boots but had to use the superfeet carbons instead just due to the top of foot tighteness. After 2 weeks of wear at work they finally broke in enough that I could switch to my usual insoles. Comfort is pretty good. Use your own insoles if you have picky feet as there is basically no arch support. With my insoles I had no impact related pain nor plantar fasciitis pain. My biggest gripe however is the quality of the leather. I use these as work boots which is how they are marketed, I work distribution in a post office. Biggest issue is the leather is too soft for harsh environments. After 1.5 months I have gouges ... MoreOwned these for a month and a half. First the fit.

Biggest issue is the leather is too soft for harsh environments. After 1.5 months I have gouges and cracks. I expect the same would occur in mechanic and construction trades. I bought these hoping to have them resoled once I wore them down but at the current rate they are going the leather will be shot before the soles are. Please Danner, get some tougher leather. I love the look, I got the fit dialed in, but the durability is lacking.TLDR: Looks great, tight instep and vamp, leather too soft to hold up to hard use. Pretty boots, not work boots for hard use.
The shoes look great and treatment is awesome, but I was disappointed in the consistency and comfort. First off, the shoes are not very comfortable. It does not offer much in the arch support department. I could not see myself wearing these all day and be on my feet. The boots are beautiful, except there was a significant difference in material of the tongue. The right shoe has thick stiff leather material the left shoe tongue material was much thinner and flimsy. I assumed this was manufacturing error and I was going to exchange, but I couldn’t be bothered shipping them back and wait another couple weeks. Ultimately, the issue didn’t bother me enough to exchange the boots, but it did make me think differently about the overall craftsmanship of Danner boots. ... MoreThe shoes look great and treatment is awesome, but I was disappointed in the consistency and comfort.

Overall, I think these boots are chic, but I would consider going elsewhere.
This is my third pair of Danners and I absolutely love the boot besides one major flaw. I ordered my first pair as a width size (D) “narrow” size 11 and they were way too small. No big deal, I’ll just get another pair wider and bigger, right? Well after getting this pair at size 11.5 and width (EE) “wide” the sole is the exact same width. I placed the width (D) on top of the width (EE) and they’re exactly the same. Obviously the length is a half inch longer but why isn’t the shoe wider also..? Really wish I wouldn’t have ordered another pair but I was under the impression the sole would be wider.
Firstly, these are nicely made boots. The fit and finish and stitching is very well done. My issue is with an untreated seam inside the boot near the base of the tongue where there’s a small flap of fabric, about 1/4”. To lay flat that flap must point up toward the opening of the boot (where your foot enters the boot) But, when I slide my foot into the boot that small flap folds over and points toward the toe. It doesn’t sound like much but it’s incredibly uncomfortable. To fold the flap back to lay flat I have to squeeze my finger down into the boot. Once the flap is flipped over it lays flat and it’s fine. I feel this is a bit too inconvenient to have to do every time I want to don my boots. This seems to me to be a significant design flaw for which there’s really ... MoreFirstly, these are nicely made boots. The fit and finish and stitching is very well done.
