The "360*" feature is for pivoting on the balls of your feet while shooting. We were issued these in iraq, they are awesome. Most boots grind on the cement when you pivot while shooting. These were specifically designed for pivoting while shooting.
I am breaking in a pair right now.....finally took them out of the box last week....bought them a year ago....... very comfortable.... I finally wore out my 1960's issue(resoled 3 times)..... and you are correct about the width..... I wear 13w and also I have problems with arches.... these are very comfortable
I agree! I tried to state it clearly, but in case I did not, these boots fit true to size! And they look good :)
Any idea how these RATs size up compared to Belleville?
I like the drain holes for tactical water crossings, plus good for cooling off the dogs on a route step hump/puddle jumps. 1/1 FMF, FTS! ✌️
Right on, World Weary!
FFS you American troops,soldiers, Marines are so lucky man you actually get looked after!man your footwear is the best😊
Excellent boot for bushcraft in forests. Basic tromping off trail. Keep em waxed in wet. They will last long time on bushcraft feet. They do stay dry in streams and wet forest under reasonable conditions.
Thanks will do, OWL!
I went these boots daily for forestry work. Extremely hard on boots. They are not Italian mountaineering boots. They won't last you 20 years. The soles by design are soft and will wear in a year of daily wear. The stitching on the sidewalls of boot will wear quickly in abrasive activity. USMC reports many early stitching failures in combat environments. I have redone my wall stitching twice in 6 months on both boots. I do winter ponderosa forest removals in deep snow with these boots. If you keep moving the feet will be warm but when you stop have a plan. They are not daily snow boots. But they stay relatively dry if you keep them waxed. Goretex is a blessing and a curse. I'd rather have a full leather with synthetic liner and light insulation with awesome wool socks. Not PTFE membrane, real boots need to breathe. I wear a poly liner and thick wool sock daily. Proper socks is most of the boot experience. GBA 🦅
Danner has a set of Marine Expeditionary Boots that I want to get my feet in. We don't get much snow at all here, so I think they'd fit the bill for me. You are getting the work done! Twice stitching in 6 months on both boots!
Nice looking boots all right. I think the boots are breaking your feet in rather than the other way around. Made in USA? Barge cement would do a good job gluing those soles back on your old comfy boots. I like the Bellevilles. I know they're made here.
Yes sir, made in the USA and Berry Compliant. I think they are being phased out and replaced with expeditionary boots. I'll be ordering the Barge Cement and some new soles soon to repair those old boots. I DO love my Bellevilles!
I have a pair and love them. My 2nd pair of Danner boots along with the Mountain 600. Excellent boots!
The more I wear my Danner boots the more I love them.
Been wearing these for a year straight. Honestly I don’t like them a whole lot besides them being relatively comfortable. Real heavy for rucks, and the material is so thick your feet get hot fast. There’s better danners than the RATs. I personally prefer the Danners Tropical Coyote Hot Boot. Great review nonetheless.
Those are awesome! You got a great deal, too!
These were made for my feet and that price makes it all the more sweeter of a deal!
Someone gave me a pair of Zamberlan boots for free a couple of years ago, because they were too big for that guy. They fit me perfectly and I had never heard of that brand but when I saw they had Vibram soles and a Goretex inner, I figured they must be decent. I never had to break them in, they were comfortable from day one. I got curious and looked them up on Google and the price they were going for was $375, I couldn't believe it lol, I got them for free. Two years later and they're still in perfect condition. I would highly recommend a pair to anyone. Anyways, those RAT boots look awesome, I need a good hot weather boot, I was looking at the Salomon boot models, but these look great, especially if they are a decent price.
I've never had a pair of Zamberlan, but, I've heard they are good to go! If you can find the RAT boots (especially at or below 100$) I highly recommend them! Is there a particular model of Salomon that has caught your eye?
I had a pair of zamberlan baffin, they were great and super grippy but the soles wore out very fast, I was like this would be good if I was rich
I had some USMC Bates and I loved em
I like the vintage ww1 look of the rat
Looks like a trench boot I may have some RATS in my future
My Bates are solid boots! Dad prefers his Belleville's over any other, but we both do love the Danner RATS.
My issue with these is that walking on a tile floor while your shoes are wet is like ice skating on roller skates I know that's very specific but alot of barracks have tile flooring and there are many reasons your shoes may get wet
Also I spent a majority of my childhood and teens barefooted so I have very wide feet... but my feet are also not that long so they do close in on my toes but it's not that bad
I know exactly what you are talking about. It's hydroplaning in boots.
Just like some of the other comments I've got some on the way right now
That's fantastic news!
These are sweet boots ive had a pair for a year and they are still going good so far. Hiwever i still prefere the old style of jungle boot by wellco, and they are only 40 bucks lol
Wellco's are good boots!
How do these fit compared to a Belleville
Pretty much the exact same. I do have to tip the needle on the comfort scale over to the Belleville's.
Can you take a tips about a sizing? How they fit compared to belleville or sport shoes(adidas/nike)?
Do you normally wear just a 12, i was gifted these. I normally wear a 12 but these feel like perhaps they could be to cramped in the toe, feel big toe has not much space its no "really" hitting the end, maybe ide get used to the, they are 12 R. Was told i have a narrow foot but maybe a 12 W instead of 12.5 R. I dont know, any hunches, i think i like ny boots to fit lik you in the toebox
Great review. Love hearing about the stitching.
I've been wearing Danners for the past two years, and I'll never go to anything else, I wear the Reckoning Coyote Dry boots.
I want a pair of the Reckonings!
@@robertsbushcraft Go for it! You won't regret it!
I wear a 12 on regular shoes so when getting these should i go to size 11 or should be ok at 12 ?
Yes
I wish they hadn't discontinued them I would have bought a pair of 8 1/2 regular
Some priced on E-bay around $100 bucks new.
Well worth the price in my opinion!
I have worn these type of boots for last 4 years if I see them on sale in my size I buy them
Good luck trying to get danner to repair your boots. A disappointment of a company.
I got a pair of new Wellco RAT boots for 50$ on Ebay. They are not the same as Danner and basically knockoffs. I guess Wellco fraudulently had them made in China and tagged them USA . I hate my Wellco RATs . They hurt my feet and feel like beefed up house slipper.
Oh no! I always wondered if there were major differences between Wellco and Danner. Sadly, I guess you have answered that question for me.
How does that rat boot compare to reckonings
I don't have a pair of the Reckonings, but they are on my list of boots to get!
Im active duty and wore the reckonings through a month of training including rucking and such stuff. The Reckonings are a comfortable, lightweight, breathable boot that handles everything very well. Only downside vs the RAT is durability and hiking support.
@@darrengarcia4937 Appreciate it brother
Great boots. Could you tell where I can get the same ones now in size 9?
Check Army Navy Outdoors and see if they have them: bit.ly/3P8PGFg
@@robertsbushcraft Nah, my size is out of stock. I also peeked through Ebay, no results.
@@robertsbushcraft Could you suggest any other options?
I got a pair of those same Belleville USMC boots and they are 13 years old, I resoled them once! Still holding up!!
I barely bought the rats boots too!
We have Belleville, Danner, and a pair or two of Bates and we love 'em all!
How are the sizes compared to a Belleville, I have the 340DES Belleville but want a rat boot too. Thanks
@@OverlandTT well with any boots since they run bigger, you always gotta go a size smaller.. for example I wear a size 10/43 in shoes, in boots I wear a size 9/42
1 own 6 pairs and bought a pair for my son.
Dad just got a set of Gore-Tex models. I need a set!
Had em for a year now great boots still comfortable
Dad got a Gore-Tex set for Christmas and I can see that these are going to become our go-to boots.
Does wet grass soak your feet with the hot version with those holes?
No, at least not yet. I've walked the same distance wearing these boots across tall and wet grass as I have my Belleville 550's (toes would get wet) without issue in these boots. The pvc coated leather on the toe really keeps that down to a minimum.
@@robertsbushcraft Thanks for the reply, some reason my UA-cam never notified me of the reply till today & I already purchased both. I'm glad I did anyway. Actually, I'm sad there discontinuing these well made boots for cheap crap glued together crap like you see at Walmart. I'll never buy those glued on soles. After these are worn I'll be switching to something with a sewn sole. I can not imagine why crybabies are claiming these are heavy as they are not heavy at all compared to many boots. They are average weight for a boot. Are they light as a pair of Nike tennis shoes? No, & I'm glad causa you can't make boots that light and this durable. Boots gotta be durable. Sorry to see Danner trying to go that route with these boots. They should continue the rat for a couple more years and watch the dummies switch back after the others start to fail.
🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷👏👏
USA, baby!
amazing brather
Thanks, laut!
I wore out a pair of the Gore Tex Rats, and just became aware of their resole program, so I will be sending them in. In the meantime, I'm breaking in a pair of hot weather rats just now
Dan, did you get the same size in the hot weather RATs as the Goretex RATs? Do you need to size down from the Goretex-lined boots?
Dad has the Gore-Tex and loves them, the hot weather boots are next on his list.
@@robertsbushcraft I'd love to know when he gets them if he had to go up a size or width due to the Goretex.
are these the brown or the mojave? im confused as to the difference between the both, they seem to be the same.
Yes
Are these the cold or hot weather version?
These are for hot weather.
Where get size 8 😊?

Danner is king
Right on! That said, I do love my Belleville 590's!
Like the Altichron
It's one of my favorite watches.
I picked up a pair of Rats this last year and they are legit! 🤙
LEGIT indeed! The moment I put my feet inside of these boots I knew that the bootmaker had feet just like mine. Perfect fit!
That middle grommet is the heel lock, try it without the lace through that hole boots are way more comfortable, and easier to put on and off...yep
Hey thanks for that tip, Jake!
Investigating getting a new pair of boots and found this video. Had to watch. Lol I've been wearing a pair almost daily for around 4 years. No issues with anything. Only a small stain on the leather just behind my left big toe because I ride motorcycle. The abrasion panels may have a few scratches but they do an excellent job protecting the rest of the boot. No failures in construction or materials anywhere. Only reason I'm considering buying another pair of boots is boredom after 4 years. They just won't die. Truthfully they are the best boots I've ever owned.
This may very well be in the top 5 best comments on the channel this year! I sure do love these boots!
@@robertsbushcraft I bought a second pair after watching the video. Went on ebay and got a brand new pair for $90 shipped. Still looking for something new but got a backup just in case. Lol
