KZitem viewer, you’re in for something special.
Reader, you’re in for a treat. This is one of the most commonly asked questions in the world of boots: which is better, Red Wing or Danner?
The casual observer might see no difference, but you’re no casual observer - there’s actually a lot to talk about here.

- FIRST GLANCE -
Both boots are six inches high, made with oil tanned leather, and have a soft-ish wedge sole.
The big differences from the outset are the stitching - Danner has two rows of bright white stitching along the moc toe, even correcting for how much older my Red Wings are. The Danner also has a little American flag on the cuff, and overall it’s a less clean look.
Red Wing’s moc toe is also triple stitched along the vamp, which combined with the Goodyear welt (which Danner doesn’t have) gives it a more durable construction.
