Is it just me, or do the Pronghorn's wear a lot on the front of the boot? I oil them atleast every 3 or 4 times I wear them and they seem to really be taking a beating. I'm worried the toe will be wore off by the end of the season if I don't keep oiling them.

I wore mine a couple of times and the toe seemed to wear a lot too. I'm going to oil the boots good and I hope that the leather doesn't start to crack and the seems start to open up.

Stop walking on your tippy toes Dan 
Those boots will be fine. They do show signs of wear in the toes but you will not wear off the toe any time soon.

Good to hear. Mine showed more wear than I had expected after one grouse trip, but they seem fine other than that.

Yeah the toe seems to dry out and show wear, but it has never effected the durability on either of my pair. I dress them at the begining of the year and put them to test. So far so good. 
 FIFE maybe your not flushing the birds correctly????

I have plenty of problems putting pheasants on the table without any problems from my boots. I was just a little taken back by the wear because I had another pair of boots for 6 years that didn't show much wear until the end.
Don't get me wrong, I like my Danner's. Just wanted to make sure I didn't have a pair of lemons.

I am about 99% sure my Danner Pronghorn's are leaking. I have had the boots for a year, so should I be able to return them or atleast get them repaired? It frustrating because I had a pair a boots for 6 years and never had wet feet and now I spend the extra money and they are getting wet. I guess I just blamed it on my feet sweating but the last few times it has been cold and my feet are still getting wet and very cold.

What kind of socks are you wearing? I know that makes a huge difference.
I would give Danner a ring or e-mail, that why you can wear them the rest of the year and then send your boots to them after the season. I just saw that my seams are ripping out so mine are going to get sent in sometime after my hunting season ends.

I wear a light weight wool sock. I'm gonna put the boots on and stand in the bathtub and see if I get wet feet.

Danner has great customer service. It's a great boot too. Go to your local PD or sheriff's office and look whats on 90 percent of their feet.
