Not trying to convert. Just trying to put out updated information. Your old Danners are likely not the combat boots. Combat boots are anything but stiff. They are VERY gentle on the achilles heel and ankle bruising. I would consider it almost impossible to get a blister in them unless a person is very prone to blisters in shoes.

If you have the Mountain Lights, I can see your point and agree completely. I covered that in the review.
