I've been a Danner guy for almost 30 years , loved them. Last year a got a new pair of Pronghorns and they rubbed my feet and caused a blister. I noticed on my other pairs that they added a seam in one of the panels. Then I saw the made in Vietnam tag. My other 4 pairs were made in China. I want to rely on Danner and I'm not quite giving up but ,be cautious. I went to Cabela's and tried on some others but I like the Danners best. Just can't rub me the wrong way.
