danner canadians are hardly a "hiking boot". you might as well buy some "trail running shoes" and buy some wool and goretex sox and save 250 bucks or more.

Excellent ankle support, will accept crampons, light enough to hike the lower slopes too. Waterproof to the top of the boot. The boot that a few Alaskan Sheep guides use.
I have a pair of Danners too. They are more suited to the forested area as they lack the ankle support for the more extreme slopes, but are warm enough to use ice-fishing. They are fitted with gortex and thinsulate and are pretty impervious to moisture and cold.

How to the Hanwag's fit compare to Meindle's? I've tried their Canada Pro's on and they are a bit too wide for my feet.

I had bought a pair of meindl canada pro's 2 years ago. They lasted one hunt and started to come apart and loose shape. Absolutely Pi$sed me off for that kind of money. No warranty given so sold them at a loss. Bought the Hanwag Trappers but they fit really big in the heel area. Awesome boots but couldn't make them work. Returned them and bought the Lowa Sheep Hunters and they are the best boots I have owned.
Listen to the other guys and layer up on socks instead of a heavy insulated boot.
Good luck

I know everyone bitches about Meindls but after blowing out 2 pairs of Danner Rainforests I bought a pair of Meindls from Fischers and have worn them this season.They are the best supporting boots Ive worn and that includes Vibergs.As this is only theyre first season I hope they last.I wish I could get apair with caulks for work.
