I have been wearing Danner Acadia boots with steel toe (now non-metallic safety toe) for about 16 years. I use them for work (construction and office), hunting, and just when I want to comfortable set of boots on my feet.
Never tried the recrafting service. Most of my pairs seem too far gone for any help. I do have one older set that is going in for a test of that offer though. I ordered a new set from Amazon this weekend and was happy to see they arrived a day early this afternoon. I opened the box and noticed that there were creases in above the heal, wrinkles around the eyelets, and the tongue of the boot was rather wrinkled. The laces were also missing the gore tex tab. Not that I care much about it but hey that's supposed to be there. These should be new and these boots have been worn. Now, I am rarely picky in life, but I paid darn $389 for these and I feel okay expecting new freaking boots. The soles are not really scuffed or worn. It looks like someone got the set and wore them around the house for a couple of weeks and returned them. I want to break these in on my feet. Pics to follow. I have already sent in for a return and will buy direct from Danner as they are the same price.  Attached File Attached File |

Why would you buy Danners on amazon? There’s about 100 reputable places that sell them online.
And those have been worn, badly. The tongues on them are smooth as can be when new, those have been halfway broken in and returned. Probably return fraud actually. |

I'm wondering if those were last used in amazon wardrobe. They ship you up to 8 options for you to try and then you send back what you don't want. You only pay for what you keep.
Of course, you aren't supposed to wear them around-only trying on. |

If you read reviews of products you are interested in on Amazon, it is not uncommon to see such complaints.
My family and I have received questionable items too. |

Like Sierra5 said, the tongues are smooth as can be on a new set. I was looking forward to setting them just right so they bunch up how I want them to and looks like somebody already did that.

Amazon is pretty terrible about taking returns that have obviously been used and putting them back in inventory as “new.” Shit happens. Thankfully their return process is pretty effortless (as in you don’t have to fight for it, they even been known to just tell you to keep the product and still refund your money).

So return the fuckers, I do see the issue.
They will send you a label to ship them. That's what is great about Amazon, the slightest issue and they will take them back and pay shipping. |

I'll second the suspicion of return fraud. The average return order processing peon probably won't be able to tell the difference or care enough to look closely.

Danner takes a pair of boots off the line every so often and runs them on the dyno for a couple hours. Completely normal.

Amazon keeps shipping used returns and counterfeits until they find people who will keep them. They mix items from 3rd party sellers in crates so you never know where stuff comes from.
I went from a very frequent Amazon shopper to one who uses them *only* as an absolute last resort. |

Last thing I bought from Amazon was used and broken. I said enough is enough and stopped buying from them. Going on 3 years now.

It's becoming more common over time for used items to be shipped out from Amazon (and other retailers) when a new item was ordered. I've experienced this a lot more myself, over the last few years.
As mentioned, used items are sometimes shipped back and sent out as new. Retailers seem to be getting worse about checking for this, before sending an item out. Hell, I've had quite a number of items shipped in used boxes, that were beat to absolute shit from Amazon over the last year or so. To the point where they were literally scraps, that were tapped together in some cases. I know they're busy, but that's a bit much. One of them was literally made from tape on one side. If it was once or twice, it could be discounted as the carrier doing this, due to shipping damage, but it's happening far too regularly, over many carriers. Boxes were very obviously shipped out used. Also as mentioned, Amazon has a program now (Amazon Wardrobe) where you're shipped multiples of a clothing item to try out, and you only pay for the ones you keep. All of those (now used) items that were tried out have to go somewhere. They shouldn't be sent out as new after that point, but we know how that goes.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Worth every dime Lasted just over a year of light use and the stitching on the upper has vanished. Thought I was getting a great boot at a great price, ~$140. Not so much, which is why the warranty is less than on their other boots. |

since we are talking amazon bs, i had a weird one after Christmas, we bought the kid one of those fire boxes... well mom ordered the small one... we wanted to trade up to the size he wanted.....
where it got weird is I am used too a no hassle return with them sending a shipping label to print and we send it back easy peasy....On this deal we had to ask twice for a return, it took two weeks for the seller to Authorize a return and we paid shipping , the fuck? so apparently more and more slimy sellers are getting in the system. |

Speak more of this. My Danners are due to be re-soled, but the places around here are just ok. |
