Dan Post Milwaukee DP2111R Antique Tan Review

Must Have Monday!

During my travels south I got to visit a wonderful family friend we call Neighbor Mike who was rockin' a pair of Dan Post boots that were as sharp as his personality. In no time at all I had photos of the boots with their shiny silver Montana toe tips and had asked to check out his boot more thoroughly. He was amused and compliant. The leather on these boots is rich in quality and color consistent with what one might expect from a boot company practicing their craft since the early 60's. This particular pair called the Milwaukee DP2111R came out of the Clarksville, Tennessee facility and dazzled me with their Antique Tan color but of course I had to know if these boots were just “lookers” or if they actually have all day comfort. According to Neighbor Mike, “...they are sooo comfortable right out of the box” which echos the reviews other gents have given this boot on various websites. The Milwaukee boasts the “Dan Post Comfort Insole” that is cushioned and has a moisture-wicking cover to keep your feet cool. The boot is also lined with smooth leather that makes pulling them on easy. The leather would clearly soften and shape to your foot making these boots feel like old friends.

I also appreciate that Mike treated these boots with the added touch of silver toe tips that he procured from MontanaSilverSmiths.com to the tune of $30 and attached them himself. My admiration of his boots caused him to beam with the pride and a million dollar smile that matches the boots million dollar look. I could see in his eyes that he cherished his boots the way I cherish many of my shoes and that makes me feel all warm and fuzzy!

Fitting Notes:

U.S. Sizing. Neighbor Mike says they fit true but since we were guests at my Uncle's Chrismakah party I didn't get to explore their particular fit qualities the way I usually do with shoes that I review. This boots' shaft measures 13 inches and is offered in three widths equivalent to narrow, medium and wide increasing your odds of an excellent fit. Remember that when fitting boots you should expect the heel to slip some when they fit properly.
