I recently bought a pair of Danner Acadia boots for work, I have a very high arch and had to cut the tongue at the sides it is un-noticeable, these boots are rather spendy if you were to buy them direct, I am offerring them for shipping price only, size is 8 1/2 EE.. And yes they are Made in USA. Because of my high arches these boots are uncomfortable for myself, my loss will be somebody's gain. PM me if you want these.
