Shame about Danner for you! I have never had to replace mine, just the soles and normal upkeep, they're made like tanks (I have a pair of Mountain Lights that I've owned for about 15 years and Wolk Creek Chukkas for about 7). Maybe their quality has dropped?

I think there's likely a big difference between their premium lines and other lines. I have some Mountain Lights that are doing ok for hiking after a few years, although I've found Zamberlan to be superior. But for Danner's less premium lines, I've been really disappointed. A pair of Bull Run workboots only lasted a couple of months. I demolished a pair of Pub Garden boots in one day laying down some simple stepping stones in the yard. And I had a pair of Vertigo hiking boots that were totally unstable on slightly rough terrain and twisted my ankle. So I'm done with Danner, sorry to say.
