Explore Beyond the Familiar

Inspired by decades of legendary hiking boots, we partnered with Vibram to forge a new path in hiking footwear for men and women. The Mountain 600 defines a new category in hiking boots we call Performance Heritage — combining our classic styling with lightweight innovation. Explore beyond the familiar.

Vibram SPE Midsole

The Danner Mountain 600 features the Vibram SPE (Specialized Performance Elastomer) midsole, an all-new, technical compound engineered to deliver greater comfort and flexibility. Created with a unique co-polymer blend of synthetic natural rubber and EVA, this midsole improves resiliency, cushioning, and durability, while minimizing weight.

Vibram Fuga Outsole with MegaGrip

By combining the SPE midsole with the Vibram Fuga outsole, we were able to achieve the perfect balance between flexibility and traction. The pliable SPE midsole and flex lines of the Fuga outsole allow your foot to expand to a wider surface, while the unique self-adaptive lug pattern grips at multiple angles. This combination provides ultimate stability when traversing across rocky trails or scree. The entire outsole is injected with Vibram’s Megagrip rubber technology for ultimate hold on wet and dry terrain.

Waterproof Protection

Drawing from years spent building durable leather hiking boots, we selected a specific suede for the Mountain 600, knowing that its lighter weight, waterproof and superior abrasion-resistant qualities would hold up to the rugged Pacific Northwest. We designed the boot to have minimal seams and lined it with Danner Dry to ensure it could withstand the wettest conditions.

CAPABLE FOR WHATEVER YOUR WEEK HOLDS

Looking to the archives of the '80s and '90s, we merged the style of two of our most popular hike and work boots to create the Skyridge - an extremely capable, daily wear boot. We updated a retro pattern with strategically placed leather in the upper for a more modern touch and increased durability. Then we infused the midsole and outsole with a longer-lasting rubber to allow for off-pavement exploration. This ultimately leads to the design of a clean, modern boot that is light enough for daily use, but rugged enough for adventure whenever the moment strikes.

CROSS-FUNCTIONAL COMFORT

The Skyridge uses an exclusive outsole with multi-directional lugs to give you secure grip on whatever terrain your day brings. Made from durable rubber, it’ll last for many miles of pavement and trail. We paired the outsole with an EVA midsole to provide just the right mix of cushioning and energy rebound. With the addition of a removable Ortholite footbed, the Skyridge will be your new go-to for a comfortably capable boot morning after morning, weekday and weekend.

REINTRODUCING AN '80S DANNER ORIGINAL

The original Danner Jag debuted in the 1980s as a lightweight alternative to our classic, heavy-duty hiking boots. After a few years on the trail supporting external frame backpacks and complementing denim cut-offs, the Jag was retired. Now 30 years later, we’ve reintroduced the Jag as a more versatile version of its former self. It’s comfortable both on the trail and around town and incorporates durable, lightweight materials, a cushioning EVA midsole, and a new waffle outsole that adapts to a wide variety of terrain. We’re proud to reintroduce this Danner original.

RETRO STYLE AND MODERN PERFORMANCE FOR DAILY COMFORT

To ensure the Jag is comfortable in any situation, we approached its development with a focus on lightweight versatility. Starting at the core of the boot, we developed a new last that offers more room in the toe box and gives the boot an overall more comfortable and casual fit. An EVA midsole and low-lugged waffle outsole keep the boot light, while a removable OrthoLite footbed adds cushioning underfoot. All told, you get a vintage style boot that fits more like a modern sneaker to keep you light on your feet and ready for what the day holds.

COME RAIN OR SHINE

Wet feet quickly sap the fun from any day. That’s why we built the Jag Mid with our signature Danner Dry 100% waterproof membrane and the Jag Low with a breathable mesh lining. Keep the moisture out with Danner Dry when the skies open up, and let heat quickly escape from the breathable mesh lining when the weather turns and temperatures rise. So no matter where you roam, rain or shine, your feet will be comfortable with the Jag.

SAME GREAT BOOT, JUST 30 YEARS BETTER.

When we decided to bring the Jag back, we saw it as an opportunity to keep all the greatness of the original but refine it with 30 years worth of advancement and hard-won knowledge. We refined the original pattern just enough to be slightly more streamlined and integrate more modern materials without losing its quintessential '80s aesthetic. Perfecting the colors was a must and the original Jag was a key source of inspiration as we selected full-grain leathers and highly durable nylon to bring the updated pattern to life. Lastly, we used a waffle-style outsole, common on vintage athletic shoes, to give universal grip from trail to town. The result is an updated Jag that proudly reflects the original's 1980s vibe and carries on its legacy.

STAY COOL WHEN THE TRAIL HEATS UP

Lightweight, breathable and comfortable were the goals when it came to developing the South Rim 600. Named for the warmest side of the Grand Canyon, the South Rim features a mesh and suede upper to breathe well on the hottest of days. Cool feet is only a portion of a good warm-weather boot, so we utilized the ultra cushy Vibram SPE midsole for energy rebound and Fuga outsole for traction. This combination provides all-day comfort and maximum grip for this versatile summer boot.

MAKING HOT SUMMER MILES COOLER

The South Rim balances lightweight breathability with Danner durability by combining brushed suede and strategically placed abrasion-resistant mesh paneling. Inside the boot is an air mesh liner that adds even more air circulation.

SUPERIOR GRIP NO MATTER THE TERRAIN

Grip and the confidence you'll have it when you need it are a must in any boot built for the outdoors. When it comes to engineering the perfect outsole for hiking, we turn to the experts at Vibram. The South Rim uses Vibram's Fuga outsole with specially formulated Megagrip rubber compound. Renowned for its superior traction on both wet and dry surfaces, the Fuga outsole also has self adapting lugs that form and grip to changing terrain.

MORE ENERGY FOR MORE MILES

At the core of our South Rim boots is the Vibram SPE midsole. Developed with our partners at Vibram, this midsole uses a rubberized EVA material that is two times more resilient than traditional EVA and less susceptible to breaking down. With enhanced energy rebound, you'll have less foot fatigue and more energy for whatever challenges the trail brings.

DESIGNED FOR ADVENTURE BOTH ON AND OFF THE GRID

The demands of vast, undeveloped expanses are high, but the city presents its own unique challenges. Adventures occur just the same both in-city and out, and weather will always remain an unpredictable companion. The 917 series was built for this environment, to thrive where concrete and steel rule the day while offering protection from the ever-changing elements. Whether you're counting down till Friday to head for open country or planning to spend your nights urban exploring, the Vertigo, Feather Light and Tramline are light enough for the day-to-day with waterproof protection when you need it. Featuring an exclusive, high-traction Vibram outsole, GORE-TEX lining, and our renowned durability paired with minimalistic aesthetics, you'll look good and be ready.

DANNER TRADITION FOR THE MODERN TRAIL

While the 917 series opens a new avenue for lightweight, everyday boots, it's important they represent Danner's legendary quality and style. The Vertigo 917 and Feather Light 917 carry iconic Danner design elements and purpose-built features similar to our outdoor boots. Lace-to-toe functionality with our iconic D-rings, high traction Vibram outsoles, and stringently tested leather are all used in the construction of our 917 boots. This series takes what we know, what we've learned, and what our customers rely on to adapt, shape, and modernize each step.

GOOD BOOTS START WITH THE BEST

We've always found it a lot easier to build a premium boot when you start with premium components and the 917 series carries that mindset forward. Our close relationship with Vibram helped us create a solid foundation for the line with an exclusive outsole utilizing their XS Trek rubber. This rubber compound balances comfort and stability with exemplary durability and traction in conditions on concrete and trails alike. The 917 sole is paired with Vibram’s SPE midsole which uses a unique co-polymer blend of both synthetic and natural rubber matched with EVA for a more durable midsole than plain EVA that’s still lightweight. To cap things off, we use waterproof breathable GORE-TEX lining so you can ignore rainy weather and focus on whatever your day might hold.

STITCHDOWN THAT’S READY FOR DOWNTOWN

Stitchdown construction has been one of our signature designs since the beginning and for good reason. Constructing our boots this way gives you better stability and provides greater durability. For the 917 series, we wanted to keep the benefits of stitchdown, while presenting a refined urban aesthetic. To do so, we combined the stitchdown construction with a cupsole process that wraps the midsole up around the stitching. This creates a more casual looking boot and allows for a little more flex to get that sneaker feel and comfort.

EVERYDAY COMFORTABLE, EVERY TRAIL CAPABLE.

For days that begin with running errands in town and end with a sunset hike, the Adrika is built to handle it all while remaining light and supportive underfoot. Modern construction and design elements streamline the Adrika, while classic aesthetics and functional durability keep it rooted in the Danner hiking heritage.

DANNER DRY AND DANNER DURABLE

Boots are a trusted part of your gear, you rely on them to keep your feet safe and ready to meet the demands of your day. We take that all to heart when designing our boots. Built in the Danner tradition of durability, the Adrika utilizes a tough suede upper with double stitched seams to stand up to craggy trails and long days. We line the suede upper with our Danner Dry waterpoof membrane to ensure your feet are dry whether the sky opens up on the trail, or you step into that dreaded slush puddle commuting home.

BUILT LIGHTWEIGHT FOR ALL-AROUND PERFORMANCE

We wanted the Adrika to be ready for whatever your day entails, so versatility was paramount. Based on a cupsole construction that’s common for athletic shoes, we paired it with our modern plyolite midsole and a streamlined multi-directional lugged outsole. This combination allows the Adrika to be a highly functional boot, that’s light and athletic enough to be worn no matter the situation.

COMFORT YOU CAN COUNT ON

The Adrika was built to ensure the best fit right out of the box. Constructed around the shape of a woman's foot, the boot has a lower profile while still providing room for all-day comfort. The three layer construction of the removable ortholite footbed provides superior cushioning and support. With the Adrika you can know your boots will fit right and feel good from day one.

SUEDE UPPER

These uppers are made from rich, durable suede.Two lace options, because you can never have too many laces, this pair comes with an alternative color.

NUBUCK LEATHER & NYLON UPPER

For superior abrasion- and scuff-resistance, we use full-grain nubuck leather combined with lightweight, breathable nylon. This combination offers some of the best protection in cold and wet environments. Two lace options, because you can never have too many laces, this pair comes with an alternative color.

Product description

The newest addition to our tactical line has proven performance in its innovative, Vibram® platform that’s been trail-tested on our popular mountain 600 hiking boot. The unmatched traction from the megagrip technology used in the outsole gives this boot a serious competitive advantage on the range and in the field. A perfectly patterned, lightweight upper combined with its Vibram® platform provides support, comfort and energy return that requires little or no break-in. AND because weather is always a factor we’ve made it available in waterproof and breathable versions for whatever tactical pursuits await.

Product description

We've taken our typical Danner boot and completely overhauled it to take out any and all extra weight without neglecting comfort and performance. Design features include durable, waterproof, full-grain leather and 500 denier nylon upper for weight savings with the added benefit of an ultra-fast dry time. Speed lacing and a 3-layer comfort system work together to create a snug, comfortable fit. Most boots in this weight category have a composite rubber outsole but the tachyon features a true rubber outsole for superior abrasion resistance and traction.

Athletic Inspired, Duty Designed, Field Proven.

We’d heard the demand for a lightweight trainer, but we weren’t going to make one until it could meet the exacting standards at Danner. Getting it right was essential. The Tachyon is the output of research and patience to make a trainer boot that can hold up to the rigors of the field. With a wide range of versions available, whether waterproof, polishable toe, or hot weather specific, you can find the right Tachyon for the job at hand. Most importantly, you can be confident that even though it's inspired by shoes worn on the athletic field, it's built durable to hold up in whatever field your tactical athletics take you to.

Full Rubber Outsoles, Ready For The Rigors Of The Field

Save the EVA for your tennis shoes. For a boot to truly hold up day after day in the field, it needs to be built with materials that are more durable. That's why we use a 100% rubber outsole for our Tachyon. With pentagonal lugs for maximum surface contact and superior grip, it'll hold up longer, provide better traction, all while keeping an athletic feel for comfort and mobility.

Lace Up, Roll Out.

We know being able to move out quick means getting your boots on fast. The Tachyon uses special speed lacing hardware to allow for toe to top tightening with one swift tug. You’ll get a snug fit that hugs the foot, and you’ll get it quickly. Less time lacing up for more time getting the job done.

Built Durable Without The Bulk

Lightweight. It's one of the biggest draws towards a trainer-inspired boot. However, finding the balance between lightweight construction and durability can be a real challenge. We sought out 500 Denier Nylon to help solve this problem, as we know it to provide one of the lightest strength-to-weight ratios out there. Matched with strategically placed full-grain leather we’re able to build the Tachyon upper to be every bit as strong as it is lightweight. You’ll get the feel of a favorite athletic shoe with the strength you always grab your boots for.
