As far as this boot is concerned, it's still the golden era of backpacking. To build it, Danner bootmakers sought out leathers similar to those used on the original Danner Light, introduced in 1979. This classic-inspired boot features stitchdown construction and a Vibram Kletterlift outsole for stable traction on a variety of terrain. The Danner Light is still built by hand, in their Portland, Oregon factory with rich full-grain leather, denier nylon panels, and a waterproof GORE-TEX liner. The Details * Made from a combination of their premium full-grain leather and 1000 Denier nylon, this upper is extremely durable. * 100% waterproof and breathable, GORE-TEX liners ensure that no water gets in, while allowing sweat and moisture to get out. * Specifically designed for comfort and durability; the heel provides superb shock absorption and the rubber compound guarantees great traction and stability on both wet and dry surfaces. * Handcrafted to provide a wider platform, our legendary stitchdown construction offers increased stability underfoot. * Made in the USA. * Product code 30465 Delivery Danner Light Boot (Black)
