Danner

About us

You don’t put on a pair of Danner boots to sit around the house. They’re made for adventure, exploration, and the hard work the men and women who wear them perform day in and day out.

For nearly a century, Danner has crafted boots with purpose and integrity - footwear to equip those who choose the unlikely path, those who cut fresh trails, those who pioneer.

Charles Danner came west to build the best boots loggers had ever known, an effort that resulted in a long-standing heritage brand with a renegade spirit. A spirit that proudly lives on in each pair of Danner boots we make to this day.

Charles Danner felt the pull to the wild of the Pacific Northwest, drawn by the promise of opportunity in the rugged unknown. He came with a commitment to quality craftsmanship and a deep respect for the uncompromising landscape. From the gleaming alpine lakes and the plummeting river gorges, to the thick forests and the sweeping coastlines, Danner boots are of this place.

Beasts.  These are great boots.
5 Stars
Beasts. These are great boots.
If you want a boot that isn’t a straight up hiker, or dress boot, but just is ready for whatever you can throw at it and then resole them and enjoy the broken in feel even more these are those boots for me. The leather is good quality and thick, won’t be clipping a low sharp spot and cutting a hole in these no sir. The Heel protrudes out and behind the shaft of the boot slightly but firmly locking the heel in place and allowing the shaft of the boot to follow the natural lines of the leg up. I tried adding a high quality insole to see if I could up the plush factor but in the end removed it the boot is excellent as it is. If I had to go off into “what if” situations of almost any kind this is the pair of boots I’d want on my feet. Try them, I think you’ll find in 10 or so years you’ll be recommending them to someone else based on your own outstanding experiences. Yes are expensive, but I’ve never ONCE thought where did my money go?!? I’ve found for me they ran about 1/2 size on the USA chart big. I normally wear 10 in everything. But in these 9.5B Narrow is perfect for me. Hope I helped some of you shopping on this item. It was amazing 20 years ago, it still is now as of 12/21 I can attest to.
Thank you for your feedback

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing boots for the money!
Reviewed in the United States on June 21, 2014
These boots are amazing. Finally bought a pair after burning through a pair of lesser boots once a year if not more. Word of advice though, don't lace the bottom portion up super tight until they break in. In regards to breaking them in, it takes awhile. Had them almost a month now and they are finally getting comfortable. Don't forget Danner's special boot dressing for them.
Will order again, but with the ability to recraft them, that probably won't be for a long time!

Update!
Been wearing these boots for about 10 hours a day, 5 days a week now for awhile and they are holding up great! It is such a good feeling to be able to tromp through any puddle or muddy terrain and have your feet remain dry. I usually hose them off at work to keep them looking decent and my feet never get wet. I bought the Danner boot dressing and apply it twice a month and it seems to be helping. The way the tread is wearing, I'll probably have to send them off in about a year or so to get re-soled, but that's fine. I will NEVER wear another brand of boots again as long as Danner continues to make a quality, USA made product like these boots.

UPDATE!
Had these since 2014. Sent them to Danner for recrafting in 2018 and just look at those pictures. Unfortunately, the soles now are worn down and the leather is split in a few places so recrafting them a second time is out of the question. I just ordered a new pair and now that I'm a bit less active at work, I expect them to last about 5-6 years before I recraft them, then another 5-6 years before I replace them.

If you're buying these, make sure you get the Danner boot dressing that Amazon sells and use it every other week or so in order to keep the leather supple and pliable. I didn't do that as often as I should. Still, my original pair is now a pair to have as a backup at work.

Buy once, cry once... though I wish they were $230 now like they were back in 2014 when I bought my first pair.
