Setting the Standard Since 1979

Inspired by the original Danner Light, introduced in 1979, this version of the classic boot takes its name from a scenic spot on the lower Deschutes River. A suede upper nods to the desert landscape, and a GORE-TEX liner keeps feet dry on stream crossings and rainy-day hikes. A Vibram® Kletterlift outsole provides stable traction on wet or dry surfaces. We're proud that the Danner Light is still built by hand in our Portland, Oregon, factory.

Suede Upper

These uppers are made from rich, durable suede.

GORE-TEX (GTX)

100% waterproof and breathable, GORE-TEX liners ensure that no water gets in, while allowing sweat and moisture to get out.

Vibram® Kletterlift Outsole with Megagrip

Specifically designed for comfort and durability; the heel provides superb shock absorption and the Vibram® Megagrip compound guarantees great traction and stability on both wet and dry surfaces.

How It Fits

This EE width is designed to fit an average width foot, similar to a D width. The 650 EE last offers a more relaxed fit for casual, everyday wear while still offering support and stability. Since this style runs a little long, we recommend sizing down a half size for the best fit.

Recraftable
