40+ YEARS OF HIKING BOOT GREATNESS

Ask a seasoned backpacker what the ideal hiking boot looks like, and you're bound to hear a description of the Mountain Light. That's because for more than 40 years, the Mountain Light set the standard for every new product that hit the market. And in all that time, nothing ever dethroned the original. Today, we're proud to re-introduce this boot. They're built by hand in Portland, Oregon, with premium suede leather, a Vibram Kletterlift outsole and waterproof GORE-TEX liners. The result is a classic design that provides unmatched comfort and support.

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.

Removable Airthotic Foam Footbed

Inspired by Danner's original Airthotic instep cup, the new updated Ortholite^®Airthotic features the same support as the original but with long-lasting Ortholite^®cushion. Machine washable and antimicrobial.

Vibram® Kletterlift Outsole

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.

Stitchdown Construction

Handcrafted to provide a wider platform, our legendary stitchdown construction offers increased stability underfoot. Many of our stitchdown boots can be recrafted.

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

Extend the life of your boot with our recrafting services. This boot is eligible for a number of paid services, including part replacement, leather care and restitching.
