Danner has taken their legendary trail heritage and chopped it down into a low-profile silhouette that makes absolute sense for the city. If you want the indestructible feel of a classic hiking boot without the bulk of a high collar, this is the pair to go for. The upper mixes tough black leather with heavy-duty nylon paneling, backed by a fully waterproof GORE-TEX lining to keep your feet bone-dry when the skies inevitably open up. Down below, the chunky Vibram Traction Cascade outsole provides serious grip, whether you are stepping over wet grates or heading out for a weekend stomp in the country. Finished with their signature stitchdown construction, these are built to last years, not seasons. They look spot-on paired with heavy denim or relaxed cargo trousers.
