Danner Hiking Boots

Danner has been building hiking boots in Portland, Oregon since 1932, and this collection carries the current range at Overlook Boots — the Mountain 600 and Mountain 600 Evo, the Trail 2650 family, the USA-made Mountain Light II, Light II, and Explorer 650, plus the Panorama, Skyridge, Vital Trail, Radical 452, Jag II, Crag Rat Evo, Vertigo 917, and Inquire — from 3-inch trail shoes through 6-inch backpacking boots, in men's and women's sizes.

Which Danner Hiking Boot Should You Choose?

It comes down to load and distance. For fast, light miles on maintained trail, the Trail 2650 in a 3-inch shoe is the pick — it's named for the length of the Pacific Crest Trail and built around low weight. For mixed terrain with a day pack, the Mountain 600 at 4.5 inches is Danner's most popular hiker, balancing cushioning against ankle support. For heavy loads, off-trail travel, or multi-day trips, the 5-inch Mountain Light II and the 6-inch Light II give you a stiffer platform and full-grain leather uppers.

Are Danner Hiking Boots Waterproof?

Most are, and the product title tells you which. Waterproof models include the Mountain 600, Mountain Light II, Light II, Explorer 650, Panorama, Skyridge, Vital Trail, Radical 452, Jag II, Crag Rat Evo, Vertigo 917, Inquire, and the GORE-TEX versions of the Trail 2650. The mesh and Campo versions of the Trail 2650 are intentionally breathable instead — the better choice for hot, dry hiking and for trails with frequent creek crossings.

Which Danner Hiking Boots Are Made in the USA?

The Mountain Light II 5", the Light II 6", and the Explorer 650 6" are still built at Danner's Portland, Oregon factory. The Mountain Light II and Light II use stitchdown construction with full-grain leather uppers and are eligible for recrafting, which is why a pair bought today can stay on trail for decades rather than seasons.

Does Danner Make Women's Hiking Boots?

Yes — women's models run right through this collection. They include the Mountain 600 and Mountain 600 Evo, the Trail 2650 and Trail 2650 Campo, the Trail Junction, and the full Inquire range: the Inquire Chukka 4", the Inquire Mid 5", and the Inquire 7" waterproof 200G winter boot for cold-weather hiking.
