Danner Men's Moto GTX Waterproof Boot - Brown — 30749
Born for the bike and built to last — a USA-made, recraftable riding boot with GORE-TEX waterproofing, D3O® ankle impact guards, and a Vibram® Kletterlift Megagrip outsole.
Inspired by classic duty boots and reimagined for modern riders, the Moto GTX pairs a 5.5 oz leather upper with toe and medial clutch-guard reinforcement, a fitted D3O® ankle guard on each side, a medial shift guard, a GORE-TEX waterproof liner, and stitchdown construction made in Danner's Portland factory.

Protection Where the Bike Hits
D3O® is an impact-absorbing polymer that stays soft until struck, then stiffens to spread the load — fitted at the ankle bones, where a drop or a footpeg strike lands. The medial shift guard and clutch-guard reinforcement take the abrasion of shifting and clutching.
Made in USA, Built to Recraft
Stitchdown construction turns the upper out and stitches it to the midsole around the perimeter, so the boot is stable on a peg and can be recrafted at Danner's Portland factory when the Vibram® outsole wears.
Why Choose the Danner 30749?
A waterproof, USA-made, recraftable moto boot with real impact protection and a Vibram® outsole that grips wet pavement — the pick for riders who want a boot that works off the bike too.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Moto GTX 30749 waterproof?
Yes. A GORE-TEX waterproof liner keeps water out while letting moisture vapor escape — a sealed membrane, not a surface treatment.
What protection does the Moto GTX offer?
Fitted D3O® impact guards at the ankle bones, a medial shift guard, and toe and clutch-guard reinforcement on the leather. It is a riding boot with a soft toe, not an ASTM-rated safety boot.
Can the Moto GTX be resoled?
Yes. Stitchdown construction means Danner's Portland factory can recraft the boot — new outsole and midsole on the original upper.
Where is the Moto GTX made?
Danner builds it in Portland, Oregon, USA.
How should the Moto GTX fit?
Order the size you wear in athletic shoes and try it with your riding sock; the ankle guards sit against the ankle bones, so the heel should feel locked with no lift. Stitchdown boots feel firm out of the box and break in over the first couple of weeks.
What's the difference between the 35945, 30750, and 30749?
All are GORE-TEX, D3O-guarded, USA-made stitchdown Moto boots on a Vibram® Kletterlift outsole. The 35945 is the Moto Full Zip GTX in black with a replaceable lace-in zipper for fast entry; the 30750 (black) and 30749 (brown) are the lace-up Moto 917.
