Terra Force Support
The Terra Force platform is a TPU plate under the arch that stabilizes the foot on side-hills and rocky trail, so the boot supports you instead of twisting under load.
Basalt Lugs, Abrasion Guard
Oversized lugs on the Danner Basalt outsole bite on loose rock and mud, and the PU-coated toe and heel guard takes the scuffing that kills leather on scree — recraftable at Danner when the sole wears.
Why Choose the Danner 65502?

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Radical 451 65502 waterproof?
Yes. Danner® Dry waterproof construction seals the boot — a breathable barrier that keeps water out and lets moisture escape.
Can the Radical 451 be resoled?
Yes. Danner lists it as recraftable, so a worn Basalt outsole can be replaced on the original upper.
How does the Radical 451 fit?
Order the size you wear in athletic shoes and try it with your hiking sock; the OrthoLite footbed lifts out if you run your own insole.
What is the Terra Force platform?
A TPU arch-support plate built into the midsole that stabilizes the foot on uneven ground and keeps the boot from twisting under a pack.
Is the Radical 451 insulated?
It has no added insulation; it is a three-season hiker built to breathe while you move.
What's the difference between the 65501 and 65502?
Same Radical 451 build — waterproof full-grain leather, Terra Force support, Basalt outsole, recraftable. The 65501 is Dark Brown / Red and the 65502 is Earth Brown / Bone Brown.
