Work the Elements
Danner built the Cedar River to be an on-the-job mainstay you won't want to take off when the workday ends. A distinctive moc toe on the full-grain leather upper gives it timeless style, while a Danner® Dry lining provides waterproof protection you can count on. Long days on your feet feel just a little bit shorter thanks to a PU midsole with a wedge design that reduces underfoot pressure points.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this boot electrical hazard rated?
Yes. It's EH certified, with non-conductive soles that help protect against electrical shock in dry conditions.
Does the Cedar River fit true to size?
Yes. It's built on the Portland-made 503 last, a casual fit that runs true to size.
What's the difference between the 6" and 8" Cedar River?
Both share the same moc-toe styling, Danner Dry waterproofing, and Goodyear welt construction — the 8" version simply offers taller ankle coverage.
Can the Cedar River be resoled?
Yes. Its Goodyear welt construction lets a qualified cobbler replace the outsole when it wears, extending the life of the boot.
Does the Cedar River 14302 have a safety toe?
It is a plain moc toe with no safety cap and no ASTM F2413 toe rating; it is EH rated with non-conductive soles. If your site requires a protective toe, the 14303 is the Cedar River 8" with an aluminum toe.
How do I care for the Cedar River?
Knock off dirt, wipe the leather clean, let the boot dry away from direct heat, and condition the leather every few months. Conditioning keeps the leather supple without affecting the Danner Dry liner.
