Serious performance in a low-profile package — GORE-TEX Invisible Fit waterproofing, an energy-returning EnduroFoam Plus midsole, and a Vibram® Megagrip N45+ outsole.

Women's models are built on Danner's Women's Precision Fit last.

GORE-TEX Invisible Fit
Instead of a loose bootie inside the shoe, Invisible Fit laminates the GORE-TEX membrane directly to the upper — waterproof with less bulk, better flex, and a lighter shoe that dries faster.
Supercritical Foam, Megagrip Lugs
EnduroFoam Plus is a supercritical-process foam that cushions and rebounds like a running shoe, and the Vibram Megagrip N45+ outsole runs wide lugs for traction on wet rock and loose trail. Recraftable when the outsole wears.
Why Choose the Danner 32853?

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the MTN45 Low GTX 32853 waterproof?
Yes. GORE-TEX Invisible Fit laminates the waterproof membrane directly to the upper — a sealed layer that keeps water out and lets moisture escape.
How does the MTN45 Low fit?
It fits like a trail shoe — order the size you wear in running shoes. Women's models (32854, 32855) are built on Danner's Women's Precision Fit last.
Can the MTN45 Low be resoled?
Yes. Danner lists it as recraftable, so a worn Vibram® outsole can be replaced on the original upper.
What is EnduroFoam Plus?
Danner's supercritical-process foam midsole with TPE — lighter and more resilient than standard EVA, built to cushion and return energy over a long day.
Is the MTN45 Low insulated?
It has no added insulation; it is a three-season hiking shoe built to breathe while you move.
What's the difference between the MTN45 Low and MTN45 Mid?
Same GORE-TEX Invisible Fit waterproofing, Vibram Megagrip outsole, and nubuck upper. The Low is cut like a trail shoe with the EnduroFoam Plus supercritical midsole for fast, light days; the Mid adds ankle coverage and a rock plate for loaded backpacking.
