This Boot Does Everything but Field Dress Your Game for You
The feature-rich, USA-made Grouse is built for comfort in all conditions. A waterproof, breathable GORE-TEX® lining pairs with a full-grain leather and Cordura® upper and Danner's famous stitchdown construction for rugged durability and a wide, stable platform. The Danner Bob® outsole — one of the world's best hunting outsoles — tracks steadily through snow and mud while continuously self-cleaning.
Key Features of the Danner Grouse 8" 57300
-
Full-Grain Leather & Cordura® Upper: Cordura Denier nylon combined with full-grain leather for strong resistance to abrasions, tears, and scuffs.
-
Waterproof GORE-TEX® Liner: A 100% waterproof, breathable liner keeps water out while letting sweat and moisture escape.
-
Danner Bob® Outsole: Ranked among the world's best hunting outsoles, especially popular with upland bird hunters. Best suited to soft terrain like snow, mud, slush, and grass — rocky terrain can cause premature wear.

-
Fiberglass Shank & Airthotic® Footbed: Built-in support and cushioning for long days in the field.

Made in USA: Built top to bottom in Danner's Portland, Oregon factory.
Built for Upland Hunters
The Danner Bob outsole has earned its reputation with upland bird hunters specifically for its traction and self-cleaning performance in soft terrain — snow, mud, slush, and grass. If your hunting takes you onto rocky ground regularly, expect faster outsole wear.
Fully Recraftable
Extend the life of this boot with Danner's recrafting services, including part replacement, leather care, and restitching.

If you want a genuinely USA-made hunting boot with proven upland performance, this is it. Full-grain leather and Cordura durability, waterproof GORE-TEX protection, and the legendary Danner Bob outsole come together in a boot built to last season after season.
