An '80s Icon, Reintroduced
The Jag once roamed the heavily-bearded trails of the '80s, giving hikers a lighter-weight alternative to the heavy-duty boots of the day. After 30 years, Danner reintroduced it with 21st-century updates: lightweight materials, a dual-density PU midsole, and a new multi-terrain waffle outsole make the Jag the perfect partner for trail or town.
Key Features of the Danner Jag II 4.5" Midnight
-
Full-Grain Leather & Textile Upper: Premium full-grain leather combined with durable water repellent (DWR) treated nylon panels for a highly abrasion-resistant build.

Waterproof Danner® Dry Liner: A 100% waterproof barrier that keeps water out while letting moisture escape, for all-day dry comfort.
-
Two Lace Options: Ships with an alternate pair of laces for a different look.
-
Removable OrthoLite® Footbed: Three layers of varying density for maximum cushioning and support, made of open-cell polyurethane for better heat dissipation and air circulation.
-
Bi Fit Board: Combines the shank, lasting board, and midsole into a single unified piece molded to the boot's shape, reducing weight without sacrificing support.
-
Danner® Waffle II Outsole: An updated version of Danner's waffle outsole, offering improved grip on a variety of terrains, from sidewalks to light trails.

DPDX Last: A low-profile, versatile fit for trail or urban exploring. If you're between sizes, Danner recommends sizing down a half size.

Recraftable: Eligible for a boot stretch, basic, and resole recrafting packages, extending the life of the boot. Note the liner can't be replaced on this style due to its sleek, minimal outsole construction.
