American Crafted for American Craftsmen
Over ten years after the original Quarry became a staple for workers around the country, Danner brought its manufacturing to the Portland, Oregon factory and made major improvements to comfort and durability along the way. This version adds a lightweight alloy safety toe on top of the same GORE-TEX waterproofing and redesigned Vibram Quarry outsole.
Key Features of the Danner Quarry USA 8" Alloy Toe 17307
-
Alloy Safety Toe (AT): A lighter alternative to steel that meets ASTM F2413 for impact and compression resistance.
-
Full-Grain Leather Upper: Leather is put through nine separate tests before selection, for strength and durability on the job.
-
Waterproof GORE-TEX® Liner: A 100% waterproof, breathable liner keeps water out while letting sweat and moisture escape.
-
Vibram® Quarry Outsole: A 90-degree heel with an oil- and slip-resistant rubber compound and a non-linear lug pattern for traction and debris release.
-
Single-Piece Quarry Midsole: An upgraded, solid midsole built for increased longevity over the original Quarry.
-
Triple-Stitched Construction: Hyper-strong thread reinforces the boot's toughest stress points.
-
610 Last: Danner's most universal last, with a snug heel and ample toe room for a versatile fit across foot shapes.
-
Electrical Hazard (EH) Rated: Non-conductive soles help protect against electrical shock in dry conditions, meeting ASTM F2413 for electrical hazard resistance.
-
Stitchdown Construction: A handcrafted, wider platform for stability underfoot — and it can be recrafted to extend the boot's life.
Why an Alloy Toe?
An alloy toe delivers the same ASTM F2413 impact and compression protection as a steel toe, but in a lighter package — noticeably less bulk in the toe box over a full day of work. It's a good middle ground between a plain toe and a heavier steel-toe boot.
Made in the USA, and Recraftable
Danner sources materials from around the world and finishes each pair by hand in Portland, Oregon — the “Made in USA with imported components” approach that keeps the price reasonable without giving up build quality. Thanks to stitchdown construction, the boot is eligible for part replacement, leather care, and restitching through Danner's recrafting program.
Why Choose the Danner Quarry USA 8" Alloy Toe 17307?
If you need certified safety-toe protection without the weight of steel, this is it. ASTM F2413 impact and compression protection, waterproof GORE-TEX, and the redesigned Vibram Quarry outsole come together in a boot built to be recrafted and worn for years.
