Completely Overbuilt, on Purpose
Danner didn't have to give the Super Rain Forest triple stitching. It didn't have to use leather-over-leather construction. It didn't have to completely overbuild it. But it did — and that's what makes it worthy of the name. This version adds 200G Thinsulate™ insulation for lightweight warmth on top of the double-thick leather and GORE-TEX waterproofing.
Key Features of the Danner Super Rain Forest 8" 200G Insulated 11700
-
200G Thinsulate™ Insulation: High-performance insulation that keeps you warm in snow and rain without weighing you down.
-

-
Waterproof GORE-TEX® Liner: A 100% waterproof, breathable liner keeps water out while letting sweat and moisture escape.
-
Vibram® 132 Montagna Outsole: A work-specific rubber compound with deep, angled lugs for stability and traction ascending or descending.
-
Triple-Stitched Construction: Hyper-strong thread reinforces the boot's toughest stress points.
-
610 Last: Danner's most universal last, fitting a wide range of foot shapes with a snug heel and ample toe room.

Lightweight Warmth for Cold, Wet Conditions
200G Thinsulate is a moderate insulation weight — enough to add real warmth for cold, wet job sites without the bulk of a heavier winter boot. Paired with the fully waterproof GORE-TEX liner, it's built for genuinely cold, damp conditions rather than deep winter extremes.
Double-Thick Leather, Built to Take a Beating
The Super Rain Forest uses the toughest leather Danner can find, resistant to alkali, lime, and other job-site hazards, with double layers across the toe box and top of the foot for industrial-strength protection.
Why Choose the Danner Super Rain Forest 8" 200G Insulated 11700?
If you work in cold, wet conditions and want Danner's toughest Rain Forest build, this is it. 200G insulation, waterproof GORE-TEX, double-thick leather, and Danner's recrafting program come together in a boot built for demanding outdoor work.
