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.

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 double-thick Super 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.
