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. Double-thick leather offers exceptional durability, and the GORE-TEX lining provides breathable waterproof protection in a boot built from top to bottom in Danner's Portland, Oregon factory.
Key Features of the Danner Super Rain Forest 8" 11500
-
Double-Thick Leather Upper: Full-grain leather with double layers across the toe box and top of the foot for industrial-strength durability.
-
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.
