Under That Traditional Looking Facade Is One Advanced Boot
The USA-made Recon is tough and traditional in appearance, and comfortable in application. It delivers stability and support with its all-leather stitchdown construction, which provides a wider platform for increased stability underfoot. 200G Thinsulate™ insulation provides warmth, GORE-TEX® lining delivers waterproof, breathable protection, and the lace-to-toe design offers a secure fit.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does Berry Compliant mean?
It's a certification stricter than general "Made in USA" claims — it requires every component, down to the raw materials, to be sourced and manufactured in the United States.
Does the Recon run true to size?
It's built on the 650 last, which runs slightly long — Danner recommends sizing down a half size, and ordering an EE (wide) if you have a wider foot.
How warm is the 200G insulation?
It's a moderate insulation weight, adding real warmth for cold-weather duty without the bulk of a heavier winter boot.
Can I get this boot recrafted down the road?
Yes. It's eligible for Danner's recrafting services, including part replacement, leather care, and restitching.
