Built to Take a Beating
In 1936, Charles Danner moved to the Pacific Northwest to build the best boots loggers had ever known. Nearly a century later, the Steel Yard carries that legacy forward, blending legendary durability with game-changing comfort. A full-grain leather upper and Goodyear welt construction stand up to the job site, while Danner® Dry waterproofing and a steel safety toe round out the package.
