Danner
Danner has been making rugged, high-performance boots in Portland, Oregon for over 90 years — starting with footwear for the Pacific Northwest logging industry before riding the outdoor boom of the late '60s into hiking boot icon status.
Today, with around 80% of production still based in Portland, Danner has become a favourite of the Japanese and US menswear scenes for its authenticity and heritage. At TGD, we rate Danner as the closest thing to American boot perfection.
