Danner

Based in Portland, Oregon, Danner have been making and perfecting boots for working and exploring for over 90 years. Beginning by making footwear for the huge logging industry in the Pacific north West of the USA, Danner hit the hiking and outdoor boom of the late 60’s, transforming the brand from workwear into the pursuit of the great outdoors. The brand made the famous 6490 hiking boot to critical acclaim. This style was deemed the pinnacle of Hiking footwear all the way through the 70’s, until 1979 when the company teamed up with Gore-tex to create the first ever fully waterproof boot. In the modern era, Danner has been picked up by both the Japanese and US menswear crowds because of their commitment to around 80% of product still being made in Portland, USA and the fact they are a truly authentic and now iconic outdoor brand. At TGD we believe Danner is the nearest thing to authentic American boot perfection as you can get, enjoy.
