Danner Vertigo 917 Urban Boots

For hiking, work and lifestyle boots you’d be hard-pressed to find something tougher than Danner’s offerings. Their Vertigo 917 takes the company’s 80 year plus technical boot-making experience and applies it to an urban shoe that can easily tackle both the concrete jungle and more challenging terrains.

The trail-inspired boot sports a modernized version of Danner’s renowned stitchdown construction and a classic-looking full-grain leather upper for superior waterproofness and durability. Inside you get GORE-TEX liners keeping your feet will dry and allowing sweat to get out, plus a removable cushioning OrthoLite footbed for comfort and underfoot support.

A lightweight Vibram SPE midsole (rubber paired with EVA) enhances rebound, while the Trek rubber compound outsole ensures durability and traction in wet conditions on the trail or city streets.
