It’s not unusual for outerwear brands like Carhartt or Canada Goose to incorporate Gore-Tex into new releases, but Danner was the first bolster boots with the water-resistant material way back in 1978.

To celebrate over four decades of Gore-Tex use, the Oregon-based footwear company dropped the ultra-rugged Danner Light 40th Anniversary Edition.

Each six-inch boot boasts a breathable Gore-Tex liner that keeps water out on wet treks while allowing sweat to escape. This, in combination with a cushioning three-layer footbed, ensures maximum heat dissipation and air circulation.

Additionally, the Danner Light’s upper is made from a combination of full-grain leather and 1000 Denier nylon for a durable construction. A Vibram Megagrip outsole provides traction and stability on virtually any surface, while the reinforced heel handily absorbs even the nastiest shocks.
