You guys remember that Nelly song where he was stompin’ around in his Air Force 1s? Man, that guy didn’t know what he was missing.

Finished out with a Vibram wedge sole and full leather lining, the boots will out-stomp any pair of sneakers out there – hear that Mr. Hot in Heeere? Read More
To anyone who’s ever said you can’t teach an old dog new tricks, Danner Boots has a message for you: suck it (not actually a quote from Danner).

I am not an outdoorsman. Short of the four years I spent in rural Ohio during college, I’ve lived in cities my whole life. And it shows. I don’t camp, I don’t fish, I don’t hike. Hell, I can practically count the number of times I’ve seen stars at night on one hand. And so, when the good folks at Danner Boots invited me to partake in a group tour of their factory in Portland, and actually put some of their iron-tough stompers to the test in the Oregon wilderness, I was flattered, but sure they had made a mistake. Why on earth would they want me, a man who’s never slept in a tent before, field testing their wares? But, they assured me: no mistake had been made. And so, I went. And I had an absolute blast.
Good news for anyone looking for boots that’ll last longer than they will: Danner Mountain Lights are now on sale at Epaulet. Hand-built in Portland, OR the iconic stompers feature a full-grain leather upper, Goodyear welted Vibram Kletterlift outsole, and a waterproof GORE-TEX liner. Just about every size is still available, and the markdown is a not-too-shabby 30%. Read More
