Classic Style, Cushioned Comfort
Made in our Portland, Oregon, factory, the Danner Ridge Explorer is a lightweight and versatile hiking boot created with classic Danner style and modern comfort. Inspired by the original Danner Light, it has a full-grain leather upper with suede panels. It's created with a slightly wider fit for sneaker-like comfort on light hikes or busy days.
- Full-Grain Leather and Suede Upper
- To allow more comfort around sensitive parts of the foot, we use select pieces of softer suede in addition to our strong and durable full-grain leather.
- GORE-TEX (GTX)
- 100% waterproof and breathable, GORE-TEX liners ensure that no water gets in, while allowing sweat and moisture to get out.
- Removable OrthoLite Footbed
- Three layers of varying density are combined for maximum cushioning and support. The entire footbed is made of open-cell polyurethane for better heat dissipation and air circulation.
- Vibram® Kletterlift Outsole with Megagrip
- Specifically designed for comfort and durability; the heel provides superb shock absorption and the Vibram® Megagrip compound guarantees great traction and stability on both wet and dry surfaces.
- Stitchdown Construction
- Handcrafted to provide a wider platform, our legendary stitchdown construction offers increased stability underfoot. Many of our stitchdown boots can be recrafted.
- How It Fits
- Portland made 503 last has a casual fit without compromising Danner's comfortable lace-to-toe construction. Fits true to size.
