- Located in the shadow of snow-capped Mount Hood and home to towering Douglas firs, Portland, Oregon is home to some of the biggest names in outdoor apparel. Danner, however, predates them all.

“Charles Danner started the company in Wisconsin in 1932. He realized that if he moved the company to the Pacific Northwest, he could sell the same logging boot for $5 a pair for $12 a pair in Portland, Oregon.” Danner’s Senior Manager of Engineering and Quality, Chris Perrotti, tells Popular Mechanics.

While some of Danner’s earliest creations were those $12 spike-soled logging boots, the company has grown in the 90 years since and now makes every kind of boot imaginable, including hiking boots, police boots, a pair for one lucky elephant, and military boots, which, because of government contracts, must use materials sourced from the US.

What Goes into Making a $440 Pair of Danner Boots 
Наука
I live in NJ and own several pairs of Danner. If you are interested in purchasing, pay attention if they are USA made or are imported. The USA models are much more expensive but are worth it. The imports are good too, in fact they are better than most imports, but the USA models are some of the best boots out there. Pay attention too, if they have Gore-Tex. Gore-Tex is keeps the water out but it makes the boot very hot to wear. Unless you are outside a lot, don't get them with Gore-Tex. And its tough to find none Gore-Tex models (sometimes called 'hot versions' on the website, not all non Gor-Tex models are marked that way though).
250 dollar boot at most sold for 440. Nice.
I bought a pair of Danner Light II boots. Remarkably comfortable and showing no signs of wear after six months.
Mine are going on being 9 years old . They are still perfect . Just had em resoled by danner but that’s expected wear .
I used some Danner boots to landscape. They were so tough I only got rid of them because they looked so beat. As far as comfort they were still good though.
I've heard good reviews about these boots and just ordered a pair. I've learned there's something to be said about hand crafted products. I look forward to trying them out.
How do you like them?
@@stackmosayless-1669 I've had them for a few months and they've held up very well (as expected). I got some better foot pads which are more comfortable, so that even after a full day of work, there are no issues. I think the only drawbacks to a lesser degree is the weight and ankle comfort (or lack thereof) when wearing ankle high socks, but I take that into consideration and will use a different pair of boots when those situations arise.
Danner Acadia is an amazing boot, I'm about to buy the winter lite next
Bought me a pair of Danner Trophy Hunting boots last November
Отлично 👍🏻! Респект и уважуха из России и спасибо за отличную обувь!
Think Danner is my new favorite footwear company. I hope I can find one that fits me. I wear a 14 and just ordered a pair but they were too big so I’m
Trying the 13 wide
They should provide mtn boots with roughout leather.
Short answer: COST OF LABOR in Portland Oregon
lol uh little correction there, in AMERICA.
Why do they lie about the lace hooks?? They rust so easily
Sorry, but more research said DIFFERENT !
Just wait until these people hear about mountaineering boots
hear what?
@@PGlll they can cost upwards of $1000
The soles should not be glued on with a high-end boot. They should be welted. I didn’t see a lot of “hand crafting” here either. Every stitch was machine made.
Agreed about the handcrafted part but goodyear welting is called goodyear because it's done on a goodyear machine, and it's probably the most basic and cheapest way to welt a boot. Also crap for water resistance.
Rose anvil tore this ish apart
Not … really. He definitely said they were overpriced but far from said they were ish.
i don’t think Rose Anvil ever cut a Danner standard hiker. He dissed one of the lite models, and said the bullrun moc toe was perhaps $50 overpriced but decent for that tier (less than $200).
@@jdagni he's made 5 videos on Danner, all of them bad, one about the mountain lite (you know, the $440 boot mentioned in the title of this video)
Nah, I agree they are overpriced but they are still a very good boot. The leather is super thick and good quality and the sole is very comfortable. You can resole this many many times and get your moneys worth too.
I like rose anvil but he often loses track of why people purchase boots to begin with. Things like indys are bought often specifically because the materials make them more comfortable for example.
@@frankytanky5076yeah they are definitely good boot and the second thickest of all the boots test by rose anvil by puncture test. I own them and like them a lot
150 to 200 dollars for a name...
Woke boots
cause it says portland? 😅😅
@@nicknico4121 just to be on the safe side lol
@@DDHJunkHaulers originated in wisconsin thats the good news
I would love to have a pair of the hiking boots. 😊
Even if you knew what that meant, and you clearly don't, it still doesn't make any sense.
