Original men's Danner Mountain Light boots, introduced back in 1979 are still considered one of the classic hiking boots of all time. The newest version today has almost identical characteristics. However there are a few modern updates that we will certainly appreciate. The boots start with an incredibly durable one-piece leather upper with a waterproof GORE-TEX lining for maximum protection against extreme weather conditions. Speed ​​Hook laces provide a snug fit even when wearing gloves. Full-length fiberglass rack creates an excellent platform , stable enough to carry heavy loads in a backpack especially if you plan to be away from home for several days in a row. Wide pad ideal for people who like a slightly roomy toe box or for larger feet or simply for comfort when carrying heavier loads. Vibram Kletterlift outsole provides excellent traction in all conditions.
