My experience with Danner boots began back in 2001 when the Acadia was the issued winter boot for all Rangers within the 75th Ranger Regiment. It didn’t take long for anyone to figure out they were far superior to the green “Jungle Boots” in almost every application. Since that time, I’ve toured the Danner factory as well as taken […]

Danner Scorch 6″ Hot Weather Boot | Quick Look
It’s no secret that I enjoy using Danner boots, and it’s no surprise why. In the toughest environments I’ve been in, Danner boots have held their own. In heat over 110 degrees and while being ground against jagged rocks, my issued Acadia’s were totally dependable. During a tour of the Danner factory in Portland, OR, […]
Danner Mountain Pass Boots
Danner has been a long time name in the industry with a very reputable background. I used Danner boots back in the early 90’s when I was going through the Marine Corps Mountain Warfare Training Center in the Sierra Nevadas. They were more expensive than most, but the investment was well worth it and my […]
Danner Reckoning boots | Final Review
Boots can be an interesting thing to review: we think of them in such simple terms (protect my feet) but in day-to-day use there are a number of metrics they are measured by.

Danner Reckoning | First Look
During my recent tour at the Danner footwear factory, I was able to check out the entire lineup of Danner’s boots. The most exciting set I saw was the recently released Reckoning. When the tour was complete, I was sent home with a pair of said new boots with the Loadout Room being the first […]
Danner Tachyon | First Impressions
It turns out one of the most exciting clothing products I saw at this year’s SHOT show wasn’t even a new one for 2017. The Danner Tachyon was one of the few items I had circled not two but three times in my notebook to review once I had returned to the ol’ homestead. Imagine my […]
Danner Footwear | Factory Tour
If you’ve served in the US military or have spent significant time hiking trails across North America, I’d bet dollars to doughnuts you have at least a passing familiarity with Danner footwear. While in 2nd Ranger Battalion out of Ft. Lewis, I was issued a set of Danners (the Acadia I believe) as my cold […]
