Rugged terrain meets its match with the Danner Logger 917 GTX. These boots use the classic pattern that Danner has been using since it released its original boot. However, the durability factor goes up to another level with a GORE-TEX waterproof liner and Vibram SPE rubberized EVA midsole. Those enhancements on Danner’s original design give you waterproofing to the extreme and yet the boot itself is lightweight. It’s the kind of rugged design you’ve been searching for and, best of all, it can be worn out in the wilderness or paired with your favorite jeans.
The Logger 917 GTX comes with two pairs of laces; after all, you can never have too many. The footbed selected by Danner is also removable so you can adjust the density and cushioning for optimal support. Not all feet are the same, so your footbed shouldn’t be either. You can also use the kilties, or false tongues, that will help protect your laces from collecting dirt or getting caught in a snag.
