Check out the real story about this boot here.
Hi I’m Mark Harbaugh, global sales manager with Patagonia. I’m here at the 2018 IFTD with North 40 Outfitters and today we are introducing or discussing the Danner Boot collection co-branded with Patagonia.
This is a product that Patagonia went to Danner and told them what our needs were. We went through several protos and created the best boot on the market. The key thing for us was that the boot could be resoled, so with the stitch down construction that’s totally possible. US made, new saline treated leather, so this makes it waterproof and shrink proof. This happens to be Vibram’s Ida Grip Sole that was developed exclusively for Patagonia and it is stud able as well.
The design here is a wide platform to stand on with a beefy heel counter. Additional side support created here with drain holes. Eyelet placed to hold the heel down and back, similar to how you would buckle a ski boot shut.
So, the Danner Boot is the foot tractor. Patagonia, Danner boot co-branded project is available in three soles: the sticky rubber, felt, and our aluminum bar system. This system has got nothing but 5-stars on our Patagonia.com website. We worked with Vibram and developed a different configuration place the bar outer here, so you can stand on a sharp corner and still have a good stable platform. And it also by the new design here it allows the sole to cup and wrap around rock for better stability.
