When it comes to hiking boots, there are few brands we trust more than Danner. The Oregon-based manufacturer has been crafting quality boots built for work, the great outdoors, and everywhere in between for nearly 100 years. And their latest release embraces the tradition of stylish outdoor gear with a few modern twists. A reimagining of the 1988 boot of the same name, the Free Spirit offers the comfort of a lifestyle boot with the protection of hiking gear. The Free Spirit features a 100% waterproof, breathable GORE-TEX liner along with Vibram® Overlook outsole with Megagrip technology for better traction. Pair that with a dual-density midsole with firm edges for support and soft cushioning for comfort and you’ve got a pair of boots that feels great and performs even better. The newly revamped Free Spirit is available in three unique, handsome colorways: Dark Earth, Monk’s Robe, and Volcanic Glass. We’re loving the retro vibes and eye for detail including the vintage hiker laces. Get yourself a pair for your next adventure – even if it’s just to hit the grocery store.
