Weather changes, terrain varies, and sometimes you find yourself traveling further afield than planned - the Vital is designed for the unknown and the unexpected. Light, fast, aggressive, yet stealthy. Let your feet help you disappear into your environment.
ABRASION-RESISTANT LEATHER & TEXTILE UPPER - A specialized process is used to impregnate split leather with polyurethane to create an exceptionally durable and abrasion resistant leather. Danner paired the leather with 900 denier polyester to create a hard-wearing upper.
DANNER DRY - 100% waterproof barrier allows moisture to escape without letting water in, keeping your feet dry and comfortable all day long.
LOCK & LOAD LACING SYSTEM - Reengineered ghilles across the forefoot for a secure, yet quiet fit, and locking speed hooks for quick lacing.
OPEN CELL POLYURETHANE FOOTBED - Danner's polyurethane footbed provides superior shock absorption with an additional layer of open cell construction for improved air circulation.
DANNER VITAL OUTSOLE - Multi-directional lugs provide grip on moss, rock and slick surfaces.
MESH LINED TONGUE CONSTRUCTION - Features a mesh liner layered over a waterproof membrane on the tongue to help regulate both moisture and temperature where it has the largest impact, on the top of your foot.
MULTI-DENSITY FOAM - A patterning of multi-density foam eliminates hot spots and pinch points for a more comfortable upper.
HOW IT FITS - This boot is built on Danner's DT4 last. This last provides an athletic fit with a tighter heel pocket and a wider toe box. The sleek, streamlined last is excellent for on or off trail hiking.
