Danner Footwear Updated with Tektite, Melee, DFA and Kinetic
We just updated our Danner footwear line, adding all of their newest styles along with their Hiking, Hunting and Work boots.
Here is a breakdown of some of their new styles:
Danner Tektite Work Boot / Sneaker Hybrid
Danner approached the Tektite design as a challenge to find synergy between the fit of a sneaker and the strength of a work boot. Their realization came in two forms; the lightweight EXO® platform design and the lightweight, highly breathable and abrasion resistant strength of Superfabric®.
Challenging themselves to craft a boot with the lightweight performance of a sneaker, Danner developed the unique EXO platform system and wrapped it in thermoplastic polyurethane for durability and extra comfort. Integrated with our DT4 last, the Tektite provides a highly responsive, low profile athletic fit.
Understanding the need to develop a unity between strength and breathability, Danner engineered a way to craft the boot upper out of a Super Fabric® material which provides extreme abrasion resistant strength in a highly breathable form and then lined it with GORE-TEX® XCR which was engineered for added comfort and breathability while providing the same waterproof protection.
Danner Melee Tactical Boot
Danner’s lightest and most flexible tactical boot, the Melee features a unique outsole design. Their unique Melee outsole is constructed with a 360˚ pentagonal low lug pattern for grip in all directions, a rugged outer lug pattern with molded siping that disperses water and provides maximum surface contact and Danner’s patent pending VIA technology which provides a V-4 abrasion rubber compound in the medial side arch for fast roping control.
