When navigating slick rock scrambles or boggy trail passes, generic hiking trainers simply won’t cut it. Portland footwear pioneer Danner combines heritage mountain boot durability with modern athletic ergonomics in the Danner Men’s Mtn45 Mid GTX Boots (£270).

Finished in an understated “Bone Brown” colourway, these mid-height hiking boots offer unshakeable ankle support and waterproof protection for technical backcountry trekking.

* Outsole Assembly: Vibram Megagrip N45+ w/ 6mm Multi-Directional Lugs

Alpine Waterproofing & Tactical Upper Construction

The upper of the Mtn45 Mid GTX is constructed from soft, sanded nubuck leather that provides immediate out-of-the-box comfort without sacrificing long-term abrasion resistance.

To shield the leather against jagged gravel and muddy trail scuffs, Danner wrapped the entire perimeter in a heavy-duty TPU rand paired with a reinforced hard toe bumper.

Beneath the leather shell lies a fully integrated GORE-TEX waterproof membrane. This breathable liner seals out torrential downpours and deep puddles while allowing internal perspiration to escape, keeping your feet dry and comfortable through long days in unpredictable mountain weather.

Vibram Traction & Trail Cushioning

Underfoot, the Mtn45 is engineered to handle technical, loose terrain.

A high-traction Vibram Megagrip N45+ rubber outsole features aggressive 6mm multi-directional lugs that bite deep into wet rock, mud, and loose screen slopes.

“By pairing sanded nubuck leather and a GORE-TEX liner with a Vibram Megagrip outsole, Danner delivers an unshakeable mid-height boot built for technical mountain passes.”

For stability under a heavy trekking pack, an internal TPU shank and rock plate shield your soles from sharp stones, while an EnduroFoam Plus midsole cushions hard heel impacts over long descents.
