These hiking boots hit just above the ankle and are made with a combination of durable leather and textile fabric. Inside, waterproof Gore-Tex membranes are built in to keep water out while allowing perspiration to escape, and OrthoLite footbeds offer ample cushioning underfoot. Everything sits on a shock-absorbing foam midsole and a Vibram Megagrip rubber outsole that works with the grippy multi-directional lug tread to keep you sure-footed over gravel, roots, and wet surfaces.

Shoppers who have worn these Danner hiking boots say they're one of the best choices you could make for wet hikes. "I tried these for a trip to Norway," a shopper began. "Norway is wet, steep, and rocky. These were incredible. My feet were dry and they were light and nimble, and the shank kept my feet happy over the stones. For big-mile day hikes, these are awesome! I have a narrow heel and bunions. These have room in the toe box but lock my heel in. With the exception of Lowa boots, these are unique in their ability to hold my heel and free my toes."

Others raved about the all-day comfort. "Best hiking boot I’ve owned," a shopper said. "So comfortable, like a running shoe with the support you want and need. Hiked many miles in these boots in Alaska and my feet never felt better. They were dry and comfortable the entire time."

If fall hiking is in your future, it pays to have a great boot with comprehensive Gore-Tex waterproofing to protect your feet against wet weather, and that's what Danner's Trail 2650 Mid GTX boots do. Make sure to grab your size soon, because when Danner boots go on sale, they don't stick around for long before selling out.
