Process: Danner Boots

Since 1932, Danner has been proving that regardless of the economy or circumstances, superior craftsmanship matters. Long known for making work boots — the military, law enforcement, construction workers, and miners among their customers — the company also makes the best hiking boots you can find. Located along the Columbia River, the Danner factory is home to both new-age technology and old-world craftsmanship. Priding themselves in creating a product that's guaranteed to stand the test of time — no matter the activity — it is a place you can see first hand why they have stuck to their claim. Continuing their appreciation for the the Pacific Northwest, they launched the Stumptown Collection. With the entire collection crafted in Portland, they pay homage to explorers and adventurers with these American-heritage inspired silhouettes. It only then seemed fitting why we teamed up to create the Danner x Uncrate Mountain Light Boots to take with us on our travels. Shuffle through this gallery at the making of the boots, and see why you're not just buying a boot, but an investment in a company that has made the best product in their category for over 80 years.
