DANNER hails from Portland, Oregon -established in 1932. by a Charles Danner who believed superior craftsmanship, matters "regardless of the economy."
Inspired by the workbooks of loggers in the Pacific northwest, the Stumptown collection of lace-ups are exactingly made quality leather and Gore-Tex® linings- and judging by the store locater on the website-sold in sporting goods and hipster stores alike ($280-$360, average).
