Danner Vital Trail 5" Boot

We’ve taken one of our most popular hunting styles and converted it into a rugged, all-terrain hiker. It’s a high-performance combination of light and fast technology from today’s best outdoor and athletic footwear with the durability and reliability Danner is built upon. The Vital Trail will get you where you need to be at the moment you need to be there.

LEATHER & TEXTILE UPPER

For a highly abrasion resistant upper, we combine durable leather with lightweight, abrasion-resistant textile panels.

Mesh Lining

Lightweight and breathable for total foot comfort.

REMOVABLE ORTHOLITE FOOTBED

Three layers of varying density are combined for maximum cushioning and support. The entire footbed is made of open-cell polyurethane for better heat dissipation and air circulation.

Danner PlyoGo Midsole

Ultra-lightweight EVA provides excellent cushioning with optimal weight savings.

VIBRAM® 460 OUTSOLE

Self-adapting lugs and Vibram’s specially formulated Megagrip compound provide long-wearing resilience with incredible grip on both wet and dry surfaces.

EXO Heel System

The lightweight EXO Heel System provides a comfortable, secure fit via an external heel counter.

Danner Trailguard

Lightweight and supportive, the Trailguard TPU shank provides stability and underfoot protection on rough, uneven terrain.

Dust Gaiter Compatible

This style is designed for use with a dust gaiter to keep debris out of your shoes while you’re on the trail.

HOW IT FITS

Inspired from trail running, the DT6 last features an 8mm offset from heel to toe with slightly more width in the forefoot for stability and a good-looking, everyday-wearable aesthetic.
