Key Features and Technologies
Waterproof Breathable GORE-TEX Construction
The Danner Crater Rim features a GORE-TEX liner that delivers 100% waterproof protection while allowing moisture to escape. This breathable barrier keeps feet dry and comfortable, even in the wettest conditions, making these boots a reliable choice for all-weather hiking.
Durable Nubuck Leather Upper
Crafted from top-grain nubuck leather, the upper is durable and offers a quicker break-in period than traditional full-grain leather. The smooth, velvet-like texture enhances the boot's comfort while facing rough, abrasive terrain.
360-Degree Abrasion Resistance
A thick Vibram® rubber rand wraps around the boot, providing 360-degree protection from rocks, roots, and other trail hazards. This feature significantly extends the lifespan of the Danner Crater Rim GTX boots, making them ideal for tough outdoor adventures.
Superior Traction and Secure Fit
Vibram Bifida Outsole
The Vibram Bifida outsole ensures superior traction on varied terrains. Its deep lugs and specialized rubber compound provide excellent grip for ascents and descents, ensuring reliable footing in rugged environments.
Lace-to-Toe Design for a Secure Fit
The lace-to-toe design allows for a highly adjustable fit, ensuring the boots conform snugly to your foot. This prevents slippage inside the boot, reducing the risk of blisters and discomfort during long hikes.

Despite its rugged construction, the Danner Crater Rim 6 brown boot is designed for comfort. Built on the 610 last, it provides a snug fit through the heel and ample toe room, offering versatile support for various foot shapes and sizes.
