Danner MTN45 Mid GTX Hiking Boot - Men's Smoky Olive, 8.0

"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""The MTN45 Mid GTX Hiking Boot is what I reach for when the route is serious, and I need a boot that won't let me down. The EnduroFoam Plus midsole has a noticeably energetic feel for a hiking boot, the GORE-TEX Invisible Fit keeps moisture out without that stiff crinkly sensation, and the Vibram N45 Plus outsole grips confidently on wet rock and loose trail alike. The fact that it can be resoled down the road makes it an easy long-term investment.""The Danner MTN45 Mid GTX Hiking Boot is built for the kind of days where the trail asks a lot, and the boot has to answer. Technical terrain, unpredictable weather, and long mileage are exactly what this boot was designed around, and it shows in every detail from the waterproof construction to the energy-returning midsole. The GORE-TEX Invisible Fit lining seals out moisture with a lightweight, flexible feel that never gets in the way of natural foot movement, keeping feet dry and comfortable across stream crossings and storm-soaked approaches alike. EnduroFoam Plus brings a nitrogen-infused supercritical foam midsole that delivers high energy return on a wider, thicker platform than conventional hiking boot foam. That translates to a noticeably lively, cushioned feel that holds up over long days without packing out. A TPU rockplate protects against sharp terrain underfoot, while the OrthoLite footbed adds another layer of cushioned comfort. The exclusive Vibram N45 Plus outsole with Megagrip compound and Traction Lug technology bites into wet and dry surfaces with equal confidence, and a PU-coated leather mud guard adds abrasion resistance where the boot takes the most punishment. Built to be resoled and reconditioned, the MTN45 Mid GTX Hiking Boot is a trail partner that earns its place in the gear room for years to come."
