Vital

Weather changes, terrain varies, and sometimes you find yourself traveling further afield than planned - the Vital is designed for the unknown and the unexpected. Light, fast, aggressive, yet stealthy. Let your feet help you disappear into your environment.

Abrasion-Resistant Leather & Textile Upper:

A specialized process is used to impregnate split leather with polyurethane to create an exceptionally durable and abrasion resistant leather. We've paired the leather with 900 denier polyester to create a hard-wearing upper.

Danner Dry:

100% waterproof barrier allows moisture to escape without letting water in, keeping your feet dry and comfortable all day long.

Lock & Load Lacing System:

Reengineered ghilles across the forefoot for a secure, yet quiet fit, and locking speed hooks for quick lacing.

Open Cell Polyurethane Footbed:

Our polyurethane footbed provides superior shock absorption with an additional layer of open cell construction for improved air circulation.

Danner Plyolite® midsole:

Danner® Plyolite® midsole offers lightweight comfort and shock absorption.

Danner Vital Outsole:

Multi-directional lugs provide grip on moss, rock and slick surfaces.

Mesh Lined Tongue Construction:

Features a mesh liner layered over a waterproof membrane on the tongue to help regulate both moisture and temperature where it has the largest impact, on the top of your foot.

Multi-Density Foam:

A patterning of multi-density foam eliminates hot spots and pinch points for a more comfortable upper.

How It Fits:

This boot is built on our DT4 last. This last provides an athletic fit with a tighter heel pocket and a wider toe box. The sleek, streamlined last is excellent for on or off trail hiking.
