Huckberry x Danner Logger Moc 917 Boot

In 1936, Charles Danner moved to Oregon and began crafting sturdy, high-quality boots for the Pacific Northwest’s loggers. The Logger 917 is a modern update of his original design. This boot has a full-grain leather upper patterned after the traditional look, and GORE-TEX means waterproof protection. An optional lace kiltie keeps mud and debris out from between the laces. Vibram® SPE midsole and Vibram® 917 sole ensure lasting comfort and sure footing no matter where you roam.
