I’m just a regular guy that likes the outdoors and likes to share his experience with gear that’s made his adventures more memorable. I just like yourself was once on the search for the perfect pair of hiking boots “I’ve always struggled with finding comfortable shoes as I have a wide, weird, mild bunion and beat up feet but once I tried the Trail 2650 I feel like I had to tell others. Now Danner does offer these Boots in Regular Fit and in Wide and although my feet are wide their wide fit was just a tad too big for my feet so I went with the regular and my feet thanked me.

Specs that Sold ME

Outsole: This has to be where these Boots shine!! These Boots are equipped with Vibram’s rugged outsole which offers excellent traction and grip, ensuring stability on various terrains. This is definitely where the engineering of these boots shine, the self adapting Lugs do a great job on various terrains from wet to dry surfaces “Vibram’s MegaGrip has your back”. The grip in these boots brings out the child in me when It comes to skipping rocks, climbing rocks and exploring the outdoors.  These boots were designed with hikers in mind, and will give you the confidence to conquer any trail.

Weatherproof: 

The combination of full-grain leather and breathable mesh ensures durability and comfort throughout your entire hike. But it’s not just about durability. The Danner 2650 GTX Mid features a Gore-Tex lining, providing superior waterproofing and breathability. So whether you’re crossing a shallow stream or trekking through rain-soaked trails, your feet stay dry and comfortable.
