**The award-winning, all-terrain boots that crush expectations and are handmade in Oregon**
It takes a whole damn lot to be a winner of *Outside Magazine’s* Gear of the Year award, and to no one’s surprise, Danner’s Crater Rim boots took home this prestigious accolade in 2012 for the best Trail Shoe category. Here’s what swayed *Outside Mag* and simultaneously made our footwear team keep ‘em in stock as often as possible—features a durable waterproof nubuck leather upper, a 360-degree abrasion-resistant Vibram rubber rand, a proven waterproof and breathable GORE-TEX liner. That’s only skimming the surface for why these are the best American-made backpacking boots on the market… Take our word for it, we’ve been trusting the trail-blazing powers of the Crater Rim for years, and we’re not about to stop.
