DANNER MELEE 6" GTX

Whether you spend your time in the bush or the concrete jungle, quality footwear is a necessity for those constantly on the move. Optimizing footwear for one or the other often means sacrificing the benefits of the other, which can be a pain... Literally. Danner has bridged that gap, offering the benefits of a durable, waterproof boot that aims for the lightweight comfort and mobility of a running shoe. Say hello to the Melee 6” GTX. The 6” high full grain leather upper offers good ankle support and rugged durability for everyday use, including abrasion resistive toe and heel caps to help prevent unsightly scuffs. The boots are lined with GORE-TEX, making them 100% waterproof while maintaining all important breath-ability. The Melee outer-sole provides excellent grip in all directions, working to maximize foot contact with the ground at all times. Unlike other boots with flatter outer-soles, the Melee provides greater comfort for walking or running while employing a EVA mid-sole to absorb the shock instead of your knees. At just over 2.5lbs, they're Danner's lightest and most versatile boots. We have to agree. At roughly $190, they can be found at a number of retail and online locations.
