Danner Men's Logger Soft Toe Waterproof Work Boot - Black - 15431

A Classic Logger Without the Classic Logger Weight

It's all there: the silhouette of the classic logger heel, the stability of stitchdown construction, and the strength of rich leather. The only thing missing is the weight you'd expect from a boot of this caliber. The Danner Logger brings a new level of lightweight comfort and flexibility to the traditional logger platform.

Key Features of the Danner Logger 8" 15431

• Nubuck Oiled Leather Upper: Top-grain, velvet-like nubuck, oiled to improve water resistance — extremely durable, with a shorter, more comfortable break-in period.
• Waterproof Danner® Dry Liner: A 100% waterproof barrier keeps water out while letting moisture escape, for all-day dry comfort.
• Bi-Fit Board: Combines the shank, lasting board, and midsole into a single molded piece, cutting significant weight from the boot without sacrificing support.
• Vibram® 360° Logger Outsole: Substantial edging and superior traction, with a 90-degree heel for added safety on steep terrain and equipment.
• 607 Last: An industry-standard logger fit that runs true to size, with a broad, deep toe box for extra volume in the forefoot and toe.
• Electrical Hazard (EH) Rated: Non-conductive soles help protect against electrical shock in dry conditions, meeting ASTM F2892 for plain-toe footwear.
• Stitchdown Construction: A handcrafted, wider platform for stability underfoot.

Lightweight by Design, Not by Accident

Traditional logger boots lean on a heavy metal shank buried in a thick rubber midsole. The Danner Logger breaks from that with Bi-Fit technology — pairing the shank, lasting board, and midsole into one molded structure that's light and flexible without giving up support.

A Fit Note on Recrafting

This boot is eligible for Danner's boot stretch, basic, and resole recrafting packages.
