See Now, Buy Now: These Rugged Danner Boots are Exclusive to Huckberry — Get Your Pair Now

Danner men's boots review.

It seems that as we roll into the autumn months in earnest, there’s never been a better time to amp up your rotation of the best boots for men (and the best autumn style for men, period), ehh? It’s a topic we’ve covered frequently in the past few days, weeks and months on this Brooklyn style blog, but today’s entry into the menswear pantheon might be the best one yet: It’s an exclusive offering from the good folks at Huckberry, masters of the best rugged menswear and gear for guys.

And yet again, they’ve tapped their Pacific Northwest partners at Danner for a run of boots (quite literally, a run of boots from the Danner Bull Run Collection) that just so happens to be exclusive to Huckberry. Didn’t I say there had never been a better time to upgrade your boots rotation?

And the Huckberry x Danner Bull Run Exclusive Collection features two options to step things up in rugged, durable fashion: There’s a particularly hard-wearing moc toe option, but the Huckberry x Danner Bull Run Lux Chelsea Boots are my personal favorite, and the pair we’ll be diving into today (pay attention, class!).

Step things up this season with the enviable construction of the Huckberry x Danner Bull Run Lux Chelsea Boots — Danner goes all out with USA-made construction and the brand’s trademark wedge outsole for rebound, support, traction and comfort (yes, they can do all of those things… and more, I’d wager). The Huckberry x Danner Bull Run Lux Chelsea Boots also get the small details absolutely correct, including a hand-painted heel counter edge, along with exclusive Huckberry deboss detailing on the heel.

The upper is fashioned from a hard-wearing oiled suede, the kind of fabrication that Western frontiersmen would have used in days gone by. Huckberry also tells it best by noting that “in addition to resisting dirt, moisture, and scrapes, the upper will take on a unique patina as you wear it,” and that’s something I’d work on right away (developing that patina, that is).

If you ask me, the Huckberry x Danner Bull Run Lux Chelsea Boots can be worn just about any rugged way you please, be that with olive chinos and a light blue chambray shirt, a thermal henley and a shawl cardigan or dark blue jeans and a trusty pocket tee-plus-waxed-trucker jacket combination — luckily, you can find a new slew of style favorites to complement the Huckberry x Danner Bull Run Lux Chelsea Boots online at your favorite retailer.

In my experience with Huckberry and Danner boots, the performance, style and rugged utility are must-haves for your winter footwear rotation. Here, it’s the best of both worlds (or the best of every world as you scour the market for premium footwear).

This ultra-special, eye-catching collaboration — with a color inspired by the western Gold Rush — takes shape via the Danner Mountain GTX, a durable, super-comfortable set of hiking boots in their own right. They’re waterproof and lined in Gore-Tex for performance on and off the trail, while a springy, rebound-focused Vibram® Kletterlift Thin outsole delivers traction and all-day comfort.

That’s far from the only special features these boots are built with, my friends. The Huckberry x Danner Mountain 600 GTX Boots boast waterproof suede across the upper, with hits of contrasting brown rubber (including a mud guard). Classic speed hook lacing keeps with Danner’s tradition of crafting some of the best hiking boots on the market, yet these get a sneaker boot-esque lift from that Vibram outsole.

See Now, Buy Now: The Huckberry x Danner Mountain Moc Boots Are Perfect for Early Spring

Huckberry x Danner boots.

‘Tis the season to…lace ’em up some of the best new boots for men and get out there, is it not? That’s certainly the case in my neck of the woods, and in my experience, you know exactly where to go to give your footwear game a refresh. Of course, that would be Huckberry, a longtime favorite and a retailer that knows that gear gets the job done.

And fittingly enough, they’ve once again teamed up with Danner for a new Huckberry x Danner collaboration that might be the coolest yet between the heritage bootmaker and everyone’s favorite rugged, versatile gear retailer. You very well might remember the Huckberry x Danner Vertigo 917 Gold Rush Boots, which fused sporty appeal and sneakerboot style with a hiking boot silhouette, but the latest and greatest ups the ante even further.

Best moc toe boots for men.

The Huckberry x Danner 917 Mountain Moc Boots fuse the best of the past with the best of the present, and that’s an understatement. These boots draw inspiration from Danner’s 1960s moc toe boots, but they’re then brought forward into the 21st century with a durable, springy Vibram outsole and a GORE-TEX liner.

They also boast handsome accents of brown leather alongside suede, with three-eyelet moc toe construction for casually cool, rugged appeal — whether paired with stretch light wash jeans or olive chinos from Huckberry.

Those both translate to durability, comfort and plenty of cushioning, plus a stay-dry quality that spring demands when it comes to the best boots for men. It’s a hybrid style with the best qualities of a moc toe boot, as well as a sneakerboot, and that’s something your footwear wardrobe could surely use this spring. Remember, the Huckberry x Danner 917 Mountain Moc Boots are a limited-edition offering, and if they’re anything like past Huckberry x Danner collabs, they’re sure to sell out sooner rather than later.

In fact, this partnership first launched in early 2019, and sold out quickly (to say the least). Now, the Huckberry x Danner Gold Rush Boots are back and better than ever — and selling quickly once again.

Style Pick of the Week: Danner x Huckberry Mountain Pass Gold Rush Boots

Outstandingly rugged and versatile leather boots from Huckberry and Danner, yet again.

Call me crazy, but to me, there’s never been a better time to buy some of the best men’s hiking boots. Why’s that? Well, even for a guy like me — with only nearby nature trails around in Brooklyn — summer is still one of the best times to go hiking. What’s more, it’s a great time to  break out all your summer style essentials in a socially distanced-yet-rugged fashion, hence, the best hiking boots you see here today.  Crucially, the Danner x Huckberry Mountain Pass Gold Rush Boots carry on the wildly successful (and fast-selling!) Danner x Huckberry partnership, blending rugged functionality with interminably cool style and long-lasting dependability. What that means is that these Huckberry x Danner boots are going to last you past summer and into fall and winter with ease, quite possibly making them some of the best men’s boots in your rotation … period. With the kind of history and quality that only Danner can bring to the table, these rugged leather hiking boots are yet another gem to add to your list of style essentials from Huckberry (they’re selling fast though, so be sure to check out other hiking boots from Huckberry as needed).

Details help separate these boots from the rest of your rotation.

As one would hope with some of the best men’s hiking boots out there, these boots channel historical style inspiration to go along with the sort of modern functionality we all need these days. For starters, these rugged leather boots are so named because of, well, the gold rush that led frontiersmen to settle in Huckberry’s hometown of San Francisco (and the rich leather has a nice golden color to it, as well). It gets better, though — these Danner x Huckberry hiking boots update the Mountain Pass silhouette, a staple of the super-premium Portland Select line crafted by these Northwest footwear artisans. Add to that the Vibram outsole for flexibility and comfort, top it off with full-grain leather to break in nicely over time, then lace it all up with striking burgundy laces for some of the most classic hiking boots you ever did see. Last but certainly not least, these are topped off with a GORE-TEX lining for the utmost in standout construction — they’re a USA-made pair of leather boots, through and through. Do the Danner x Huckberry Mountain Pass Gold Rush Boots check all the right boxes? They assuredly do, and then some. Get yourself a pair while you still can.

The Friday Read: New York Fashion Week, Huckberry x Danner & Revtown Denim

Lace up your boots and hit the road this weekend.

Now, the question on your mind today should be: What stylish leather boots am I going to wear this weekend? And where will they take you? When you lace up a pair of boots like the Thorogood Dodgeville Boots, you can really go just about anywhere on this fine February weekend. So, let’s get down to business. We’re capping off a busy whirlwind of a week here in NYC — things really took off in earnest on Monday, as I attended New York Men’s Day, an initiative designed to showcase emerging designers as part of New York Fashion Week (one of my favorite times of year, assuredly!). Things kept rolling with a busy double bill on Monday night, as lauded American menswear designer Todd Snyder (my menswear hero!) showed his excellent Fall/Winter 2019 collection to kick off NYFW. Naturally, the evening was followed by quite the afterparty!

Other activities throughout the week included the Grungy Gentleman Fall/Winter 2019 runway show, a collection of athleisure-heavy, sport-inspired gear blended with tailoring (think French terry blazers and slim jogger sweatpants). It’s with all of that behind me that I’m very much looking toward a relaxing weekend in Brooklyn and Manhattan. On the docket for me — besides quite a few cups of coffee and some tasty craft brews — is a concert by NYC indie singer-songwriter Sharon Van Etten, in support of her excellent January album “Remind Me Tomorrow” — the fact that it’s taking place on Saturday, and at the historic Upper West Side Beacon Theatre is icing on the cake! So, that’s the rundown of things in my neck of the woods. I’ve got some more menswear writing to do in the meantime, but for now, enjoy the best men’s style news of the week.

  • Stop searching for your next pair of denim — I think I found it, and I think they come from Revtown. I covered this versatile, durable denim brand (based in the Rust Belt cities of Pittsburgh and Baltimore) for The Manual, so you’d do well to dive into why the brand is making your new favorite pair of jeans.
  • It’s never too late to start the hunt for the best sneakers for spring — just like the pair I wrote about recently! Grab the Huckberry Vintage Trainers now, then keep them handy when it warms up!
  • Speaking of the best new menswear, I’d urge you to act quickly — very, very quickly — to get a pair of the excellent new Huckberry x Danner Vertigo 917 Goldrush Boots, which I wrote about for Effortless Gent last month. As great as it gets for winter, assuredly!

Still not finished with your pre-weekend reading or shopping? We’ve got just what the doctor ordered — start with the best new chukka boots to buy now. Or, keep things cozy and laidback with a classic henley from Faherty Brand. Last but not least, go for rugged, classic style with the Todd Snyder x Champion line and the Todd Snyder x Champion Crewneck Sweatshirt. That’s all I’ve got for you today — cheers & enjoy the weekend!
