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).

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.
