Danner Men’s Modern Firefighter 8″ in Black Composite Toe (NMT)

For those who protect our wilderness

Our all-new Modern Firefighter combines the supportive benefits of an alpine hiker with the stringent standards of an NFPA-certified boot. Featuring polishable, full-grain leather and a waterproof Danner Dry lining, the boot is built to live up to the rigorous demands of our wildland firefighters. The durable, Vibram S587 outsole is specially designed for oil-and-slip-resistant traction over rugged and high-angle terrain.
