Here’s a universal law about modern hiking boots: They tend to prioritize function over fashion. This is for good reason: Who cares how your shoes look when you’re sweating up a craggy mountain switchback filled with rocks and roots? The main concern is not twisting an ankle when you’re eight miles out from the trailhead.
However, wouldn’t it be nice to have a pair of hiking combines quality with a touch of vintage coolness? A hiking boot that isn’t so… cookie-cutter? Imagine the kind of boots your grandfather would wear for a week-long adventure in the Sierra Nevadas, exploring places like Yosemite, Sequoia, or Lake Tahoe. The kind of boots that match those old Jeep Grand Wagoneers with wood-grain paneling on the exterior?

This year we’re embracing retro vibes in the outdoor world, and Huckberry’s new Danner Mountain Moc 917 moccasin boots are the perfect place to start. Huckberry teamed up with Oregon-based Danner to reinterpret Danner’s original 1960s Canoe Moc. The limited edition collab is now available to buy on Huckberry’s website.
These boots aren’t a mere reissue; they embody Danner’s heritage while offering an old-school aesthetic.
Since 1932, Danner has been crafting boots for timber workers and lumberjacks in the Pacific Northwest. If you’re serious about outdoor adventuring, Danner hiking boots are truly the best in the game. Designed for the toughest trails and terrain, the Oregon bootmaker’s commitment to quality is unsurpassed, crafted with GORE-TEX waterproof liners for harsh weather. Thanks to Danner’s Vibram 917 sole, these hiking boots are astonishingly comfortable and versatile, designed to keep their grip as a proper boot should on rugged terrain. The cushioned footbeds and breathable linings will make your feet feel like they’re sitting on a cloud.
And you know what? You deserve that kind of comfort after a long day of traversing.
But let’s be real: What sets the Huckberry x Danner Mountain Moc 917 apart is the vintage flair. They’re your grandfather’s hiking boots for that summer retreat to the mountains with modern comfort.
Finally: A pair of hiking boots worthy of a “what are those?!” compliment from strangers on the trail.
