If your idea of “mountain climbing” is navigating the steep stairs of a trendy rooftop bar, the Danner Mountain 600 ID GTX ($250) has you covered. These boots pack serious Pacific Northwest tech into a silhouette that doesn’t scream “I live in a yurt.”
Weighing just 32oz, they feature a waterproof suede upper and a GORE-TEX lining—perfect for puddle-jumping or spilled IPAs. With a Vibram Megagrip outsole that clings to wet surfaces like a desperate ex, and a triple-layer Ortholite footbed, they’re basically clouds for your feet. Classic style, modern comfort, zero blisters.
