Danner is a brand that knows a thing or two about making wilderness-ready footwear and when they team up with the guys at Huckberry the end result is always awesomeness. And so it has been proven once again with their latest collaboration – the Huckberry x Danner Mountain Moc 917. If you’re after some footwear that is just as comfortable on the hiking trail as the bar, you’ve just found the ideal candidate.

The Huckberry x Danner Mountain Moc 917 are available for $220 and comes in a stylish Bone Brown colourway that we’re loving here at The Coolector. It’s not a reissue; it’s a complete reinvention. In collaboration with Danner, Huckberry has modernised a classic 1960s moc to suit today’s standards. This updated version features a waterproof GORE-TEX liner, the renowned Danner Vibram 917 sole known for its sneaker-like feel, and a fully recraftable construction to ensure it lasts a lifetime.

Huckberry and Danner embarked on a journey to the past, specifically to the ’60s, to usher in a new era for the classic moc. After countless meetings, numerous samples, and years of development, the Mountain Moc 917 is finally ready for its debut. While it takes cues in colorway and silhouette from Danner’s original 1960s Canoe Moc, this modern iteration elevates the design with a waterproof GORE-TEX liner and the celebrated Danner Vibram 917 sole, renowned for its comfort akin to that of a sneaker.

Featuring a one-piece leather upper, the design effectively locks out debris and water, while its moc toe design pays homage to the original silhouette. It has been modernized with stitch down construction, offering a wider platform that enhances stability underfoot. A waterproof and breathable GORE-TEX liner ensures protection against rain, snow, and puddles, all while permitting sweat and moisture to escape for optimal comfort.

The inclusion of a removable Ortholite footbed, composed of three layers of open-cell polyurethane foam, guarantees maximum cushioning and support. Additionally, the lightweight Vibram® SPE midsole, crafted from rubberized EVA, significantly improves rebound, comfort, and support underfoot, making it a superior choice for enduring wear. The Vibram® 917 outsole, exclusively designed for Danner boots, incorporates their XS Trek® rubber, offering an optimal balance of durability and traction in wet conditions.

To further personalize your style, the boots come with two lace options. Additionally, these boots are eligible for Danner’s recrafting services, which encompass part replacement, leather care, and restitching, ensuring your boots can be maintained for prolonged use and wear.
