For more than 85 years, Danner has proven its worth to those that demand serious work boots. When it comes to rugged outdoor work, they know how to overbuild, but when it comes to indoor manufacturing needs they understand that sometimes less is more. The Black Belt gets its name from lean manufacturing practices and is built in their Portland, Ore. factory. Wearing more like a tennis shoe than a boot, the Black Belt is breathable, lightweight and comfortable right from the start. Available with safety options for ESD requirement and for those without. A lot has changed since 1932, but their commitment to making best-in-class work boots has not.
