The original Danner jag debuted in the ’80S as a lightweight alternative to our classic, heavy-duty hiking boots. After a few years on the trail Supporting external frame backpacks and complementing denim cut-offs, the jag was retired. Now 30 years later, we’ve reintroduced the jag as a more versatile version of its former self. It’s comfortable both on the trail and around town, and incorporates durable, lightweight materials, a cushioning eva midsole, and a new waffle outsole that adapts to a wide variety of terrain. We’re proud to reintroduce this Danner original.
