The N45 — Danner’s first recraftable breathable hiker — is a do-it-all hiker that packs sturdy, hiking boot support into a lightweight, sneaker-like package. Built with a Vibram Megagrip outsole, an energy-returning EnduroFoam midsole and the optional GORE-TEX Invisible Fit liner, the N45 family finds a home in all seasons. Available in men’s and women’s Low and Mid height options.
Nimble as it is tough, Danner’s N45 family is built to go the distance on trail, mile after mile. Known for its versatility, the original N45 made waves for being Danner’s first recraftable breathable hiker, meaning when you wear out the Vibram Megagrip outsole, run down the EnduroFoam midsole or need a general refurbish, Danner has you covered. Available in a GTX version for waterproof protection and a non-waterproof version to maximize breathabilty, the N45 your next all-in-one adventure shoe.
