Outdoorsmen know that hiking boots are a must for the natural, unpaved world, but they come with some stipulations—they can be heavy, bulky, and a little too wild-looking for the restaurants you want to hit right after a long trek. But Danner’s Jag Hiking Boots are all about style, channeling the parts fashion loves about the outdoors without sacrificing performance, and they just got marked down at REI.
Right now, the men’s Danner Jag Hiking Boots are on sale in the Bracken/Orion colorway for just $133—a 30% discount on the original price of $190. This is Danner’s most-reviewed hiking boot at REI, boasting nearly 250 five-star ratings from shoppers who love them for adventures both outside and inside.
Danner Jag Hiking Boots in Bracken/Orion, $133 (was $190) at REI 
The Danner Jag Hiking Boots are a lightweight, over-ankle, lace-up style. They employ Danner’s signature waterproof membrane that keeps water out while expelling perspiration to keep feet completely dry. They’ll also keep feet comfortable thanks to an OrthoLite footbed. The upper is made from a mix of durable suede and tough ripstop nylon to handle rock, bark, and sand. Underneath you’ll find a shock-absorbent foam midsole and a rubber waffle outsole with huge lugs. This pair of Danner hiking boots also comes with two additional sets of laces.
Many shoppers relish how stylish these boots are but are even more enthusiastic about how well they perform, and how quickly, too. “The Jags are comfortable to wear right out of the box; stylish, sturdy, supportive,” one shopper said. “This is a high-quality product from Danner and an excellent value. Jags work well for daily walks or extended hiking on trails.”
Extended hiking is right, and other shoppers have proven that the Danner Jags can hold up not just on multi-day trips over rough terrain, but also to high expectations. “I had Danners in the Marine Corps so I already knew that I wanted another pair before a big three-day hiking/camping excursion inside Maui’s majestic volcanic crater,” a shopper stated. “Happy to report that the Jags performed flawlessly! The first day was 10.3 miles, the second day an easy (but not so easy) 3.3, then 7.3 to exfil the third day. The terrain was gnarly, but I didn’t get one blister while others were hurting.”
Danner makes some of the most popular hiking boots for men, and that’s why at $133, the Danner Jag Hiking Boots are a steal. But since this colorway has been discontinued, once they’re gone, that’s it. If you need a new pair of hikers but want something you can wear into town right after, pick a pair of these up before sizes begin to sell out.
