Double-shift ready, supervisor approved.
For more than 85 years, Danner has proven its worth to those that demand serious work boots. When it comes to rugged outdoor work, we know how to overbuild, but when it comes to indoor manufacturing needs we understand that sometimes less is more. The Black Belt gets its name from lean manufacturing practices and is built in our 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 our commitment to making best-in-class work boots has not.
- Full-Grain Leather & Textile Upper
- For a highly abrasion resistant upper, we combine our premium full-grain leather with durable water repellent (DWR) treated nylon panels.
- Mesh Lining
- Lightweight and breathable for total foot comfort.
- Non-Metallic Hardware
- 100% metal free hardware.
- Composite Toe (NMT)
- Our composite toe is non-metallic, does not transmit heat or cold, nor will it set off metal detectors. As expected, it meets or exceeds ASTM F2413-11 M I/75 C/75 SD standards.
- ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) Footwear
- Static dissipative footwear is designed to reduce the accumulation of excess static electricity by conducting body charge to the ground while maintaining a high enough level of electrical resistance.
- Removable OrthoLite Footbed
- Three layers of varying density are combined for maximum cushioning and support. The entire footbed is made of open-cell polyurethane for better heat dissipation and air circulation.
- EVA Midsole
- Known for its lightweight properties, EVA is a special polymer that provides excellent cushioning.
- Danner Black Belt Outsole
- Oil-and-slip-resistant rubber provides superior traction and durability.
- How It Fits
- Based on one of our most popular lasts, the DPDX2 has a low profile for everyday wear. Whether on the job or on the trail, this last was built to offer enough room for comfort while maintaining a sleek profile across all styles.
- 365-Day Warranty
