If it’s the great outdoors that you’re looking for experts in, both Danner and Filson are amongst the best in the business and their adventure-ready gear is the stuff of legend. So, when they teamed up on these Trail 2650 Mid Boots, you know the quality is going to be second to none and, safe to say, they don’t disappoint. From the rugged logging camps of Oregon to the challenging terrains of the Yukon Gold Rush, Danner and Filson have been kitting out the adventure inclined with unbeatable gear for generations and these traits shine through in this first-class footwear collab.

The Danner X Filson Trail 2650 Mid Boots are available for the great price of $218 and this excellent collaboration between two of the Pacific Northwest’s most reputable bands sees a brand new, lightweight, waterproof hiking boot that has been purpose-built to blaze new trails and old with unparalleled comfort and steadfast robustness. Long story short, if you’re heading on a challenging hike, this is the sort of footwear you’ll want upon your feet. They strike the perfect balance between lightweight performance and heritage-inspired design and we’re big fans of the understated yet impactful aesthetic of these boots here at Coolector HQ.

Each pair is crafted from full-grain leather, a co-branded tongue label and outer detailing and the Trail 2650 Mid Boots celebrates the collaboration of two beloved Pacific Northwest brands. When coming up with the Danner x Filson Trail 2650 Mid, both brands envisioned a lightweight option that still stuck to both their strict durability benchmarks—and the unforgiving rigours of the great outdoors. The 2650 Boot meets (and exceeds) that standard. The ultra-lightweight EVA foam midsole delivers the cushioning you demand while reducing the weight.

The midsole of these boots is formed around a TPU shank that protects your feet on any uncertain terrain and ensures impressive torsional strength. This process maximises weight savings and maintains protection, stability and robustness day in, day out. It’s hard not to be impressive by the Trail 2650 Mid Boots from Danner and Filson and they are made with waterproof, breathable GORE-TEX that helps to keep water out and allows moisture to vent. An extra inch of height around the ankle delivers that extra protection and added stability that’s a must – especially in the winter months. With comfortable feet, you can focus on exploration without distraction. What’s not to like?
