The USMC relies on the Danner 8 “ RAT Combat Boot and so should you if quality and reliability are more important than price and weight. Danner is respected as the premier combat boot manufacturer worldwide using the stitchdown welt construction design. The stitchdown welt process involves sewing a strip of leather between the edge of the combat boot outsole and the turned in edge of the combat boot upper. The stitchdown welt creates a substantial platform when one is traversing uneven terrain packing heavy loads of 50 LBS or greater. These boots will conform to the unique shape of your foot and get more comfortable with each mile. The Danner RAT is designed for toughness, stability and versatility. They convey durability and reliability right out of the box and you will be Gung Ho to put them on and lace them up for your mission.

The Danner RAT 15620 Boots do not feature a Gore-Tex lining so they should be comfortable in warm climates. We suggest adding a good wool sock and a polypropylene sock liner for comfort in extreme cold environments. The Vibram 360 Outsole with Dri Ice offers year around mobility, breaking and acceleration in all terrains and climates. The Dri Ice feature prevents the outsole from contracting in frigid climates. The Danner RAT Boots will provide years of comfortable and dependable wear. If you wear out your Vibram Outsoles no need to throw the boot away – just send them back to Danner and have a new sole sewn on. The stitchdown welt construction makes resoling easy.

Overall the Danner RAT is a great looking combat boot that is overbuilt to provide years of reliable rugged wear.

The RAT represents the toughest boot components in the world all stitched together to create one ultra-rugged war boot. 1000 Denier nylon, full-grain nubuc, and reinforced leather overlays create a fortress of protection and support. Underneath, you'll find Vibram 360 outsoles with Dri Ice for unrivaled flexibility and traction in frigid condition. There's nothing the RAT can't handle.
