The shoes feature a classic suede upper, giving them the old-school hiking shoe look that Danner is known for. Mesh paneling and holes provide ample breathability while the EVA midsoles and removable OrthoLite footbeds provide cushioning and comfort. The shoes have Vibram outsoles for reliable traction on varied terrain, even when traversing wet ground. The TPU bumpers on the heel and toe offer protection from roots and rocks, while the TPU shank provides additional support.
Shoppers appreciated the shoe’s stylish versatility, especially as an alternative to hiking boots, with one calling them a “great lightweight hike shoe for trails or urban areas,” adding that they’re “way more comfortable than a heavy boot.” Another wrote, “I’ve had other brands that are good but this Danner pair has a great balance between support, flexibility, and style.”

Shoppers also appreciated the shoe’s performance over varied terrain. “Absolutely perfect hiking shoe for me," a shopper said. "Incredible grip, feels like walking [on] a cushion, even over rocks. Padded without being bulky at all and made incredibly well.” Similarly, another wrote, “I’ve had many hiking shoes/boots over the years from other top brands, but after purchasing this particular model, the Trail 2650, I doubt I’ll ever go back to wearing anything else.”
They also held up in different climates, according to one shopper who wore them all over the world. “This is my second pair of the Trail 2650," they said. "I wore my first pair on a trip to the foothills of the Andes Mountains in Ecuador. At home, I have hiked the Sawtooths and more in Idaho. Then, I went to Italy and hiked in the Dolomites with the same pair. I finally wore down the Vibram soles enough to get a new pair for my trip to South America later this month.”
If you’re looking for a pair of hiking shoes that can handle any terrain and look good in the city, too, Danner’s 2650 Hiking Shoe features the classic looks and durable features to get the job done. It’ll only be on sale until May 27, so get yours soon.
