For footwear enthusiasts who prize both heritage aesthetics and modern performance, the Huckberry x Danner Mountain Moc 917 offers an exciting new option. This boot, the result of a years-long collaboration between the two brands, takes inspiration from Danner's iconic 1960s Canoe Moc but injects it with a contemporary twist.
Maintaining the timeless silhouette and stitchwork that made the Canoe Moc a favorite, the Mountain Moc 917 boasts a premium upgrade in materials. The upper is crafted from waterproof suede, ensuring durability and protection from the elements. This is further bolstered by a GORE-TEX liner, a material renowned for its ability to keep feet dry while allowing sweat to escape.
The most significant departure from the original lies in the sole. Replacing the traditional construction is Danner's revered Vibram 917 sole. This technological marvel has garnered a loyal following for its unmatched comfort, likened to that of a favorite pair of sneakers. The Vibram 917 achieves this through a combination of a supportive midsole and a grippy outsole, offering both stability and traction on various terrains.
This focus on comfort extends beyond the sole. The Mountain Moc 917 features a removable Ortholite footbed, known for its cushioning and arch support. This allows wearers to personalize their experience by replacing the insole with a custom option if desired.
The result of this collaboration is a boot that seamlessly blends timeless design with modern technology. The Mountain Moc 917 retains the classic appeal of the Canoe Moc while offering the superior comfort and performance demanded by today's outdoor enthusiasts.
Whether navigating city streets or venturing off the beaten path, the Huckberry x Danner Mountain Moc 917 promises a stylish and comfortable experience.
