Our Style, Fit Sizing Recommendations - This specific model features the EE Wider Fit , providing additional volume for those who find standard narrow hikers restrictive. - Built on a modified 650 last, these shoes offer a sleek profile while running true to size; the wider platform of the stitchdown construction enhances overall stability. - The Cascade colourway is a rich, warm tan that develops a unique patina over time, coordinating perfectly with navy, olive, and earthy tones. - Here at the store we recommend choosing your usual size, as the EE width provides the necessary room for thicker hiking socks without compromising the secure heel lock. Cleaning Care Instructions - Clean the suede uppers regularly using a specialized suede brush to remove surface dirt and maintain the nap of the leather. - Apply a Danner-approved water and stain repellent spray periodically to protect the suede and maintain the breathability of the GORE-TEX liner. - Avoid exposing the shoes to direct heat sources (like radiators) when drying, as this can cause the leather to stiffen and crack; always air dry naturally. - Use a damp cloth to wipe down the Vibram outsoles to maintain the oil-and-slip-resistant properties of the TC4T compound. - For long-term maintenance, utilize Danner’s recrafting service to resole or repair the stitchdown construction, significantly extending the life of the shoes. Our Danner Trail Field ID Low GTX FAQs - Is the GORE-TEX liner hot in summer? While the GORE-TEX is breathable, these are optimized for mild to cool weather. The open-cell OrthoLite footbed helps with heat dissipation to keep you comfortable during active use. - What does "EE Wider Fit" mean? Most Danner heritage styles run narrow; the EE fit provides extra width in the toe box and midfoot for a more accommodating and comfortable feel for wider feet. - Can I really have these resoled? Yes, the stitchdown construction is specifically designed so that the outsole can be replaced by a professional cobbler or Danner’s own recrafting team. - Is the suede durable enough for trails? Absolutely. LWG Gold-rated suede is a heavy-duty material, and when treated correctly, it provides excellent abrasion resistance for light hiking.
