DANNER EXPANDS WOMEN'S COLLECTION WITH DANNER LIGHT CASCADE

Portland, Ore. - Following the success of the Mountain Light Cascade, which starred alongside Reese Witherspoon in the 2014 Fox Searchlight Film, Wild, Danner’s Fall/Winter 2015 Stumptown collection debuts the latest women’s release – the Danner Light Cascade. Built in the midst of the golden age of backpacking, the original Danner Light was designed to be durable, rugged and stable on any terrain. The new Danner Light Cascade holds true to these same principles while offering classic, outdoor style – from city to summit.

“We are thrilled to expand the women’s collection this season with the launch of the Danner Light Cascade,” said Chris Wojnar, Director of Product Line Management for Danner. “This boot is unique in that it is equally as fashionable for everyday use as it is sturdy and functional on the trail.”

Built in Danner’s Portland, Ore. factory, the Danner Light Cascade is constructed with a water resistant, full-grain leather upper, 1000 Denier nylon side panels, and Dri-Lex® lining; all of which provide additional protection from the elements. The recraftable boots feature a Vibram® Kletterlift outsole and Danner’s handcrafted stitchdown construction for lasting durability and support.
