My father Bill Crary is the son of Bill Danner (adopted after his dad was killed in the Korean War; that's why the last name is different) and my father ran the Danner factory until 1978 when he left to start his own custom made shoe/boot factory in Portland, Oregon. You can now find our boots in Japan and recently featured in select Japanese magazines like Mono, Huge, Best Gear, and 2nd. We actually hand cut all the leather, hand last our boots, use leather insole material we import from England (not some cardboard derivative), upper leathers we import from Norway, full vegetable tanned leather linings, leather middle soles, ect, ect. We seek out the very best of everything and it shows in our boots. I will agree; our website leaves something to be desired but our handmade boots more than make up for it. Currently we only sell our boots in the US as custom made (no sizes) but this year we will begin selling sizes in the US. Please keep an eye out. Best, Nathan Crary Hi All,

I assume there is a Danner JP office branch that handles design/distribution, with production "outsourced" to the headquarters.

I am a Japanese citizen and live in Japan, owe a clothing operation. Yes, I think Danner JP is a license. Probably, a Japanese company(a big trading company or somethin) bought the license from Danner US and made a shoe factory manufacture boots here in Japan. (I guess they are made in Japan.) The company, which bought the license designs the style but most likely they use American traditional way, such as Postman or Irish Setter like. They do that `cause Americans do not make old school shoes, boots or style any more. And only way we can find old design will be finding vintage one. But they are collectable and expensive. Also Japanese customs have some kind of quota. Another word, we can import brand new leather shoes and boots(leather products except hides) a certain numbers for a year.(It`s very complicated, and I don`t know exact.) It`s not bizarre at all. We have made in Japan Fender Telecaster, Coke is canned in Japan by Coca Cola Japan, Lucky Strike is made by JT, Japan Tabbaco. Hey, Asahi and Sapporo in US is brewed in Canda and Kirin is made by Anheuser Buch!! Andrew! I am a Japanese citizen and live in Japan, owe a clothing operation. Yes, I think Danner JP is a license.

I mean I love the vintage aesthetic of old boots, but it's getting a little ridiculous. It's always the newjack hipsters that end up killing a look for another decade or two until it become uncool again.

Great product. Thought about selling them on eBay but when I consider how much I paid for them (more than $500 in 2000), I figure when they finally give up the ghost I'll have them bronzed.
