the CLASSIC DANNER LIGHT – check LTG SHOE & BOOT COLLECTION #15 from august 2012 – is my favorite hiking boot. i own this boot since 5 years and i do not only love the comfort but the old school look too. yesterday i found a low cut version of my DANNER LIGHT @ THREE WOOD, japan, – wonderful. this hiking “shoe“ named DANNER LIGHT III LOW is available in three color ways. the III LOW features the same benefits as the boot: full-grain, leather upper, PLUS 100% waterproof and breathable GORE-TEX®, vibram KLETTERLIFT sole, brass eyelets and hooks, nylon laces gold/tan colored, cushioned footbed, leather welt, made in the USA. seems to be again a japan special.

LIFE TIME GEAR BOOT & SHOE COLLECTION | 15 | CLASSIC DANNER LIGHT
one of my all-time favorites: DANNER’s CLASSIC LIGHT. for me this lace-to-toe boot is a DANNER icon. i do not know if my boot is still offered in combination with the rough VIBRAM KLETTERLIFT outsole. i have the feeling that this DANNER boot is changing from a classic hiking boot to a lifestyle product. remembering 2012 BREAD & BUTTER i saw some CLASSIC LIGHTS and MOUNTAIN LIGHTS at the DANNER stall in different color and sole combinations. some nice stuff, sometimes a bit too colorful. but i like DANNER for remembering their heritage and go their way like other traditional shoe & boot makers do. i use the CLASSIC LIGHT mainly for hiking and in winter or at bad weather conditions. this boot’s name is program: so comfortable and lightweight and at the same time so durable with great traction and stability on both wet and dry surfaces. a perfect companion for all your needs! pics | LTG

LIFE TIME GEAR HIKING IN RHOEN
this was a wonderful saturday at my hometown FULDA where my parents and my brother with his family still live. my little son LEVI, my parents and me went to RHOEN for a 12 kilometer hike with about an altitude of 1.ooo meters. great: best weather, good mood, a fine and solid lunch break with WEIZEN and sausage at a log cabin on the top of MILSEBURG. and my DANNER MOUNTAINLIGHT are still the best hiking boots i ever wore! pics | LTG
LIFE TIME GEAR | PRIVATE FAVORITES #29 “HIKING”
last week i took 2 days off and went with my family to my birth city FULDA for hiking till yesterday. we did some tours with my dad in the beautiful HOCHRHÖN region having best weather. on friday we went to KREUZBERG where an old franciscan abbey is. it was a great day with a lot of walked kilometers, drinking self brewed beer and spectacular views. by the way: the “CLASSIC DANNER LIGHT” is the perfect hiking boot. so light, so comfortable, waterproofed with breathable GORE-TEX® lining, VIBRAM kletterlift outsole … absolutely genial! high tech combined with retro, classic design. bad pics | LTG
