You can go a long way in a pair of Danner boots. And since many of our boots can be recrafted by replacing the outsole, reworking the leather and restitching the seams, you can go even farther. Our craftsmen and women can provide everything from simple part replacement and leather care to major overhauls.

CURRENT RECRAFTING TURNAROUND TIME : 5-6 WEEKS

How to get your boots recrafted

  1. Step 1
    Determine if your boots are eligible

    Danner can only repair boots with stitchdown construction and with leather that has not been damaged, cracked or torn. Please check each of the following items to ensure your boots can be recrafted. If you are still unsure, please contact us.

    • Stitchdown construction
      Figure 1
      Your boots must have stitching around the entire perimeter of the boot sole without any gaps in between.
    • No cracking at welt base
      Figure 2
      During the recrafting process, we remove the stitching around the perimeter of your boot. If the leather shows cracking at the welt base, it is too weak and will not allow us to successfully reattach a new sole.
    • No deep cracks at flex point
      Figure 3
      During the recrafting process, a last (plastic foot mold) is inserted into your boot to restore and maintain the original shape. The pressure will increase the size of the crack and/or hole, leaving the boot unwearable.
    • No holes at eyestay
      Figure 4
      During the recrafting process, a last (plastic foot mold) is inserted into your boot to restore and maintain the original shape. The pressure will increase the size of the crack and/or hole, leaving the boot unwearable.
    • Plenty of welt around sole
      Figure 5
      During the recrafting process, we remove the stitching around the perimeter of your boot. If there is not enough welt we will not be able to reattach a new sole.
