Stepping into a river or lake when hiking is refreshing but can often lead to discomfort afterwards in footwear, so the Danner Rivercomber sneaker is designed to change this.
The modern sneaker is capable of functioning effectively when wet or dry and is constructed from an abrasion-resistant Cordura knit that is also inherently breathable. This will enable the footwear to dry quickly when wet, while still delivering a sneaker-like experience that is comfortable and stylish.
The Danner Rivercomber sneaker features a stretchy design that has a secure ankle collar for added support and a tri-density foam footbed. The breathable upper mesh will allow water to flow freely through it, but prevent sand and grit from getting in which can cause chafing and blisters.
