The Super Rain Forest GTX boot is a great all-purpose work boot that gets the job done. Double-thick leather offers exceptional durability, and the GORE-TEX lining provides breathable waterproof protection. Stitchdown construction guarantees a wider platform for greater stability and support underfoot and the lightweight non-metallic safety toe won’t conduct heat or cold to the foot. Super Rain Forest leather the is toughest leather Danner could find, it resists alkali, lime, and anything else you’d rather not get on your feet. Danner used double layers across the toe box and top of the foot for industrial strength.
How it fits: The 516S is designed specifically for models that include a safety toe. It offers a sleek, slender profile with a toe area that can accommodate the safety toe cap. Boots on this last tend to fit those with a more narrow foot better than those with a wider foot. This ensures a snug fit for terrain and activities that demand support and stability. If you do have a wider foot, Danner recommends ordering an “EE” (wide) in this style.
Safety Rating:
Electrical Hazard ASTM F2892-11 EH with non-conductive electrical shock resistant soles and heels.
Non-metallic toe does not transmit heat or cold. Nor will it set off metal detectors. As expected, it meets or exceeds ASTM F2413-11 M I/75 C/75 EH standards.

Tough and light. Not sure how snakeproof they are but hopefully 100% since I hunt in diamondback infested areas. Definitely NOT waterproof! Ive had to dry the boots out after every excursion in wet areas. Quite a chore unless you have a powerful fan to blow inside them for several hours after. Ive tried using waterproofing spray and still my feet get wet.

My husband likes them a lot. There is nothing he doesn’t like about them.They are exactly what he was wanting and what they said they were from the seller.They were the height he wanted right under his knees and they true to size. Took a few days and we had them. Thank you.
