Adrika Hiker boasts Danner’s very own rubber sole
This Danner footgear comes prepared for the slippery terrain with the Adrika outsole. Its multi-directional lugs have a streamlined geometry, giving wearers enough traction on tricky surfaces without the added bulk.
The front end of this proprietary component encroaches the upper for about an inch. This extension further reinforces the forefoot zone and leaves the shoe with decent protection against bumpy hazards.

Giving wearers enough cushioning and stability on the trail is the Adrika Hiker’s Plyolite midsole. This lightweight yet durable layer comes embedded with a piece of nylon shank—an added component that stiffens the medial section of the midsole, resulting in improved arch support.
Additional support and cushioning underfoot are provided by this waterproof hiker’s multi-density Ortholite footbed. As it is made of open-cell polyurethane (PU), this removable insole can dissipate heat and circulate air, thereby making the interior of the footgear nice and cool for longer.
Classy yet durable design of the Adrika Hiker from Danner
The Adrika Hiker’s classy, earthy look is all thanks to its stitched-on suede leather upper.
Its liner is imbued with Danner Dry, keeping virtually all sorts of wet elements at bay while allowing moisture to escape.
Its speed lacing system is made up of synthetic laces and metallic hardware which consists of open hooks and D-rings buffed into a sheen.
