For Those Who Protect Our Wilderness Handcrafted for wildland firefighters, the Wildland Tactical Firefighter (WTF) blends the lightweight, supportive feel of an alpine hiker with the stringent standards of an NFPA-certified boot. This smooth-out leather version is built by hand in Danner's Portland, Oregon factory with reinforced opanka-stitch construction for a superior bond between upper and outsole.
