Tread Lighter

Whether you love taking in the view from a ridge or seeing cactus flowers blooming in the desert, the Pacific Crest Trail has something for everyone over its 2,650 miles. Inspired by the versatility required to hike the PCT, the Trail 2650 Mesh is built to perform on all kinds of terrain. A lightweight and breathable mesh upper keeps you comfortable as you maintain a quick pace. Trailguard TPU shank provides underfoot support for stability on challenging ground. The EXO Heel System cradles your heel, reducing unnecessary friction for a comfortable fit.

Mesh & Textile Upper

We combine lightweight mesh with textile to create an upper with modern performance and timeless Danner® durability.

Mesh Lining

Lightweight and breathable for total foot comfort.

Removable OrthoLite Footbed

Three layers of varying density are combined for maximum cushioning and support. The entire footbed is made of open-cell polyurethane for better heat dissipation and air circulation.

Danner PlyoGo Midsole

Ultra-lightweight EVA provides excellent cushioning with optimal weight savings.

Vibram® 460 Outsole

Self-adapting lugs and Vibram’s specially formulated Megagrip compound provide long-wearing resilience with incredible grip on both wet and dry surfaces.

EXO Heel System

The lightweight EXO Heel System provides a comfortable, secure fit via an external heel counter.

Danner Trailguard

Lightweight and supportive, the Trailguard TPU shank provides stability and underfoot protection on rough, uneven terrain.

How It Fits

Inspired from trail running, the DT6 last features an 8mm offset from heel to toe with slightly more width in the forefoot for stability and a good-looking, everyday-wearable aesthetic.

365-Day Warranty

If you suspect your purchase isn’t up to our unrelenting standards, or is defective in any way, we want to make things right. We offer a 365-day warranty across our entire footwear line.

Trust Each Step

Working with the leaders in high performance soling we looked to Vibram’s 460 outsole with deep, multi-directional lugs for confidence-inspiring grip in a wide variety of terrain. Couple this with Vibram’s legendary Megagrip rubber compound for enhanced traction in every step, whether wet or dry.

No Need to Compromise

For the Trail 2650, we wanted to bring you a lightweight option that still adheres to our strict durability benchmarks. This meant looking to lightweight materials that could withstand the demands of the trail. We use an ultra-lightweight EVA foam midsole to provide the cushioning you need while minimizing weight. The midsole is formed around a TPU shank that guards your foot in uncertain terrain and provides torsional strength for stability. This process maximizes weight savings while maintaining protection, stability and durability. We wouldn’t have it any other way.
