Comfort
Despite being an active boot, the Radical 452 GTX is surprisingly comfortable. The midfoot is padded and reinforced to support more weight, so there is less chance of pain or break-down.
The sole has thick rubber on the bottom and thin leather on top to prevent water from getting inside. This keeps your feet dry and safe.
The back heel is very sturdy and able to handle heavy loads without falling apart. This ensures you will have enough power to move your feet in the boot.
In general, shoes feel more comfortable when you feel comfortable in them. You can tell whether a shoe is comfortable by how easy it is to put on and take off. If it goes on easily, then you know it is safe and strong.
Style
The Danner Radical 452 GTX is a striking looking boot. It has a low profile, reinforced heel and toe areas, and a high top-to-bottom length. This makes the Radical 452 GTX look even taller when worn with thick socks!
This style is known for its long, sleek top lines and wide footbed placement. The Rebel line has some great looking boots, like the White Chocolate or Red Cerise models. Both look beautiful!
The Rebel line is known for having bright colors, so if you are a red person, these boots are for you! They are easy to get into fashion quickly.
How quickly this style goes out of fashion is how fast sellers list them! Once they’re sold out, they become hard to find.
Lacing system
The Lacing System included with this boot is what makes it so unique. It is a Velcro-like system that is attached to the top of the boot and connects to the sole via small, round, Velcro tabs.
This system makes it possible to get different levels of lacing for your feet. With the standard lacing system, you can easily get a little more freedom in how you attach your foot to the boot. With the enhanced lacing system, you can remove some of these restrictions.
With the enhanced lacing system, there are still some limitations on who will use this type of lacing system. You must be over 11 years old and wear normal size feet to be able to purchase and use this type of lacing system.
Sole material
The sole material of the Radical 452 GTX is a durable rubber. This rubber protects your feet from harsh surfaces and provides excellent traction. The Predator tread pattern on the bottom of the boot helps maintain stability under heavy loads.
Predator treads help maintain stability under heavy loads. When walking on gravel, this helps prevent foot pain and — more importantly — foot slipping. Refuge to refuge, this boot is hard to beat for ruggedness.
Aside from the Predator treads, this boot does not have any other prominent features that help it stand out.
Sole shape
The sole shape of the Danner Radical 452 GTX is interesting. It is a mid-height boot with a downturned V-shaped toe box. This allows you to get a good grip on the terrain!
This V-shape cuts off some space in the toe box which makes it more comfortable to hold on to and maneuver. This space also helps create more traction when you are walking in them!
Because of this cut, this boot does not get as tight up top as other boots might. You will have some room for movement as you get used to them, but this can be nice if you are going out in cold weather!
Another benefits of this sole shape is that it makes it easier to tell how hard you are working in them. When looking at other people’s shoes, there is always something that shines through for comparison.
Price
At $230, the Danner Radical 452 GTX is an expensive boot. You will need to make sure you are willing to spend this amount of money on a boot.
This is a heavy-duty boot that will last you for years. It is made from polyester and canvas, which makes it lightweight but does not make it easy to tell where the foot goes.
The polyester makes this boot soft and comfortable, making it great for long days in the outdoors. The canvas makes this boot durable and strong, making it great for hiking or adventures.
This boot is very tall at roughly 15 inches tall with the heal down, which makes it difficult to wear if you do not have a short leg lengthansenomy. You must have a long enough foot to fit into the next-longest foot length to get this boot!
Because of the high price tag, we suggest looking at some other Danner models that are cheaper and less durable but just as reliable for outdoorsy things.
Waterproofing

You can use it while hiking as well. When you are hiking in the snow, this technology helps protect your feet from frostbite and/or snow tires.
It also makes it easier to get into the boot and on and off quickly. Most people say they love the way this boot looks on!

Danner brand history
Until the early 20th century, little was known about Britain’s foot condition and needs. It was primarily medicine men and women who defined foot health and need, and they continue to do so today.
Medical experts of the day were not knowledgeable about gender conditions, such as gender transition or re-assignment. So, they classified feet by need or condition and gave them specific styles of boots.
Some people had trouble finding comfortable shoes that fit well, were durable, and lasted for several seasons. This is why people chose certain materials like leather or plastic construction instead of something more durable like steel.
By looking at how sturdy their shoes were, people could tell if someone was a male or female! By having different kinds of feet, people could find the right shoe to fit them.
