The star of the show here is the oiled, full-grain leather used to make the 6-inch-tall uppers, shaped and stitched into a moc toe style. Inside, there are open-cell OrthoLite footbeds for cushioning and steel shanks for support. The sole is a rubber wedge that’s non-marking and oil- and slip-resistant. They’re good for everything from work sites to commuting and are a lock for style, if that’s your intention.Related: REI’s Massive Anniversary Sale Is Live With Big Deals on Camping Gear, Hiking Equipment, and So Much MoreREI lists these as “casual boots,” but after reading the reviews, it’s clear that many folks use them as work boots. One such customer wrote that they are “someone who goes from job site to office and back, and often must be in the field at a moment’s notice, working them hard.” They wrote that these boots are up to the challenge. “Break-in has been minimal, and I appreciate the simplicity of the construction.” Danner Bull Run Moc Toe Boots, $187 (was $250) at REI

Another reviewer who works in a custom metal fabrication shop wrote that they were on their second pair. “I will rock these boots as long as I am in the trade and beyond,” they wrote, because “my last pair lasted me two years with daily wear five to six days a week.” That’s some impressive longevity, as is the fact that once broken in, “they are as comfortable as my sneakers.”Danner Bull Run Moc Toe Boots aren’t just one of the most stylish, durable boots REI sells, they’re an absolute icon in the moc toe category, so the chance to score a pair for 25% is not to be missed. And while this sale runs through May 26, we wouldn’t be surprised if size-color combinations start to go out of stock sooner. The lesson: don’t hesitate, and pick your pair up today.
