DannerDanner
The Danner store in East
Portland combines a large and attractive retail space with an
actual boot workshop, glassed-off from the public. In line with
my site's philosophy of Recycle/Reuse/Repurpose/Repair, Danner
offers repair and remanufacturing of their boots, including stretching
of boots that are too tight. I applaud such a company. They are
so rare!

Danner is alive and well, located a couple miles east of the Portland airport (PDX) at 12021 NE Airport Way, north side of the road, zip 97220. This large, exciting store combines retail with boot repair/remanufacturing.
