Some Boots Climb Mountains. Others Climb Worksites. By combining top-of-the-line materials like GORE-TEX and Vibram with a weight-saving platform, Danner built the Vicious to feel like the boot you want to put on at the end of a long day. A new anatomical last cups the heel for a secure fit while leaving extra room in the toe box for feet carrying heavy loads, and a dual-density EVA midsole adds shock absorption on top of the low-profile Vibram outsole. Key Features of the Danner Vicious 4.5" 13862 Full-Grain Leather Upper: Leather is put through six separate tests before selection, for strength and durability on the job. Waterproof GORE-TEX® Liner: A 100% waterproof, breathable liner keeps water out while letting sweat and moisture escape. Vibram® Vicious Outsole: A low-profile 90-degree heel with added lugs and grooves for oil- and slip-resistant traction on uneven ground. Danner Trailguard™ Shank: A lightweight, supportive nylon shank for stability and underfoot protection on rough terrain. DLE-01 Last: An anatomical last with superior heel and forefoot capture, plus extra toe-box room for feet under heavy load. Speed Lace System: Tighten from toe to top in one motion for a fast, secure fit. Electrical Hazard (EH) Rated: Non-conductive soles help protect against electrical shock in dry conditions, meeting ASTM F2892 for plain-toe footwear. Dual-Density EVA Midsole: Added cushioning and shock absorption for long days on your feet. A Cleaner Black/Blue Colorway This colorway swaps the brown/orange upper for a black leather build with blue accents — same GORE-TEX waterproofing, same Vibram Vicious outsole, same DLE-01 last underneath. It's a straightforward color choice rather than a spec change. A Different Kind of Build The Vicious is a cup-sole boot built on a nylon shank and Trailguard TPU platform rather than Danner's stitchdown construction, so it isn't eligible for Danner's recrafting program. In exchange, you get a lighter, more athletic-feeling boot with GO
