A Boot First. A Sneaker Second. Danner didn't get its start building athletic shoes — it makes boots. So when the team set out to build a lightweight trainer, they used over 90 years of bootmaking experience to create a boot that acts like a shoe, not a shoe that acts like a boot. This GORE-TEX version adds waterproof protection and a polishable toe for uniform compliance, at just 35 oz per pair. Key Features of the Danner Tachyon 8" GORE-TEX 50122 Full-Grain Leather & 500 Denier Nylon Upper: A lightweight-yet-strong build that pairs premium leather with one of the best weight-to-strength synthetic materials available. Waterproof GORE-TEX® Liner: A 100% waterproof, breathable liner keeps water out while letting sweat and moisture escape. Polishable Toe: Meets uniform requirements for departments that require a polished, professional finish. Speed Lace System: Tighten from toe to top with one swift tug for a secure, tight fit. Open-Cell Polyurethane Footbed: Superior shock absorption with extra air circulation. EVA Midsole: Lightweight cushioning without added bulk. Danner Tachyon Outsole: 100% rubber for abrasion resistance, with pentagonal lugs for maximum surface contact. DLE-01 Last: An anatomical last with superior heel and forefoot capture and a roomier toe box. Available in extended sizes; Danner recommends women select 1.5–2 full sizes down. Built for Training and Patrol At 35 oz per pair — still remarkably light for a waterproof boot — this version is designed for training and patrol duty, where you need weather protection and a uniform-compliant polishable toe without giving up the lightweight, athletic feel of the Tachyon platform. Why Choose the Danner Tachyon 8" GORE-TEX 50122? If you need a lightweight, waterproof boot with a uniform-compliant polishable toe, this is it. GORE-TEX protection, the Danner Tachyon outsole, and a last built for all-day comfort come together in a boot that moves like a shoe and holds up like a boot. Similar Styles to Consider
