It Takes Speed and Strength to Serve and Protect Take Danner's toughest full-grain leather and ripstop nylon, add a polyurethane footbed and a deeply cushioned midsole, and you've got the Kinetic. This 6-inch side-zip version offers a lower-cut, more agile silhouette with the same semi-locking zipper for fast on-and-off. Key Features of the Danner Kinetic Side-Zip 6" 28017 6-Inch Height: A lower-cut silhouette for more ankle mobility than the 8-inch version, while still offering support. Semi-Locking Side Zipper: Get in and out of your boots faster. It locks itself closed when zipped up, yet releases easily when you pull the zipper down. Polishable Full-Grain Leather & Ripstop Nylon Upper: Smooth, full-grain leather combined with incredibly strong ripstop nylon to reduce weight without sacrificing durability — and it's completely polishable. Waterproof GORE-TEX® Liner: A 100% waterproof, breathable liner keeps water out while letting sweat and moisture escape. Plush Dual-Density Footbed with Airthotic® Heel Clip: Superior cushioning, underfoot venting for airflow, and heel support. Danner Kinetic Outsole: A multi-directional, low-lug pattern for superior surface contact and traction — built for sudden acceleration and stops. 1368 Last: A sleek, streamlined last excellent for light trail, multi-sport, and casual use, with a running-shoe-like fit. A Lower-Cut Alternative for More Mobility At 6 inches instead of 8, this version trades some ankle coverage for a lighter, more agile feel — a good fit if you prioritize mobility and don't need the extra height of the standard Kinetic. Why Choose the Danner Kinetic Side-Zip 6" 28017? If you want maximum agility with fast zip-entry and full waterproof protection, this is it. A lower-cut silhouette, GORE-TEX waterproofing, and the semi-locking side zipper come together in a boot built for speed. Similar Styles to Consider Want more ankle coverage?
