DANNER: Tachyon 8" Lightweight Duty Boots

Danner didn’t build its reputation making athletic shoes—they built it making boots. When Danner set out to create a lightweight trainer, they applied over 80 years of boot-building expertise to engineer a boot that performs like a shoe, rather than a shoe attempting to act like a boot.

The Tachyon 8" is designed for high-intensity training, patrol, and tactical environments, delivering speed, durability, and stability in a lightweight platform.
Note: Danner recommends women select 1.5–2 full sizes down for proper fit.
