Danner Tachyon 8" Black Hot Tactical Boots

Danner Tachyon 8" Black Hot Weather Tactical Boots

Danner didn’t just build another athletic shoe; they took over 90 years of boot-making heritage and engineered a boot that acts like a running shoe. The Danner Tachyon 8" Black Hot Tactical Boot is designed for high-intensity training, hot weather foot patrols, and officers who demand agility without sacrificing stability.

Weighing in at a remarkably light 26 oz per pair, the Tachyon features a synthetic ultralight upper that is completely unlined, offering maximum breathability and ultra-fast drying times in humid or wet conditions. The chassis is built on the DLE-01 anatomical last, providing a running-shoe fit with a wider toe box that allows your foot to splay naturally when carrying heavy gear or changing directions quickly. With a high-traction 100% rubber outsole and shock-absorbing EVA cushioning, this boot is ready for the chase.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):

• Are these boots waterproof?
  No. The Tachyon is designed for hot weather and fast drying. It uses unlined synthetic materials to maximize breathability. If you need a waterproof boot, this model is not the correct choice.
  
  
• Can these be polished?
  The toe area is a synthetic material that can take a light shine, but the majority of the upper is a fabric/synthetic blend designed for performance rather than a high-gloss inspection finish.
  
  
• Are they suitable for running?
  Yes. The Tachyon is specifically engineered as a "Trainer" boot. The EVA midsole and 26 oz weight make it one of the best boots on the market for running and physical training (PT).
  
  
• Do they have a side zipper?
  No. This model features a Speed Lace System for rapid on/off, but it does not have a side zipper.
