Garmont T8 ATHENA Women's Military Boots

The Garmont T8 ATHENA is a groundbreaking tactical boot engineered specifically for active, mission-driven women. Rather than simply scaling down a men's boot, the Athena is built from the ground up to conform to the natural shape of the female foot. Featuring a slightly raised heel, a narrower heel cup, and a shorter Achilles area, it significantly reduces fatigue and improves fit under heavy loads.

To ensure rugged protection without sacrificing breathability, the upper is constructed from durable suede leather and polyester. This lightweight combination excels in demanding operational environments, keeping your feet ventilated and comfortable. Beneath the foot, a dual-density EVA midsole actively absorbs shock, ensuring a smooth and supportive stride whether you are on a long ruck march or standing for extended shifts.

When it comes to grip, the Traction Formula Diamante outsole delivers superior stability. It is equipped with multi-directional lugs and dedicated climbing and braking zones, providing reliable traction across varied, unpredictable terrain. Ideal for military duty, law enforcement, and challenging outdoor training, the T8 Athena delivers mission-ready performance tailored exclusively for women.
