Danner Tachyon 8” Tactical Boots for Men - Ultralight Fast Drying Upper with Abrasion-Resistant Toe, Comfort Footbed, and Non Slip Traction Outsole

Oh Danner, how you've changed my life...Gone are those treacherous days commenced by the donning of Standard Issue footkillers...Gone are the massive blisters that make me question the matter of life itself...Gone is my paralyzing fear of walking, running, or rucking for miles that seemingly never end.I have owned two pairs of Tachyons. I must have put somewhere around 300 harddddd miles on my first pair and have since put somewhere around 100 on my new pair. I have worn these things for long-distance runs, even longer distance competition rucks (the best boots you could ever have for the Norwegian FM), lengthy FTX's, airborne school, SERE school, and even at my wedding!...just kidding, nobody loves me :,( ...But I digress. My first pair wasn't even broken or anything -- I just lost them when I moved. I CANNOT recommend these boots enough. I have recommended them to every friend, mentee, and random passerby I've ever had/encountered. I've convinced so many people to buy these boots that Danner should pay me a commission.The pros are as follows:+ SUPER lightweight. I have a pair of Hoka's and I'm pretty sure my Tachyons weigh less.+ SUPER breathable: Don't you HATE wet feet? Whether you're a super-sweater like me, or just always seem to find a day-ruining puddle wherever you go, these boots will let you get dry quickly. Since they're so thing, they can't really retain water AND are excellent at allowing your feet to offgas a lot of that built up heat.+ SUPER durable: As I mentioned above, these bad boys have yet to fail me. I'm not a mega-hooah, so I haven't gone through RANGER SCHOOL or selection, but these things have held up to everything that I've thrown at them. Even after 300+ miles they were still serviceable, if not a little beat up.Cons:+ Not a lot of ankle support: I'm a big dude, standing 6'4 and 220-pounds. I don't have great ankles, but I've never had an issue with these. I'm only including this as a con because some of my weaker-ankled friends have mentioned that the Tachyons are bested by Garmont Bifidas in the uneven terrain of the woods. But seriously, I've done airborne jumps with these things with no issue; I've also crawled through all the inhospitable woods of the Great American Midwest and the Dirty South without any problems. I just wanted to include the disclaimer from my friends.+ Not a lot of heat retention: As I mentioned above, these boots are pretty thin, especially in the uppers. While this makes them great for heat dissipation and rapid drying, it also makes them a mediocre choice for the cold. If you're frequently operating in a wicked cold environment, you'll probably want something like the Rocky S2V's -- which are practically ovens.+ Iffy insoles: The insoles included in these boots aren't great. I did a quick swap with some Dr. Scholl's inserts from Walmart and BAM! the boots were perfect. I wish they'd have slightly better stock insoles, but nothing's ever perfect.If you're looking for THE BEST pair of ruck run boots, the Tachyons are your boots! If you're looking for a good pair of cool-footed garrison boots, the Tachyons are your boots! If you're working in wet, hot conditions, the Tachyons are your boots! If you like looking cool and feeling good, the Tachyons are your boots! If you...get the picture, these are THE boots for you.(PLZ sponsor me, Danner. I'll do any sport thingy you want for a free pair of Tachyons).

Finally went back to my senses and went back to good ol' Danner's. Why did I ever leave?? I'm in the Navy and wearing the Type III. I purchased the Rocky SV2 RKC050 Special Ops Boot as authorized for the Type III but these are heavy and don't fit as well as I liked. I've never worn Rocky's until recently and I'm not a fan. At the end of the day my feet would hurt/ache. I started developing foot pain despite wearing inserts. Yes, these Danner's are not on the authorized list but I'll take my chances. I went ahead and decided to go back to Danner's as I wore Danner's when I was attached to the Marines and never had any foot pain or issues. These are great! As others have mentioned they are light (lighter than my previous Bate Lights Coyotes). These are the perfect "Garrison" shoe. I don't think these would hold up on rocky-tough terrain (maybe) but these are great to have for the office or back at the Base. Light and comfortable. True to fit as I wear a 10.5 wide and these feel perfect. I inserted Spenco inserts in them as well as even better! Color is great too as some have posted they were olive green but these are definitely Coyote Brown. Highly recommend these boots. One tip, wear them with your boot socks inside the house for a good 8 hours straight to make sure they fit and don't leave hot spots and if not you can return them. Amazon will not take them back if you have worn them outside. These do feel "broken in" out of the box.

I wish I would have found these boots sooner. Are you in the military? Are you working in law enforcement or security? Look no further! Most Law Enforcement or Security companies want only their security personnel to wear black shoes/boots. Boots are always better, because you are able to have more support with your ankles and feet and it comes in handy for fights and walking on your feet all day.I just wanna say, I have referred many of my security buddies / friends to these boots! And they come in different colors to for the military folk. Just make sure these boots are allowed for your unit or branch. I was a marine, so these boots were not allowed not even the in the tan color because we needed the EGA emblem on the boots.Anyways, these boots, I'm telling you right now, are the best boots I've ever bought. I just bought a new pair about 4 months ago because my previous pair was over 3 years old. If you are on your feet a lot on the job, no matter what job that is, security or not, and boots are allowed to be worn, I swear on these boots for life! They are Light Weight, hence the 8 oz. boots. They are feather light, extremely comfortable , durable and incredible. Before I found these boots, I was always buying the expensive heavy weight "Bates Boots". Don't get me wrong, Bates boots are awesome, but nothing can beat these boots! These boots like I say again, are light weight, which is Huge when you are wearing boots 8+ hours a day at work, walking around constantly or on the job. Why stress your feet with heavy boots that weigh roughly 4.5 lbs a piece.Look no further, all you have to do is, obviously know your shoe size...and that is it. Shipping is fast and these boots are insanely air weight comfy! Enjoy! I guarantee you will never look back again at any other boot brands, this is the way to go!

these are zero drop shoes on the bottom that are comfortable and breathable like tennis shoes. Highly flexible to pivot ankles without resistance or chaffing. solid lateral ankle support to prevent rolling or fatigue. These have excellent traction on shop floor or outdoor slippery conditions and they are extremely lightweight. Aftermarket insoles are needed at day one.

Honestly, 10/10. SUPER lightweight & comfy. I’m a 10 in women’s so I got the 8 in these & they fit perfect!
