With the same rough-out leather and rugged nylon that you expect from Danner, we built the Tanicus to be our lightest military boot that is theater ready. Featuring an added layer of cushioning in the midsole and a dampening heel cup, Danner used a polyurethane footbed to ensure that comfort won't break down over time. The breathable, moisture-wicking mesh liner keeps you cool in hot climates and the outsole's pentagonal lug pattern gives you stability in diverse terrain. Danner recommends women select 1.5 to 2 full sizes down for correct fit.

Rough Out Leather and 1000D Nylon Upper

The rough-out, full-grain leather upper is legendary for its durability. Danner pairs it with 1000D nylon for superior protection.

Mesh Lining

Lightweight and breathable for total foot comfort.

USAF Optional Wear

Meets US Air Force AFI 36-2903 requirements for optional wear.

Lace Garage

Prevents loose laces from snagging or dragging. At the top of the boot's tongue is a stretch fabric pocket designed to tuck your lace ends into.

Composite Toe (NMT)

Made from non-metallic materials, the composite safety toe doesn't conduct heat or cold and will not trigger metal detectors. As expected, it meets ASTM F2413 safety standards for impact and compression resistance.
