Product Description

We've taken our typical Danner boot and completely overhauled it to take out any and all extra weight without neglecting comfort and performance. This upper is completely synthetic for superior weight savings with the added benefit of an ultra-fast dry time. Speed lacing and a 3-layer comfort system work together to create a snug, comfortable fit. Most boots in this weight category have a composite rubber outsole but the tachyon features a true rubber outsole for superior abrasion resistance and traction. Liner: Unlined

At Danner, they are craftsmen. They pay attention to details. They forgo quantity for quality, with the knowledge that the boots they craft are no better than the hands that create them.

2.0 out of 5 stars #2nd worst purchase in my life

Like:
- Look cool (yes this is important)
- durable (also important)
- lightweight

Dislike:
-EVERYTHING ELSE (especially COMFORT, or lack thereof)

here I expound..

I got these boots directly from Danner (not on Amazon) thinking "Well Danner boots are good from what I've heard, and I want boots that are comfortable and durable above all else." Well I should have read reviews about the Tachyon 8 specifically, and I would have saved a good chunk of money.

Yes, these boots are durable. The stitching is heavy duty everywhere, and the laces are super nice. The soles also seem like they're going to last forever.

HOWEVER: These are the most uncomfortable things I've ever put on my feet, the top of the heel cup is angled into the back of the heel. This certainly keeps the boot in place, but it also literally cuts into the back of my heel. I've gone on two rucks with them with a low weight (30 lbs) and both times I've come back with at least two new large blisters on both of my feet. I literally have a cut that has been rubbed into the back of my left heel by these boots. This is while wearing VERY thick socks.

Also, for anyone wondering, yes I got the right size. They are snug and my feet don't move around, but my toes still have room.

On my second ruck with these I put some unused, good cardboard in the back of them to keep them from cutting into my heels, and they literally cut through the cardboard. This was a 5.5 mile ruck.

I had high hopes for this boot. I've always heard that Danner was a good brand and I wanted a pair of Coyote color to wear with my 511's, but these boots fail on every level. The price is too high for the boot you're getting. Other brands that carry "tactical" boots offer better boots at the same price. The upper is all nylon and only 1/3 of the boot is leather. (I suspect it's pleather, but to be fair, I don't know for sure). The upper reminds me of the old "jungle boots" when I was in the military. There is virtually no arch support or ankle support. I've read some reviews where "buyers" swear this is a great boot for walking... marching... in the field etc. The lack of a true insole causes your feet to get tired a lot faster. I wear them for office work and they even suck for that. If you suffer from plantar fasciitis DO NOT buy this boot.

It's a poor value for the price you're paying. If it retailed for $49 to $79 and disclosed that it doesn't have much of an insole, it might be a 3 to 4 star boot.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good but really really light weight.
Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2019
The boots are pretty nice but....if you are in the infantry or some discipline that goes to the field and carries weight with you legs, over distance, I wouldn’t recommend these. These are garrison boots. I wanted light weight boots. Something that models a bates light but better made. These boots are a little too light though. The fabric from the base of the ankle up is comparable to the thickness of a windbreak jacket. This makes them very lightweight but they offer very little support in the ankle region. Other then being super light weight they are not bad boots. Also, for what they are and how they are made, these are expensive. Rate them 6.5 out of 10

5.0 out of 5 stars Great ultralight boots
Reviewed in the United States on September 9, 2018
These boots are awesome!! I've had them for about a year, and wear them in garrison and in the field. They are incredibly light, and feel like you're in a tennis shoe all day. They have held up incredibly well, despite being so lightweight, and will probably give me at least another year in them. I normally wear a 13, but opted for a 12W. They were a little snug but formed to my foot after some time, and are comfy now. Highly recommend.

3.0 out of 5 stars Movement is amazing.
Reviewed in the United States on November 21, 2018
Really good quality boot. Finally a boot that I can be comfortable running in and overall movement is amazing. My only complaint was that I had received a black pair instead of tan. Disappointed but overall happy. Three stars only because the wrong color was delivered.

Boot lacing goes too far down the top of the foot to where it pinches across the top of your foot almost to the toes. Really wanted to like these boots, but after two rucks in them I will be retiring them.
