Danner Kinetic GTX 8 inch Boot Review
Needed tactical boots for EMT uniform. I read a variety of reviews on these boots and decided to give them a try. I think they’re well worth the money. I wear custom arch supports, so I tossed the inserts that came in them, put my in, and tried them out. I thought the Danner Kinetic GTX Bootscould use a little more cushion, so installed a run-of-the-mill cushion insert, and I put my custom arches on top. This weekend I wore them a full day on my feet and not once did I think about how the boots felt … that’s good thing! If they bothered me or were not comfortable, then comfort, or the lack thereof, would have been on my mind. I went with 4 stars rather than 5 because it’s still too early to get a feel for their durability. $136

This style of Danner boots is some of the best I’ve ever worn. They go on right out of the box and there’s almost no break-in required. I’m on my third pair that I used in my maintenance job where I’m on my feet, sometimes six hours straight. The Danner Kinetic GTX Boots have a comfortable foot bed, good arch support, and they don’t slip on snowy surfaces (they also keep the feet warm in the snow).

If they get scuffed, you can hit them with a little Kiwi polish and a brush make them look like new. I take a few extra minutes and buff them out so they look good for inspection.

I’m very happy I found the Kinetic 8 as I think it one of their best bots for military wear. I am already saving up for my second pair of boots and will be getting another pair when these are worn out.

These boots do well in military operations.
