About this product
Durability, Support, and Cushioning
To build the Lookout, Danner combined its legendary durability and support with the comfort of the all-new Danner Comfort System (DCS). This side-zip version adds a convenient semi-locking zipper for faster on-and-off, on the same waterproof, polishable leather and ripstop nylon platform.
Key Features of the Danner Lookout Side-Zip 8" 23824
- Semi-Locking Side Zipper: Get in and out of your boots faster. It locks itself closed when zipped up, yet releases easily when you pull the zipper down.
- Polishable Full-Grain Leather & Ripstop Nylon Upper: Smooth, full-grain leather combined with incredibly strong ripstop nylon to reduce weight without sacrificing durability — completely polishable.
- Waterproof Danner® Dry Liner: A 100% waterproof barrier that pulls moisture away from the foot for all-season comfort.
- Body Fluid-Borne Pathogen Resistant: Meets ASTM F1671 for resistance to penetration by bloodborne pathogens, for EMS operations.
- DCS Footbed: A molded thermoplastic polyurethane cup for arch support, a cushioning heel for shock absorption, and air vents for breathability.
- Danner Lookout Outsole: Slip-resistant with a dynamic lug pattern for traction and maneuverability.
- DCP1-H Last: Built around the ultra-plush DCS footbed, running true-to-size with a broader toe box for a more athletic, responsive fit.
Speed When Every Second Counts
The semi-locking side zipper stays secure once closed but releases with a simple pull, making it easy to get boots on and off fast during shift changes or urgent calls.
Why Choose the Danner Lookout Side-Zip 8" 23824?
If you want the speed of zip-entry without giving up bloodborne pathogen protection or waterproof comfort, this is it. Danner Dry waterproofing, the DCS footbed, and a semi-locking side zipper come together in a boot built for fast-paced duty work.
