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 duty boot delivers durability, support, and cushioning right out of the box — with a waterproof, polishable, full-grain leather and ripstop ballistic nylon upper.
Key Features of the Danner Lookout 8" 23822
- 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.
Bloodborne Pathogen Protection for EMS Work
The Lookout meets ASTM F1671 for resistance to penetration by bloodborne pathogens — protection that matters for personnel in EMS and public safety roles, without adding a heavy safety-toe build.
