Danner Men's Ground Control 6" Waterproof Chelsea Work Boot - Brown — 14522
The Ground Control Chelsea makes the job easier — a laceless slip-on with full-grain leather, Danner® Dry waterproofing, and an oil- and slip-resistant DuraGrip outsole.
Built on Danner's low-profile DPDX last, the Chelsea pairs a full-grain leather upper with elastic gores for easy on and off, a direct-attach polyurethane midsole, an EVA footbed, and a nylon shank — EH rated and slip-resistant for everyday jobsite and shop wear.

Laceless, Waterproof, Rated
Elastic gores let you step in and out in seconds, Danner Dry keeps water out, and the boot carries electrical hazard and slip-resistance ratings — a Chelsea that meets shop-floor requirements rather than just looking the part.
Direct-Attach Cushioning
Danner injects the polyurethane midsole directly onto the upper, which seals the seam, prevents delamination, and gives the boot a thick shock-absorbing layer from the first wear.
Why Choose the Danner 14522?
A waterproof, EH-rated, slip-resistant Chelsea work boot you can pull on one-handed — the pick for shop, warehouse, and trades work with a lot of in-and-out.

Frequently Asked Questions
What safety standards does the Ground Control Chelsea 14522 meet?
Danner rates the plain-toe Chelsea (14522 men's, 14523 women's) to ASTM F2892 EH SR — electrical hazard and slip resistance without a safety cap. The 14524 is listed on our site as the steel-toe build; see its Key Features for the toe specification.
Is the Ground Control Chelsea waterproof?
Yes. Danner® Dry waterproof construction seals the boot — a breathable barrier that keeps water out and lets moisture escape.
How should a Chelsea work boot fit?
With no laces, fit at the instep and heel matters most. Order the size you wear in athletic shoes; the elastic gores should feel snug over the instep on day one and relax slightly with wear. The women's 14523 is built on Danner's Women's Precision Fit last.
Is there any metal in the Chelsea?
The shank is nylon and the plain-toe versions have no safety cap, so their structure is non-metallic.
Can the Ground Control Chelsea be resoled?
Direct-attach construction bonds the midsole permanently to the upper, so the Chelsea is built to be worn hard and replaced rather than recrafted.
What's the difference between the 14522, 14523, and 14524?
All are waterproof Ground Control Chelseas with the DuraGrip outsole. The 14522 is the men's 6" plain-toe, the 14523 the women's 5" plain-toe on the Precision Fit last, and the 14524 the men's 6" steel-toe build.
