An American Classic, Now Waterproof
Drawing on nearly a hundred years of bootmaking, the Danner Bull Run is the work boot that doesn't quit — and this version adds full GORE-TEX waterproofing to a rich tobacco leather that only gets better with age. A cushioned OrthoLite footbed and the Danner Wedge outsole round out a boot that's just as ready for a wet job site as it is off the clock.

Tobacco Leather, Built to Stay Dry
Tobacco is one of Danner's most popular finishes — a warm, reddish-brown oiled leather that deepens with wear. Pairing it with a GORE-TEX liner means you get that same rich color and character while staying fully protected from water, so the boot can go straight from a wet job site into everyday wear without missing a step.
Made in the USA, and Recraftable
Danner sources materials from around the world and finishes each pair by hand in Portland, Oregon — the “Made in USA with imported components” approach that keeps the price reasonable without giving up build quality. Thanks to stitchdown construction, the boot can be recrafted rather than replaced.
Why Choose the GORE-TEX Tobacco Bull Run 15592?
If you want the classic Bull Run's rich tobacco color with genuine waterproof protection, this is the one. A fully waterproof, breathable GORE-TEX liner, EH protection, and the comfortable Danner Wedge outsole meet a leather that only looks better with time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the tobacco GORE-TEX Bull Run fully waterproof?
Yes. It has a 100% waterproof GORE-TEX liner, so it's genuinely waterproof rather than just water-resistant — your feet stay dry even in sustained wet conditions.
Will the tobacco leather still develop a patina with a GORE-TEX liner?
Yes. The GORE-TEX membrane is built into the boot's construction, so the tobacco leather on the outside still ages and deepens in color the same way it would on the unlined version.
Is this a safety-toe boot?
No. This version has a plain (non-safety) toe with electrical hazard (EH) protection under ASTM F2892. For a protective toe, choose the steel-toe version (15593).
Does the tobacco GORE-TEX Bull Run fit true to size?
Yes. It's built on Danner's 503 last, which fits true to size, so you can order your usual size. Multiple widths are available.
