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 pairs full GORE-TEX waterproofing with a protective steel toe. Rugged oiled full-grain leather, a cushioned OrthoLite footbed, and the Danner Wedge outsole make it built for long, wet, demanding days.

Waterproof Protection with a Steel Toe
This Bull Run brings two kinds of protection together: a 100% waterproof, breathable GORE-TEX liner that keeps your feet dry, and a steel safety toe that meets ASTM F2413 for impact and compression. Add electrical hazard (EH) resistance under the same standard, and it's well suited to wet, hazardous job sites where a plain-toe boot wouldn't be enough.
How It Fits
This boot is built on Danner's 503 last, which has a casual, comfortable fit and runs true to size — so you can order your usual size. Multiple widths are available.
Why Choose the GORE-TEX Steel Toe Bull Run 15589?
If you need to stay dry and protected, this is the Bull Run for you. Full GORE-TEX waterproofing, an ASTM F2413 steel toe, EH protection, and the comfortable Danner Wedge outsole come together in a handcrafted, USA-made boot that can be recrafted for years of wear.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the steel-toe GORE-TEX Bull Run good for wet, hazardous job sites?
Yes — that's exactly what it's built for. It combines a 100% waterproof GORE-TEX liner, a steel toe rated to ASTM F2413 for impact and compression, and electrical hazard (EH) protection, making it a strong choice for wet construction and industrial work.
What safety rating does the steel toe carry?
It meets ASTM F2413 for impact and compression protection, and the same standard covers its electrical hazard (EH) resistance.
Does the GORE-TEX steel toe fit true to size?
Yes. It's built on Danner's 503 last and fits true to size, so order your usual size. (Some other steel-toe Bull Runs use the narrower 516 last, but this GORE-TEX version uses the roomier 503.)
Is it truly waterproof or just water-resistant?
It's fully waterproof. The GORE-TEX liner is a waterproof, breathable membrane — not just a water-resistant leather treatment — so it keeps water out even in sustained wet conditions.
