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 in a rich tobacco 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 in a rich tobacco leather: 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 Tobacco Bull Run 15593?
If you need to stay dry and protected without giving up the tobacco leather's character, this is the Bull Run for you. Full GORE-TEX waterproofing, an ASTM F2413 steel toe, EH protection, and the comfortable Danner Wedge outsole in a handcrafted, USA-made boot.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the tobacco 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's the difference between the tobacco and brown GORE-TEX steel toe?
They share the same waterproof construction, steel toe, and 503 last — the difference is purely the leather color. Tobacco is a warmer, reddish-brown that deepens with wear; brown is a more classic mid-tone.
Does the tobacco 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.
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.
