Direct-Attach Cushioning
Danner injects the polyurethane midsole directly onto the upper, which seals the seam against water, prevents delamination, and puts a thick layer of shock-absorbing PU under the foot from the first wear.
DuraGrip Traction
The DuraGrip TPU outsole is cut for grip on wet concrete and oily floors and rated slip-resistant, and the low-profile DPDX last keeps the boot stable without a tall heel.
Why Choose the Danner 14526?
A waterproof, EH-rated, slip-resistant 8" work boot with direct-attach cushioning — the pick for everyday jobsite work where you want ankle support and a boot that is comfortable out of the box.

Frequently Asked Questions
What safety standards does the Ground Control 14526 meet?
Danner lists the steel-toe 14526 as ASTM F2413 I/C with EH and slip-resistant (SR) ratings. The plain-toe 14525 is rated ASTM F2892 EH SR — electrical hazard and slip resistance without a safety cap.
Is the Ground Control waterproof?
Yes. Danner® Dry waterproof construction seals the boot — a breathable barrier that keeps water out and lets moisture escape.
How should the Ground Control fit?
It is built on Danner's DPDX last, a low-profile everyday fit; order the size you wear in athletic shoes. On the steel-toe version the cap does not stretch, so size for room across the toes from day one.
Is there any metal in the Ground Control?
The shank is nylon on both versions. The 14526 adds a steel safety toe; the 14525 is plain-toe with no metal in the boot's structure.
Can the Ground Control be resoled?
Direct-attach construction bonds the midsole permanently to the upper, so the Ground Control is built to be worn hard and replaced rather than recrafted.
What's the difference between the 14525 and 14526?
Same waterproof Ground Control 8" with DuraGrip outsole and direct-attach PU midsole — the 14525 is the plain-toe EH boot, the 14526 adds an ASTM F2413 steel safety toe.
