It Takes Speed and Strength to Serve and Protect
Take Danner's toughest full-grain leather and ripstop nylon, add a polyurethane footbed and a deeply cushioned midsole, and you've got the Kinetic. It's tough on the outside and soft on the inside — and thanks to its lightweight build, it's incredibly agile and responsive.

A Running-Shoe Fit, Built to Last
The 1368 last is what sets the Kinetic apart from a traditional duty boot — it's designed to feel like a running shoe on your foot, while the ripstop nylon and full-grain leather upper hold up to the demands of training and patrol work.
Why Choose the Danner Kinetic 8" 28010?
If you want a duty boot that moves like a running shoe without sacrificing waterproof protection or durability, this is it. GORE-TEX waterproofing, the Danner Kinetic outsole, and a plush Airthotic footbed come together in a boot built for speed and agility.
