A Boot First. A Sneaker Second.

Danner didn't get its start building athletic shoes — it makes boots. So when the team set out to build a lightweight trainer, they used over 90 years of bootmaking experience to create a boot that acts like a shoe, not a shoe that acts like a boot. The Tachyon is a lightweight, flexible boot built for training and special operations.

Key Features of the Danner Tachyon 8" 50120

Ultralight at 26 oz Per Pair: Built light for all-day training.
Synthetic Ultralight Upper: Lightweight synthetic materials with ultra-fast dry times.
Unlined for Breathability: Cool comfort in warmer temperatures, with a fit that molds to your foot.
Speed Lace System: Tighten from toe to top with one swift tug for a secure, tight fit.
Abrasion-Resistant Toe Cap: Added scuff protection in the area that sees the most wear.
Open-Cell Polyurethane Footbed: Shock absorption with extra air circulation.
EVA Midsole: Lightweight cushioning without added bulk.
Danner Tachyon Outsole: 100% rubber for abrasion resistance, with pentagonal lugs for broad surface contact.
DLE-01 Last: An anatomical last with secure heel and forefoot capture and a roomier toe box. Available in extended sizes; Danner recommends women select 1.5–2 full sizes down.

Built for Hot Weather and Off-Duty Training

This version is non-waterproof and unlined by design — built specifically for hot-weather conditions and off-duty training where breathability matters more than weather protection.

Holiday Season Shipping

Delivery times increase from November through December. Order volume rises sharply during this period, and each order ships directly from the manufacturer.
Most orders arrive within the delivery time of the shipping method you choose, but during this period some orders take two weeks or longer.
Delivery before December 25 cannot be guaranteed for any order. The earlier you order, the better your chances.
Because orders move into processing quickly, cancellations and changes are often not possible during the holiday season.
If a gift must arrive by a specific date, please call us before ordering at 717-759-3100, Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm EST.

Order Cancellations & Changes

We understand that you may need to change or cancel an order after it's been placed, and we will always do our best to help when that happens.
Orders are processed and sent along very quickly after checkout — often within a very limited window. Once an order has entered that process, we may no longer be able to cancel it or make changes.
If you need to cancel an order or change something about it (size, style, shipping address, etc.), please contact us as soon as possible after placing it. We'll check the status of your order right away and let you know if we're able to accommodate your request.
Reaching out does not guarantee that an order can be stopped or changed — if it has already been processed, shipped, or is otherwise too far along, the order will need to proceed as placed, and our standard return/exchange policy below will apply.
To help avoid the need for a change, we recommend double-checking your size, width, style, and shipping address carefully before completing checkout.
