Men's Ground Control 8" Brown

More Coverage. Same Ground Control.

The Ground Control 8” takes everything you love about the 6" version—waterproof protection, shock-absorbing comfort and slip-resistant grip—and adds extended ankle coverage for increased support. Built with Danner® Dry waterproofing, a DuraGrip oil-and-slip-resistant outsole and optional safety toe, it’s a versatile choice for tradespeople who demand more from their boots.

Full-Grain Leather Upper

To ensure its quality, we put our leather through six different tests before making our selection. Our full-grain leathers are the strongest and most durable form of leather.

Waterproof Danner® Dry

100% waterproof barrier allows moisture to escape without letting water in, keeping your feet dry and comfortable all day long.

Electrical Hazard (EH) Rated

Built with non-conductive soles to help protect against electrical shock in dry conditions. Meets ASTM F2892 safety standard for plain toe (non-safety toe) footwear electrical hazard (EH) resistance.

Direct Attach Midsole

Machine-injected, super-thick polyurethane bonds the outsole to the upper to prevent delamination and deliver substantial cushioning.

Danner® DuraGrip Outsole

Durable TPU built for tough outdoor use, with a tread pattern that increases surface contact for stable footing on slick indoor surfaces.

How It Fits

Designed for versatility, the DPDX has a low profile for everyday wear. Whether on the trail or urban exploring, this last was built to offer enough room for comfort while maintaining a sleek profile. Please note that if you are in-between sizes, we recommend sizing down a half size for best fit.

30-Day Comfort Guarantee

This style is backed with a 30-day Comfort Guarantee—try them out and, if they’re not the right fit or feel, you can return them within 30 days, even if they’ve been worn.
