Men's Ground Control 8" Brown ST

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.

Steel Toe (ST)

Our steel safety toe meets ASTM F2413 standards for impact and compression 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.
