8 months in
I walk an average of 100 miles a month for my job. Since November it's been in these. They're as light as my vans slip on shoes, extremely durable and comfortable. I still have tread but it's definitely worn down on the ball and outside heel of them. Zero break in time, very secure feeling. They're basically 8" new balances. The sole is a hundred percent more comfortable than my old altama maritime boots , and more durable than my Belleville 601zst's. They don't breathe as much as I would like, but my feet run incredibly hot. The value is really good too. 180 for a competent pair of boots. The black stays really clean looking, I was worried about dirt and water stains but these look as good as new. Sizing is pretty accurate but go wide.

These are Money...... Awesome!!
Finally went back to my senses and went back to good ol' Danner's. Why did I ever leave?? I'm in the Navy and wearing the Type III. I purchased the Rocky SV2 RKC050 Special Ops Boot as authorized for the Type III but these are heavy and don't fit as well as I liked. I've never worn Rocky's until recently and I'm not a fan. At the end of the day my feet would hurt/ache. I started developing foot pain despite wearing inserts. Yes, these Danner's are not on the authorized list but I'll take my chances. I went ahead and decided to go back to Danner's as I wore Danner's when I was attached to the Marines and never had any foot pain or issues. These are great! As others have mentioned they are light (lighter than my previous Bate Lights Coyotes). These are the perfect "Garrison" shoe. I don't think these would hold up on rocky-tough terrain (maybe) but these are great to have for the office or back at the Base. Light and comfortable. True to fit as I wear a 10.5 wide and these feel perfect. I inserted Spenco inserts in them as well as even better! Color is great too as some have posted they were olive green but these are definitely Coyote Brown. Highly recommend these boots. One tip, wear them with your boot socks inside the house for a good 8 hours straight to make sure they fit and don't leave hot spots and if not you can return them. Amazon will not take them back if you have worn them outside. These do feel "broken in" out of the box.

Comfort,durability, lightweight
This is my 5th pair I absolutely love these boots I walk a good 20 to 25k steps a day these boots truly stand up they are lightweight and so comfortable. I will not buy another pair of boots. If you want quality lightweight boots these are the only boots you want.

Whoah! These are Good!!!
It may bit early for me to do this review as I have only worn them for a week, but I think these are some of the very best I've ever had. They come neatly packaged in a Danner Boot box inside another shipping box. Right out of the box, these were so light I thought they were missing something. These really are the lightest boots I have ever held or laced up. These are lighter than my "Asis Gel-Venture" tennis shoes. I wear boot socks with these but regular cotton socks are just fine. I wear 10.5 in Tennis and Dress shoes.. all my boots are 10.5-reg and these are true to size. The fabric reminds me of a very thin black cordura and appears to be strong, somewhat water repellent and adhered to the boot in expected Danner quality and fashion. The lacing is not loose due to the cotton laces. If you need speed laces, that would be an easy fix with para-chord or another type boot lace. The thin black rubberized toe piece is good for frontal toe protection but having anything drop from above is gonna hurt. I would not classify these as protective or safety boots at all. I ordered these for EMT training and then the African bush later on. They will absolutely work great. After some recent heavy rains in my area, I wore these outside and was surprised how they gave better traction than expected. I wasn't even thinking about it, but it was just one of those moments when you tell yourself... "Whoah... these are good!" Danner boots at this price??? This is a great deal! Good every day boots.. Very light weight... Very high quality but remember, Not Steel Toe safety Boots. For Bikers... I ride with mine, but these offer the same protection as my high top 'Chuck Taylor's' Converse tennis shoes. There are better Bike options for ankle and foot safety. Happy Trails to all.

THE GREATEST BOOT EVER
Oh Danner, how you've changed my life...Gone are those treacherous days commenced by the donning of Standard Issue footkillers...Gone are the massive blisters that make me question the matter of life itself...Gone is my paralyzing fear of walking, running, or rucking for miles that seemingly never end. I have owned two pairs of Tachyons. I must have put somewhere around 300 harddddd miles on my first pair and have since put somewhere around 100 on my new pair. I have worn these things for long-distance runs, even longer distance competition rucks (the best boots you could ever have for the Norwegian FM), lengthy FTX's, airborne school, SERE school, and even at my wedding!...just kidding, nobody loves me :,( ... But I digress. My first pair wasn't even broken or anything -- I just lost them when I moved. I CANNOT recommend these boots enough. I have recommended them to every friend, mentee, and random passerby I've ever had/encountered. I've convinced so many people to buy these boots that Danner should pay me a commission. The pros are as follows: + SUPER lightweight. I have a pair of Hoka's and I'm pretty sure my Tachyons weigh less. + SUPER breathable: Don't you HATE wet feet? Whether you're a super-sweater like me, or just always seem to find a day-ruining puddle wherever you go, these boots will let you get dry quickly. Since they're so thing, they can't really retain water AND are excellent at allowing your feet to offgas a lot of that built up heat. + SUPER durable: As I mentioned above, these bad boys have yet to fail me. I'm not a mega-hooah, so I haven't gone through RANGER SCHOOL or selection, but these things have held up to everything that I've thrown at them. Even after 300+ miles they were still serviceable, if not a little beat up. Cons: + Not a lot of ankle support: I'm a big dude, standing 6'4 and 220-pounds. I don't have great ankles, but I've never had an issue with these. I'm only including this as a con because some of my weaker-ankled friends have mentioned that the Tachyons are bested by Garmont Bifidas in the uneven terrain of the woods. But seriously, I've done airborne jumps with these things with no issue; I've also crawled through all the inhospitable woods of the Great American Midwest and the Dirty South without any problems. I just wanted to include the disclaimer from my friends. + Not a lot of heat retention: As I mentioned above, these boots are pretty thin, especially in the uppers. While this makes them great for heat dissipation and rapid drying, it also makes them a mediocre choice for the cold. If you're frequently operating in a wicked cold environment, you'll probably want something like the Rocky S2V's -- which are practically ovens. + Iffy insoles: The insoles included in these boots aren't great. I did a quick swap with some Dr. Scholl's inserts from Walmart and BAM! the boots were perfect. I wish they'd have slightly better stock insoles, but nothing's ever perfect. If you're looking for THE BEST pair of ruck run boots, the Tachyons are your boots! If you're looking for a good pair of cool-footed garrison boots, the Tachyons are your boots! If you're working in wet, hot conditions, the Tachyons are your boots! If you like looking cool and feeling good, the Tachyons are your boots! If you...get the picture, these are THE boots for you. (PLZ sponsor me, Danner. I'll do any sport thingy you want for a free pair of Tachyons).

Best Boots I’ve Ever Owned — and Incredible Customer Service!
Best Boots I’ve Ever Owned — and Incredible Customer Service! I’ve been a Danner fan for years (the Reckoning was my go-to), but these Tachyons are honestly on another level. They are the lightest, most comfortable boots I’ve ever worn. Right out of the box they felt like running shoes, but with the toughness you expect from a duty boot. Perfect for garrison wear and “boots & utes” training — breathable, flexible, and no break-in pain at all. The little details set them apart. The paracord-style laces are genius — they have just enough stretch to accommodate swelling feet throughout the day. I liked them so much that I called Danner to ask about longer laces. Not only did they answer immediately, but they sent me two free pairs of 74-inch laces (for larger sizes). Who does that anymore? That level of customer care is rare, and it sealed the deal for me. To be fair, I wouldn’t pick these for deep field exercises or heavy ruck terrain — they’re built more for speed, comfort, and everyday wear. But for daily duty, training, or just needing reliable boots that won’t destroy your feet, these are phenomenal. Bottom line: outstanding product, outstanding company. Danner once again proves why they’re the gold standard in boots.

are these supposed to hold up?* 3 MONTH UPDATE*
OK. First, I got a 1/2 size smaller than what the size I wear in sneakers, which seems to work most of the time I buy boots. They fit well. I am going to wear these in wet/dry conditions all day for work out in the everglades. If any place was made to kill shoes, it's this place. These boots are comfortable out of the box, and super light. The full synthetic design should help them dry out over night. Sooooo.... My biggest worry has been whether or not they would hold up, since they look and feel pretty cheap at first. Well... soooo far so good, but I have actually had a pretty mild field season so far and they haven't taken a super hard beating yet. I will say that they ARE doing better than I would have given them credit for at first. Soles are still intact, and the real cheapo looking stitching on the material is doing well. I am pleasantly surprised and glad they are holding up at 3 months. The only con so far is that the tread is very poor! You slip in loose sand, gravel, rocks, mud... come on! and I could see a nail going right through them like a cheap pair of sneakers. Soooo I would recommend these to people... but just because I like having more protection and better tread, I'm not sure if I'll buy them again. I would definitely never pay full price for these. I'm glad I got them using a bunch of points and free shipping, etc.

Muy caras, pero lindas.
Me gusta comprar en Amazon USA, porque si me envían los productos originales. Pero esta vez me cobraron mucho de impuesto. Por otro lado vi en reseñas que las botas estaban hechas en VIETNAM. Pero están bien hechas y los materiales de muy buena calidad. Las quería para el trabajo, pero las voy a usar un buen tiempo para dominguear.

great boots at awesome price, fast shipping
i am a regular 7 to 7 1/2, but since only limited sizes are available at this awesome price, was tempted to gamble and hope they will still fit, and they do. Shipping was fast and effortless, boots look great and comfy and are way better that the cheap ones i got from china before. Im still looking for another bargain and get the remaining colors available.

Awesome boots average service
The boots are so good, stylish military style in the way as I need them to be, and ridiculously lightweight and comfy, I even wear them to the gym. But the service could be better, the shipping was one month late than expectation.
