Designed for ultimate performance and long-lasting comfort, these spring 2025 releases deliver a customizable, micro-adjustable fit for the most demanding job sites. The Vicious BOA® is all about rugged versatility. Known for its ergonomic design and athletic build, it now features the [BOA® dial](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/altra-x-and-wander-timp-5-boa) that lets workers fine-tune their fit—without removing gloves. The GORE-TEX waterproof liner, full-grain leather upper, and [Vibram®](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/millwright-steel-toe) Vicious outsole provide all-day protection, while the non-metallic safety toe and EH-rated outsole meet strict safety standards. For those craving extra cushioning, the Caliper BOA® is the go-to. A Danner® Dual Layer Comfort footbed, memory foam strobel sock, and a [Danner® Dry waterproof lining](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/danner-trail-junction-sneakers) ensure comfort without compromising durability. Plus, its aluminum toe and EH-rated outsole keep safety top of mind. Both boots are now available at select retailers and Danner.com.
