BDX8″ Waterproof Side Zip Boot

Waterproof Side-Zip Duty Boot, Athletic Performance Fit

The Black Diamond BDX8″ Waterproof Side Zip Boot is designed for users who need dry-foot protection, quick entry, and all-day comfort in a more athletic, performance-oriented build. With waterproof, breathable protection, an Adaptable Fit System that shifts from Medium to Wide, and responsive comfort underfoot, this 8-inch boot supports long wear without giving up traction or uniform-ready details.

Built for Wet-Condition Duty and Work

The BDX8″ is engineered for day-to-day environments where water exposure and time-on-feet are part of the job. Key construction elements include:

Full grain leather with durable fabric for a balanced feel of structure and flexibility
Sweat- and moisture-wicking lining to help manage comfort through long shifts
Full grain leather polishable toe for uniform coordination

Fast On/Off with Side-Zip Access

When you need to gear up quickly, the closure system matters. This boot includes:

Soft loop patch panel for hook & loop accessories

Supportive Comfort Underfoot
