At SHOT Show 2025, Garmont — a leading military and tactical brand — introduced the T8 Athena LE, a tactical boot specifically designed for women in law enforcement.

This breathable, lightweight, flexible boot features a dedicated women’s last with a narrow heel, shorter Achilles area and increased arch support for a higher instep. A dual-density EVA provides shock absorption and differentiates support zones. The 8-inch weather-resistant textile upper provides a polishable surface, while offering unparalleled durability and protection. This boot is outfitted with Garmont’s proprietary GTF Diamonte outsole with multi-directional lugs for stability and traction, as well as a targeted climbing zone with a grippy toe and rear lugs. Zama alloy eyelets provide a safe and reliable lacing closure system. The Athena LE launches in March 2025.
