Best-in-Class Durability, Support, and Cushioning
To build the Lookout, Danner combined its legendary durability and support with the comfort of the all-new Danner Comfort System (DCS). This EMS/CSA version adds a composite safety toe, CSA certification, and puncture resistance on top of the same waterproof, polishable leather platform and semi-locking side zipper.

The Most Heavily Certified Boot in the Lookout Line
This is the safety-toe, CSA-certified version of the Lookout — built for departments that require composite-toe protection, puncture resistance, and Canadian CSA compliance alongside the same bloodborne pathogen and EMS certifications carried across the family.
Why Choose the Danner Lookout EMS/CSA Side-Zip 8" 23826?
If you need certified safety-toe protection, CSA compliance, and puncture resistance without giving up waterproof comfort or fast zip-entry, this is it. It's the most heavily certified boot in Danner's Lookout duty line.

Frequently Asked Questions
What certifications does this boot carry?
It's certified to CSA Z195 for Canadian safety-toe and slip/puncture/electrical-hazard requirements, and NFPA 1999:2013 for EMS use. It also meets ASTM F1671-24 for bloodborne pathogen resistance and ASTM F2413-24 I/C EH PR for the composite toe.
Is this boot waterproof?
Yes. It has a 100% waterproof Danner Dry liner.
What's different about this version compared to the standard Lookout?
This version adds a composite safety toe, CSA Z195 certification, puncture-resistant midsole, and electrical hazard protection that the standard plain-toe Lookout boots don't carry.
How does the Lookout EMS fit?
It is built on Danner's DCP1-H last and runs true to size — order the size you wear in athletic shoes. Set the laces once and use the side zipper daily; the DCS footbed is removable.
How does the side zipper work?
A semi-locking side zipper opens the boot from ankle to top so you step in and out without touching the laces, and the lock keeps it from creeping down during a shift.
How do I care for the Lookout EMS?
Wipe off fluids and grime promptly, wash with mild soap, and air-dry away from heat. Condition the leather regularly and keep the zipper clear of grit so it runs smoothly.
