T8 Defense: Military & LEWayne ParhamEarlier this year, Garmont released a new military boot — the T8 Defense, which is also available for law enforcement as the T8 Defense LE. He added that Garmont worked with Vibram to create the Vibram Atlas outsole, which is an exclusive outsole for Garmont’s T8 Defense and T8 Defense LE. The T8 LE 2.0, introduced about five years ago, already features a zipper and is essentially the same design as the T8 NFS, but with a polishable leather finish. It is the same design as the T8 Athena, basically, but with a T8 LE designation, with availability in black. New Designs Coming for 2026Continuing on the line of law enforcement boots, Ferdyn detailed that the brand has been lacking in terms of more versatile products.
