Danner

So I got my Danner's the other day, sorry for the iphone fit pics, will try to get better shots soon. First impressions are that the leather is super thick and construction is very well done. They are a bit wide, but I just need some thicker socks and I'll be good to go. I'm wearing my 666Sod with them and had to double cuff because the shoes are quite bulky. I think they look pretty badass though.

How did you size, Plow? The guy at Woodland's told me to go a half size down from my Alden Truebalance size. I wasn't sure about this recommendation and opted not to order a pair.
I think sizing down is the right idea. On a brannock device I'm just under a size 14US, my feet are pretty narrow however. These are an EE width and everything I read said these fit large so I wound up going with a 13 in these, they are perfect length wise, but just a bit wide still. I think a 14 would have been far too large.

Thank you for the advice. Now, if only I can track down a size 9 in the 30866 Mountain Light Hiking boot…

just to add fuel to the bitching and moaning mood I am currently in, Danner has the most fucked up sizes available for the Stumptown collection. Everything is EE width, and their answer to this for those of us who are a D is to size down 1/2 a size. That didnt work for me. This sale put them in a more realistic price range though.

I work with a US Marine that swears by two things: Danner RATs and KA-BAR knives. I found a cool article on the RAT.

Still jonesing for a pair of Danners', currently looking at the Light II. Still a bit unsure on sizing though, the internet's full of conflicting info. Going for D width since places with intl shipping are a bit limited. I wear a US13 in almost everything (Nike, Vans, Viberg). Need a good insole to fit as well and don't mind wearing thick socks.

well, I am a 10D in White's SD last, and the Danners I had were a 10D and were too small. They were actually too narrow in the toebox. Im fairly confident a 10.5D would have worked.
-
let me say this now. danners run narrow. d width, the standard one, does run narrow as space gnome said. But,having said that, if you feel your feet can handle narrow, go for your tried and true size. I got a pair a year+ ago and they are literally the most comfortable boots i own.

Danners recommendation to size down .5 size if you dont wear an EE didnt work for me because the EE width also have a lot more room in the vamp area. It literally created a sloppy loose fit that I couldnt counter with socks or snug laces. An insole 'might' have worked, but Im not a fan of having to add shit to get a proper fit.
