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.

Selling two pair in size 10.5 if anyone is iterested

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.

Just ordered a pair of danner mountain light II to replace my asolo TM35. The Asolo are way to stiff for day hikes, they are outstanding for backpacking though. Hopefully this is a good choice. I have read many good things about danner but, I have always bought Asolo and Lowa for serious hiking.
-
yea, the Danners are nowhere near a serious hiker.
-
That is not good news I need something that's good for 12-15 mile day trips. I don't need another backpacker the Asolo and Lowa are perfect when lugging heavy packs. I thought the danner would be perfect for day trips carrying a lite pack. I hope I am not wrong.
-
This is driving me crazy, since I really don't want the boots to end up too small but I really hate shoes that are too large and floppy. I measured on one of those printable foot sizing templates that you can get online, and got a US13. However, I'm right on the line or even a couple of millimeters over it with really thin socks so a safer bet would be to go with a 14D, am I right? My foot is neither narrow or wide, I've never encountered any problems regarding width but lots with length.
If it helps (probably doesn't), I wear a Red Wing 875 in a US12 and it's a bit too tight since I'd prefer to use an insole. A 12,5 would be perfect. In my Vans Eras it's a snug but comfortable fit in a US13. Couldn't possibly go any smaller.

they will be ok for this. Im just saying that they are not a "hiker" hiker, like heavy packs and shit.

Jii I spent some time on the phone with danner yesterday they said boots run true to size so I went with a 12d. I wear 11.5d in Alden and Whites. If you are using them for hiking please don't go to small you will lose your toenails. Not a pleasant experience.
-
yea, Danners run narrow, so going to small makes for an awful experience.
-
you know, they have a pretty good return/exchange policy.
that being said, if you have a wider than normal foot, again, size up half a size or think about maybe getting one width up.
