However, there is still no 100% guarantee that each Danner boot or shoe is going to follow these sizes.
That’s why we measure the internal length of each product from Danner to give you a better idea of how it fits. We found that the popular Mountain Light, for example, runs large. Check out our lab reviews for Danner boots and shoes for more detailed information on the fit and sizing.

How should Danner hiking boots fit
Here are a few signs that you got a well-fitting pair of Danner boots:
- Supportive side-to-side. The boot feels snug and the foot is not sliding around. Yet it is not constricted either.
- A little room up front. Your toes should not be touching the tip of the boot.
- Minimal heel sliding. It can slip up and down slightly but in a comfortable way.
It is recommended to walk around the house in the boots before you take them on an adventure. This will give them a chance to break in and conform. And if there is any serious discomfort or pinching, you will still have a chance to exchange them for a different size.
