When it comes to rugged, reliable boots, Danner is a name that stands out. But even the toughest leather and most durable construction won’t matter if the fit isn’t spot on.
That’s where the Danner size chart and width chart come in. In this guide, we’ll break down how to use these tools to find your perfect fit.
Without further ado, Let’s dive right in…
Danner Size Chart
Before we dive into the nitty-gritty of the Danner size chart, we’ve got a super detailed guide on how Danner boots fit in general—plus a breakdown of how some of their most popular models, like the Mountain Light and Bull Run, fit. Trust me, it’s worth a read to get the full picture!
Now, Danner’s sizing is based on the Brannock device. If you can, head to a store that has one and get your feet measured. It’s the easiest way to find your size.
No Brannock device handy? No problem. You can measure your feet at home using our simple 3-step guide later in the article. Just make sure to measure the widest part of your foot too because Danner offers width options.

Danner vs. Salomon, Merell, and Keen
Good news for outdoor enthusiasts: Danner’s sizing is pretty consistent with other major brands like Salomon, Merrell, and KEEN. If you’ve worn boots from any of these brands before, chances are your Danner size will be the same.
That said, it’s always a good idea to double-check the Danner size chart—especially if you’re trying a new style or width.
Men
| Foot length (mm) | Danner | Salomon | Merrell | Keen |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 270 | 9 | 9 | 9 | 9 |
| 280 | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 |
| 290 | 11 | 11 | 11 | 11 |

How to Measure Your Feet
Getting the right fit starts with knowing your measurements—and it’s easier than you might think. Here’s how to measure your feet like a pro:
1. Use a Brannock Device (If You Can)
If you’re near a store that has one, take advantage of it. It’ll give you the most accurate length, width, and arch measurements.
Here’s how you can that:
2. Measure at Home
Here’s how to measure your feet at home if you don’t have access to a Brannock device:
- Grab a piece of paper, a pencil, and a ruler.
- Stand on the paper and trace your foot.
- Measure the length from your heel to your longest toe.
- Measure the width at the widest part of your foot.

3. Pro Tips for Accuracy
- Measure both feet—most people have one foot slightly larger than the other.
- Measure at the end of the day when your feet are slightly swollen.
- Wear the socks you plan to wear with your boots.
Why Width Matters
Don’t forget to measure the width of your feet! Brands like Danner offer width options, so getting this right is just as important as the length.
Once you’ve got your measurements, compare them to the brand’s size chart to find your perfect fit.
Danner Sizing FAQ
Do Danner boots fit true to size?
It depends on the boot and the last it’s built on. Many Danner boots, like the Bull Run, are true to size, so you can stick with your Brannock measurement. However, some models, like the Mountain Light (built on the narrow 650 last), can run a bit long and snug, so you might need to size down by half a size for the best fit.

Do Danner boots run narrow?
Yes, many Danner boots—especially those built on the 650 last, like the Mountain Light and Elk Hunter—are designed to be narrow. This snug fit is great for stability on rugged terrain but can feel tight if you have wider feet. If that’s the case, opt for the EE width or consider sizing up by half a size for extra room.
Should I size down in Danner?
Many Danner boots, like the Bull Run, fit true to size, so sticking with your usual size is a safe bet. However, if you’re looking for a model built on the 650 last (like the Mountain Light), you might want to size down by half a size. These boots are designed to be narrow and can run a bit long, so sizing down ensures a snug, secure fit.
That said, if you’re all about comfort straight out of the box, sizing up by half a size can give you extra room—especially if you plan to wear thicker socks or add an insole. But if you’re looking for the ultimate fit and don’t mind a little break-in time, go with your usual size.
How do Danner boots fit for wide feet?
Danner offers EE (wide) and even 3E/EEE (extra wide) options for many of their boots. If you have wide feet, opt for the wider widths, especially in models built on the narrow 650 last. Boots like the Mountain Pass (built on the 503 last) are also a great choice—they’re roomier and more forgiving for wider feet.
Do Danner boots stretch over time?
Yes, but not dramatically. The leather in Danner boots will stretch about 3-5% with wear, molding to your feet for a more personalized fit. If your boots feel a little snug at first, don’t panic—they’ll loosen up as you break them in. Just make sure they’re not painfully tight from the start.
Does Danner offer extended sizing?
Absolutely! While most Danner boots come in standard medium (Men’s D / Women’s M) and wide (Men’s EE) widths, they also offer extended sizing for those who need a little more (or less) room.
For narrow feet, Danner provides B width options, giving you that snug, secure fit. On the other end of the spectrum, if you’ve got wider feet, you can opt for 3E/EEE or even 4E/EEEE widths in select styles. For example, if you’re want to get the Mountain Light or Elk Hunter, the extra-wide options can be a super helpful in terms of comfort.
Wrap Up
And there you have it—everything you need to know about the Danner size chart and width chart. Whether you’re a narrow (B), medium (D), wide (EE), or extra-wide (EEE), these charts are your roadmap to boots that feel like they were made just for you.
