Boot Size & Fit
The "Last" and Why it's so Important
A better last means a better fit. The "last" is the mold around which the boot is built. A good last makes the difference between a boot that fits just okay and a boot that fits just right. We make sure our lasts are designed with the performance needs of our customers in mind. If you already own a pair of Danner boots, you can rest assured that any other pair of Danner boots built around the same last will offer the same fit and comfort you've come to love. And unlike most boot makers, we build our lasts to half sizes, not just whole sizes, which means that when you buy a nine-and-a-half you get a nine-and-a-half rather than a nine-and-a-compromise.

Tips for the Perfect Fit
  • Measure both feet. If one foot is slightly larger than the other, select a size that fits the larger of the two.
  • Consider the type of socks you’ll be wearing with your boot. For thicker socks, you may want to select a half size larger than you normally wear.
  • When you do receive your boots, we recommend first wearing them indoors for a few hours to ensure they’re the right fit.
