Over the years I have purchased Danner boots exclusively. I have purchased at least 8 pairs. I normally buy from my local boot shop, this time I opted for the savings of approximately $20 by buying online. I will never purchase another pair of boots online. I have never had a pair of Danner boots fit as poorly as these do. I have worn these and gotten scrapes on them from the work I do, otherwise , I would be trying to return them. I know Danner is a good quality product, I hope this is just a fluke in the system.
