Danner Santiam

[mshane]

I have researched quite a bit on this site(and others) and have come to the conclusion that I want a pair of Santiams for my upcoming CO Elk hunt in Spet. My problem is that there is no where even remotely close to me that has them so that I can try them on. So my question is this, do they run true to size as I have a pair of Pronghorns that I have had for 6 years and they just this last deer season have started to let water in and that is the last thing I want being in the mountains for 6 days with wet feet. So if anyone has had both the Pronghorns and Santiams do you have the same size in both.

Thanks in advance for the info....

i was looking at these boots and they reminded me a lot of the cabelas outfitter boots. you might want to look into them also, quite a bit cheaper. not sure about sizing but i would guess they run the same as the other danners - jackals, pronghorns, etc. good luck with the boots and your upcoming hunt. post how whatever you buy performs. thx

My experience is that they run a half size large. I normally wear an 11 but the 10.5 fit me perfectly. Mine have been resoled (and recrafted) 2 times and are still my favorite boot.

Read the detail on the danner web site, it talks about how they fit and how they size in general.

My insulated Pronghorns and Santiams are the same size. I recommend both boots but for different purposes. The Santiams are a heavier, more robust boot.

My advice if you want dry feet don't buy Danners and I live in Oregon.


If there is any proof of a man in a hunt it is not whether he killed a deer or elk but how he hunted it.

Broad brush generalization and in my experience incorrect.

The US made Danners are not the same as the Chicom boots! If onlt they would make a quality Pronghorn.

I hunted with my Santiams in the coast range outside of Forest Grove for 6 years without a problem.
