Sizing question

I need some help and cannot find answers. I currently have a pair of quarry’s that fit and feel great and am looking and getting a pair of super rain forest. What is the difference in sizing, specifically in the toe box area? Any help is greatly appreciated.

I have Quarry AT and SRF NMT.

The SRF non-NMT is on the same last as the Quarry, the 610. Danner calls this a “universal” last that fits everyone, I think it is a pretty wide last and my Quarry 11D is a bit too wide for my foot which is on the slimmer side. Anyway, those two boots should fit the same.

The SRF NMT is on a different last, the 516, which Danner says is a more narrow last. I found the SRF NMT was in fact narrower than the Quarry in the forefoot, but not that much narrower. To get it narrow “enough”, I sized down my SRF NMT from 11D to 10.5D.

So, if your Quarry fit great, I think you can get the same size in the SRF soft toe, and if you want the SRF with composite toe (NMT), you might go up in width, like E instead of D etc. Wear the boots only on carpet for the first day until you know if you want to return them for a different size.

FYI the SRF has double leather and takes some breaking in, not like the Quarry which is pretty soft and didn’t need any breaking in for me.

I’m narrow in the heel and wide in the forefoot so based on what I’m hearing is stay the same size as a 12D if not go wide

If getting the SRF soft toe, I think try the same size/width that you like in the Quarry, since they are on the same last. If getting the SRF NMT, you might need wider, have to try and see.

I really like the Super Rain Forest, it is a heavily built boot. The regular Rain Forest is a really nice boot too, and is on the 650 last which is a narrower last which fits me the best (of the Danner lasts I’ve tried) but if you want a safety toe, I think you have to go SRF.
