Past experience with Danner, though limited, fit has been close to slightly large.  I intended to wear these with thicker socks so ordered my regular size which turned out to be too short and too narrow.  Returned them and ordered wider width and half size larger and the fit is just what I wanted.  The return process was fairly painless.  I've worn these daily for a few weeks now and the stiffness hasn't been an issue with comfort.
