All my Danner hiking boots (4 pair since 1978) have been mail order, all from Cabela's.

Unlike many other makers that offer only one width, Danner offers 3 to 4 widths per size. I'd suggest one width wider than your street shoes B/C feet spread after days of backpacking. My worst blisters were on the AT W/ too narrow boots causing blisters on EACH toe on EACH side! Agony for 100 miles... but only when I stopped walking. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />
