Oboz

I bought these to wear while working in desert conditions, and the soles held up very well in the terrain. Next I wore them for a week of trekking on Crete and found them super comfy, excellent grip on rocks, and very comfortable. I'll definitely buy Oboz again.

I just purchased these shoes for a trip to Germany and have already logged in about 20 miles in them. They are the most comfortable hiking shoe I have ever worn. They handle slick cobblestone streets and paths with ease. I was able to walk up into high hillside vineyards without one slip on the stones and felt secure at all times. These don't make a loud noise when you walk on hard surfaces like some hiking shoes do and they are pretty flexible and cushy.One thing to note is that these shoes run about one full size too small. I normally wear a size 7 in most shoes, but the 7 didn't work for me and was just way too small. I sent them back and ordered two pairs in size 7.5 and size 8. The size 8 is what worked for me and I feel no rubbing on my heels. If you decide to give these a try you may want to order several pairs to make sure to get a good fit. I would buy this shoe again and wish they came in different colors.I tested this shoe against the Keen Voyager and while those are great hiking shoes the Oboz Sawtooth wins hands down.

My daughter recommended these and she is an avid hiker. I use them for fast walking across campus so far and love them. They are immediately comfortable, wide enough, and have a supportive design.

I really wanted to like these shoes. They fit great with a roomy toe box. I'm very disappointed because the front of the sole that wraps over the toe has started to come loose after only 30 days. They are stylish and very comfortable but I'm returning them as I don't expect the sole to start coming unglued so soon. These were my first hiking shoes and I put about 30 miles on them and never got them wet either.

This is an exceptionally well-made and comfortable shoe with more substance to it than many better-known brands. The more dense sole of this shoe protects your feet from stones and irregularities better than all but serious hiking boots. The shoe is slightly heavier but far more supportive than most and provides a higher degree of arch support than any of the large brands' offerings do. It works very well for light hiking on real trails as well as for knock-around, everyday use.

This is a great shoe. It is a little wider than expected, but still tightens up sufficiently to wrap your foot. I suppose the wide base will enhance your stability. The Spanish Peaks grip outsole is awesome. I think the color will go with a lot of your hiking apparel - I would have to say it has more gray/taupe tones in it than I would've thought from the online pic, but it also has dark taupey/brown and of course, the black and light aqua tones. The insole is rigid in the right places and soft enough in others. Good enough to not have to replace with my orthotic. I normally wear an 8-8.5 and ordered a 9 in this as I like plenty of toe room. It was as expected in fit, except I was surprised by the width. It looks big, but is a great shoe. I tried several Merrells, and this is much better in quality.

I have had these shoes a couple of years. I have used them for day hikes in different conditions and just getting around sometimes in the winter. They've been very comfortable and waterproof all year round. I really like the fit. The toe is roomy but they don't feel too big anywhere. The heel is a good fit. I bought them in 7's and got another pair in 7.5 that is a better fit for hiking. I wear a 7.5 in Keens, too.

When my research found that John Connelly, the original founder of Montrail (now owned by Columbia), was with Oboz, I bought these quickly! The clear successor to 2 sets Montrail Mt Masochist GTX. Used as work shoes, long hours on concrete. Roomy toe box, snug in the heel and middle the right way. Comes with two different footbeds of good quality and flat, and arched with cushion heel. Personal criteria: balance of support and flexibility for narrow heel and ankle, low volume foot, high arch, room for toes to work, non-slip, not black white brown or garish colors. Worn with Smartwool PHD socks.

This shoe rocks! First time owning Oboz and will probably never have to buy another pair. I hiked and rock climbed for 5 days in Canyonlands and Arches N.P. Shoes gripped on every surface and were incredibly comfortable. I whitewater rafted and got them completely soaked. I was afraid I ruined them (not supposed to be completely waterproof) but after getting home and putting a couple of rags inside them they were like new overnight. No wetness or dampness inside the shoe. The shoe does seem a little roomier in the toe area than normal. Thanks Zappos and Oboz!

So far, so good. Great fit, very comfortable. Breaking them in right now with no problems. Big test this summer on Appalachian Trail backpacking trip.

Nice shoes overall. Compared to other Oboz I own (Sawtooth Mid and Contour), these are not as sturdy or supportive. I need good arches and these are not the best. However, people with less problematic feet should find these super comfortable and versatile. They are very lightweight.

I love these shoes. They are like supportive clouds on one's feet. Best of all, they come from Zappos, powered by the nicest most energetic folks in the world!

I've had these shoes about a month now and I am very happy with them. They have great arch support, a thick sole for cushioning, and a just the right amount of toe room. The tread is an aggressive cleated pattern that gives excellent traction on trails. I can wear these all day as my everyday shoe and my feet never get tired or hurt at the end of the day. I was wearing Ecco Savage Low but they quit making them. I would definitely say the Oboz are better shoes and I am really happy to have found them. Couple these with a pair of Smartwool PhD socks and you're in foot heaven.

Great ankle support and lightweight. I'm really enjoying these right out of the box. Minimal break-in period.

Wow what a stable shoe. I have been wearing these for a few days non stop and they are great. The best arch support of any Oboz I have owned, which is saying something. I have taken them on two light day hikes and they performed flawlessly. They kept me dry and I did not have any fatigue at the end of the day. These are one comfortable shoe.

Was looking for a cold weather, waterproof hiker that I could wear in milder weather, but that would keep my feet relatively warm in 20 degree weather while walking the dog. I needed great traction for icy/snowy sidewalks. These Oboz work great! I love 'em. And they're rugged cute, too! Read somewhere to order half a size larger than normal. I wear 8.5 but got a 9 and they fit fine with a thick athletic sock.

Like the Oboz "Wind River" trail runner/hiker this boot is really well made. Much superior to my Vasques, Merrell, or Asolo boots - especially for a medium weight hiker. Highly recommended! Only caution is: order a full size larger than your normal street shoe - they run a half size small and you will need the extra toe room on the downhill. Shoes wrap to the shape of your foot after a few good hikes. Great boot!

I wanted to like these, and I did when I first put them on. They fit perfectly, and had good cushion and support and I liked the styling. Unfortunately, after wearing them around the house for an hour or so I started feeling them rub the top of one foot at the joint at the base of my big toe, right at the edge of the laces. With thinner socks (I was wearing thick hiking socks) they might be fine, or even with a half size larger. Or maybe not and it could be just the way they're designed that they hit the wrong spot on my foot, which is on the wider side. I'm sending them back and trying a different brand.

Comfortable, excellent shoe in design and from what I can determine - durability. I required the purchase of an additional shoe insert for better arch support.

These are a great all around shoe. I use them as a light weight hiker and everyday work shoe. The conditions I work in vary from driving to walk in dusty fields, to standing on a concrete floor. These shoes can handle it all. At the end of the day I have never felt like I could not wait to get my shoes off. One of the things I love is that they do not show dirt and are easy to clean up.
