Reviewer: Mack T from Iowa

Overall: (5 Stars)

Oboz Wind river boots are the best set of boots I have owned. They fall in that middle ground of a midweight boot perfectly. Although not a trail runner, they have similar fore foot cushioning, and not a heavy weight or mountaineering boot, they still have plenty of support and enough shank to protect your feet from the roughest off trail areas. I was extremely satisfied with their traction both bouldering and down scree fields. I have owned heavy weight boots like Montrail's Moraine AT and lighter boots like Lowa Klondike and Asolo Fugitive GTX. These are superior boots. Similar fit to the Lowa. Normally wear a size 12, but have Size 13 and fit perfect. Just got back from a trip in the Wind Rivers with extended uphill and downhill climbing without a leveling off. These boots easily handled 3500 feet elevation gain/loss over a couple of miles without any heel rubbing or toe jamming. In fact we jogged the last 3000' down.

Yes, feels a half size smaller. I ordered a 6 when I generally wear a 5 1/2 and still they seemed a tad short, especially if going downhill. I loved the look and the great tread and would order a 6 1/2 if they had it.

These are the worst shoes I have ever purchased from Zappos. Before I even got them out of the box, the stench from the shoes was horrific. Whatever type of antimicrobial protection the company is spraying these shoes with is a huge turn-off. I thought airing them out would make a difference, but it didn't. And, they are not comfortable on the feet. I ordered a size up from my normal shoe size and wore two pairs of medium thick socks. Still, foot pain set in. Toebox too narrow and I have a medium width, size 8.5 flat foot. I would never recommend these shoes to anyone, and I want my money back on this purchase.

Very pleased with my new Oboz Tetons. My sense is they run true to size. They offer very good support, the soles grip extremely well. I wore them for a four-mile in-town walk right out of the box and they were very comfortable. The next day I took them on a trail hike, which included a substantial clamber up a rocky incline and they were great! Highly recommended and a real bargain. Good-looking, too.

I am a mid pack 100 miler and always seem to be looking for a good shoe. I bought these shoes about 1 1/2 months ago and have put about 150 trail miles on them. My runs include everything from mellow single track to steep and rocky to mountainous cross country. The shoes have felt great. They feel quite light and are neutral. I haven't felt any seams that rub on my feet and the tongue stays nicely in place. I've run up to 40+ miles at a time and have not had any blisters (though the Vaseline helps). The large and aggressive tread provides great traction on every surface I've encountered. The shoe does not drain as well as some others I've worn but it is not a big deal. Overall I think it is a great shoe.

I liked the shoe for a bit but when worn for 25 miles it did not have enough support for my pronation problem!!! My ankle was killing me after!!! Too bad it felt really good but just not for my foot type.

Support is great, craftmanship is nice, well put together. Soles are great. However, they are very wide and heels are too wide for women. I would only recommend them for women with wide feet. I even use orthotics and they are too wide and the HEEL WAS WAY TOO WIDE.

I have tried quite a number of hiking boots in the past year, to no avail (Zappos can attest to that, they are super). The Oboz has been the only boot to fit my needs. The cushioning is excellent, especially in the forefoot (where most boots are lacking) and equally in the heel area. They are very stable and break in period is a couple of short hikes. The B-dry liner is breathable and very waterproof. The sole offers great grip on wet surfaces as well as dry. This is a boot that you can use for light day hikes as well as full packing for however long you want. They run 1/2 size small, so be aware of that.

My husband and I both bought a pair of bridgers and hiked the entire JMT with full packs wearing these things. They were super lightweight, incredibly comfortable and great across all terrains. Love, love, love this shoe!

I heeded the advice of others here and ordered one size up from my normal size. Although the length is fine, the toe box feels tight. I wanted to like these shoes, but so far I'm unimpressed.

I took a gamble buying these boots. I have narrow feet. First off, these boots are extremely light weight, which is a big plus. Good traction, but the tread pattern isn't a tight one & mud clogs the treads rather quickly. Good ankle support. These boots did fit my narrow feet, but on my left foot when I walked the boot’s top pinched into the base of where my toes meet my foot at roughly between the first & second set of eyelets. Good cupped heal. Downside is that on my right foot, which is my most narrow foot, the laces would not stay tight. I had to stop & tighten the laces periodically, which is a nuisance and developed a sub-par fit as I walked. Boots also have an odd upward banana-like bend to the sole between the ball of my foot & the toes when I'm standing idle on a flat surface. I don't feel these boots breath like Gore-Tex XCR material does. Didn't have a chance to test the water proof abilities. I do like the almost sporty appearance. Will be returning these boots mainly because of the laces not staying tight & the pinching I mention into my toe area. Oboz Yellowstone is a descent/solid boot, minus the negatives I experienced.

I love this trail runner - This is the best running/trail shoe I've owned yet. It is supportive, yet cushy. The inner sock eliminates the need for a tongue, so there's no extra seams. It grips your foot well and supports it. My foot pronates, but this shoe seems to work without the added specialty insole.

Great shoes - These are great trail running shoes. The bootie and lacing system keep the foot stable. The lugs are rugged and the soles are sticky on the rocks. The shoe fits close to size. This is my first pair and I am regretting not getting two.

Great shoe - I've worn them almost everyday since I got them. They do need a bit of breaking in and definitely feel 1/2 size small, especially if you prefer thicker socks. Not sure how waterproof they are, but support and traction are excellent. Also, I LOVE the colors!

Good Looking - Very nice looking shoe, solid quality. Great for for the trails but the stiff sole makes it a little less comfortable as an everyday walk-around shoe. A little painful at first but they broke-in quickly and nicely. Great grippy sole for running around on rocks. Looks like they'll last a long time - what I would expect from a $100+ shoe.

1/2 size too small, but great otherwise -I love Oboz and these boots are great. They are definitely a 1/2 size smaller and you need to order 1/2 size larger. These are wonderful for trail hiking, grocery shopping, and wear all the time kind of shoe. I wrote to Oboz and told them I wanted a one color shoe in this style, like black or brown leather so that the shoe can be worn with more than just jeans. They said they are considering that, but are a new company and need to establish a market. So, buy lots of Oboz and soon there will be more variety.

Love these shoes...watch the size - I love these shoes. Very comfortable...planning on wearing them on a trip to London next week where we'll be doing lots of walking. One caution: I ALWAYS wear a size 7. In these (and another pair of Oboz) I needed a 6.5.

Gave these lots of wear, even some yard work. They are so comfortable and machine-washed well. Loss of a small amt of fleece, cushioning still like new. Back for another pair.

Reviewer: Jon from Chaffee County, CO

Overall: (5 Stars)

Solid boot - I live in the mountains in Colorado. I put these boots on and went for a 7 mile hike (above timberline in rocky terrain). At first I thought they were rubbing my ankles, but they quickly broke in (about 200 steps) and were very comfortable and dry. I have been wearing them for about a week and have done a lot of hiking. I really like these boots. I don't know if I would use them for multi-day backpacking trips. (I have pair of Vasque Wasatch GTX for that.) These are good solid boots that are well suited to hiking in the Rocky Mountains and are good looking as well. (I use these with Sole Ultra arch supports and they are accommodated quite well.)

If ordering on-line - Found these boots to be smaller than the size- I would recommend ordering 1/2 to one size up for a good fit.

Hiker Bill - Over all the boot is great. The only draw back I have with the boot is the toe box. It could be a bit wider for me. Maybe not tapered so much at the toe. Plus side, it’s dry, hugs my heel very well, and has good traction going up and down.

Well worth the gamble...I bought these shoes with nothing other than the Oboz website info and the few other reviewers that have bought these shoes. I use these primarily for work walking on linoleum floors all day. I am 6' 3" & 200 lbs. I have to rotate shoes and usually change them out every 3-6 months. Trail running shoes and cross training shoes seem to work best (I usually gravitate to Hi-Tecs). The Bridger’s took a couple of days to break in (a little different for me with this style of shoe) but have become the best shoes I have had in recent memory. Perfect arch support (my usual deciding factor with shoes- can't wear Nikes, Merrells, or Chaco’s), great toe box room, and great roll-off with the soles both indoors and out. Confidence inspiring on the trail. I may buy another pair just for the trail. Well worth the price. Zappos was great. Highly recommended.

Happy Feet - San Clemente, CA.I am a hiker, mountain biker and runner who received a severe injury to my foot in the Vietnam War. I love my outdoor sports but have never found true lasting comfort in a outdoor performance shoe. I have had my Oboz ignitions for three months now. I love them. They are my multi sport shoe of choice.
