Oboz

Nice boots but stiff, probably only good for steep, rocky hikes after breaking them in for a while first. I'm returning and going with a boot that is a bit softer/more flexible around the ankle.

Well, I've only had these a few days, but want to validate other reviewers who are putting these in the same class as Merrill and Keen-- makers of great shoes I've bought more than once. Oboz is right there with them! I'm loving these already for how they wrap around my foot and hold my heel.

I love the way these look and feel right out of the box. I haven't walked in them much so the jury is still out. As you can see from the picture, my cat loved the box so I had to choose these over the other pair.

These are very durable and sturdy. They accommodate a wider foot with their wide toe box. They handle my high arch and thus, high volume foot very well. I wear through shoes fairly quickly, but these really last. Stable, good tread, grippy on rocks and other surfaces, flexible enough, good for hiking and working and walking and standing. They breathe, no gore tex, which is nice for summer and autumn. I highly recommend these shoes and oboz in general. I’m here today to buy another pair, my second pair of this shoe and my third oboz shoes.

I returned this beautiful pair of hikers because it doesn't come in a wide and the M is too narrow in this style for me. As a result I bought 2 !!! other hikers (because I couldn't decide which I liked more). Those will be reviewed too. THE OBOZ Sawtooth is truly well made and I love the look. Too bad it doesn't come in a C width.

I bought these for more daughter--she loves them. She describes them as "game changers" Thank you!

I was wearing these shoes for over a year, and needed a new pair. Perfect replacement! Felt comfortable and ready to to as soon as I put them on - with my custom orthotics. They are a cute color and as stylish as you can get for a hiking shoe!

Great hiking shoe, just came up higher in the ankle than I wanted. Very comfy and sturdy feeling with nice arch support I wanted a true low hiking shoe . If I was looking for a boot or ¾ boot i would have kept these for sure.

What a great boot! Comfortable from the beginning. Hiked a month through Norway and had dry and comfortable feet the whole time. I have tried Merrell, La Sportiva, Solomon, and Columbia brands. This blows all those boots out of the water. Great traction on the wet trails. Sporty looking too. I have slightly wide feet and there was plenty of room in the toe box with my thin Darn Tough socks. I will definitely be buying Oboz again.

Exceptional. Best low trail shoes I've ever worn in 35 years. And very well made. 6 months in with 5 days a week wear...and there holding up well. Very impressed. I understand Oboz was started by a longtime Merrill bookmaker. This is clearly a much better shoe than Merrill, from fit and support to construction and materials.

Fabulous boot!! I wore this straight out of the box on my recent trip to Iceland. They are so comfortable my feet didn’t hurt at all. The arch support is excellent, very stable on uneven surfaces and my feet stayed dry. I am typically a 8.5 and I ordered a 9 and they were perfect.

I usually wear a 9, and based on reviews ordered a 9.5. This fits perfectly! I have no rubbing, and the shoes are comfortable and cute. I would love even more arch support, but there is a bit there, so better than nothing. I was really looking for something that dries more quickly than my Keen sport sandals. I wear them camping on a lake, and once the Keens are wet, it takes forever for them to dry out. I just got these Oboz Campsters wet and they dried much more quickly, exponentially more quickly, than the Keens. The flip forward heelstrap is nice, but honestly doesn't look as nice with it flipped forward. Overall, I am thrilled with this purchase!

Very good shoe. Only issue I had was hiking steep downhill the toes felt some pressure from sliding forward, but next time I will try tightening the laces a little more. Overall I recommend this shoe for rocky hikes, haven’t tried them near muddy hikes yet

These boots were really comfortable, but not sufficiently supportive for what I need them for - a trek in Tibet. If I were doing a less intensive hike, I would have kept them. Instead I traded them out for the Oboz Wind River III, which feel better equipped for a multi day backpacking excursion. I usually wear a 9, but purchased the 9.5 and they fit perfectly with medium weight hiking socks.

Really liked the look of the shoe. Very uncomfortable to my instep. Thought they would loosen and/or break-in but no such luck. Reminded me of old leather hiking boots that took 6 months to break in. Wish they had worked out.

Fits great.. high quality.. exactly as described. I'm quite pleased.

I really wanted to fall in love with these boots. The fit in the heel was fantastic (I have a narrow foot), with lots of room in the toe box, and yet, no slipping or sliding as I walked around. Unfortunately, as I walked around in them, taking them on and off multiple times, I began to fell spots pinching - one over the arch of one foot (I don’t have high arches) and a second over the ankle of my other foot. To be sure, these might have gone away once the boot was broken in, but I don’t have the time or money to find out. I have sent them back, with regrets - would have preferred to have given them a chance. Oh well.

I wear between an 81/2 and a 9, and a EE. This boot felt like a 9 with an E width. Since there is no wider width available the shoes are being sent back. It is a shame, for the boots feel really good while walking (other than the width problem).

Perfect fit and very comfortable right out of the box! I ordered my regular shoe size in the wide width to accommodate my bunions. Fabulous arch support. I look forward to wearing these for years!

Love these shoes. It is so convenient that you can use them as a slip on or use the behind the ankle strap. Get a size larger than you run though. I am a 9 but had to return the 9 and get the 9.5. The f 9.5 fits perfect and their customer service was great during the return process.
