Oboz

I really wanted to like these shoes as I've heard great things about Oboz, and they're some of the better looking hiking shoes around. However, the fit was just wrong. The back of the shoe really rubbed around my achilles tendon in an uncomfortable way, and the length seemed too short for my toes. I always wear a 10B in every shoe, so I was surprised that this shoe would be too small. I considered that I may need to go up 1/2 size in a hiking shoe, but I can't imagine that would remedy the problem with grip around my tendon. If you can find the right fit, these did seem to be very supportive and cushy.

I had never heard of Oboz before and had tried the typical Merrell and Keen. A sales associate at REI had suggested these and I tried them in there and they were PERFECT!! I would have purchased at REI but had a gift card for Zappos and ordered them. My first hike was 3 hours and they were great - this was a break in time for a 4 day hike planned for later. I LOVED them - no break in time, waterproof, and most of all - COMFORTABLE AS HECK!!!

Love the shoes but they pinched a little at the top of my toes so I had to send them back.

Best quality made boot for sure. I wear a true size 14 and this was a bit too small so I returned it. Bummer, this could be a boot that lasts a long time.

Looks wide enough but hurt my small toes. Had a solid arch but not enough for my feet. Loved the look.

This shoe wins the prize for feeling like it was custom made me the minute I put it on. I wear 10 medium and it fit like a glove. Another plus is how easy it is to tighten the laces - just one pull and all the laces tighten up together - not like many other shoes in which you have to tighten them one pair at a time, starting at the bottom. I look forward to many comfortable hikes in my first pair of Oboz shoes. And how can you beat Zappo's one day delivery - amazing !!

I love these shoes! I have wide feet and they fit great. I also have to wear a 1/2 inch lift in one shoe and these shoes accommodate that just fine. I find them very comfortable, I like the look of them and, unlike another review, I do not find the material stiff and plastic like. I have worn Keens for years, but something has changed with Keen and I now find the soles uncomfortable. These shoes are my new everyday shoe.

With Oboz shoes I wear a half size larger. My feet like the firm feel of Oboz footbeds and I love the style of these Campster shoes. They manage to feel roomy without looking clunky. The swiveling heel strap is a great idea for people like me who want a back strap but tend to tread it down. Unfortunately when I wore these sandals around the house the little toe of my right foot kept snagging on the webbing. This little piggy cried "no, no, no!" so I have to return them.

Great idea! Terrible material. Love the flip back strap idea for slide-ons or more secure walking. But the material feels harsh, stiff, like hardened plastic. Pretty ugly too. Too bad ...

I have narrow heels and the lacy style made it so I couldn't accommodate my special lacing needs (the lace lock method). Otherwise, I would have kept this shoe!

and they fit great right from the start I’m enjoying them can’t wait to climb hills and trails and all that good stuff in and around Ashville, NC with them seem like they are Made well

FINALLY I found a waterproof, (lightweight) hiking shoe that will support my orthotics! Keen has greatly disappointed me, changing their style and making their shoes more narrow, and not allowing their shoes to support orthotics anymore (my heel just slips out of them, even in a half smaller size!) These shoes are so friggin' supportive and comfortable and i'm THRILLED! I wish they made a leather shoe, in black or something, but these colors will do!

I love these boots! I’ve been wearing Keen’s and a friend recommended Oboz. Easy to wear the first time out and they didn’t rub my ankle like some boots do. Hope you enjoy them.

I just tossed my Keen sandals. I love these sandals. I wore them on a field trip with my son to Fort Macon. Lots of walking and beach. My feet’s survived the trip because of these awesome sandals.

i'm in the never-never-land between 8 and 8.5. In this shoe 8.5 is too long

I did not know that the heel strap was not adjustable. If Oboz were to make this sandal with an adjustable strap, I would not have needed to return it. As it was, I usually wear size 11 shoes, but I had to choose a size 12 for this sandal before the footbed became comfortable. Unfortunately, because the heel strap came in only one setting, my heels regularly slipped out. It works well as a slide, but not as a shoe.

Great shoe. Really like the olive color. Very comfortable. My foot tends to run just the smallest bit wide and this shoe fits perfect. Felt great first time I wore them, right out of the box. No break-in needed. Lightweight and kept my feet cool.

Well made and a great alternative to similar styles from other manufactures. They run small so be careful to order at least 1/2 size larger than your usual size. I like that the toe bumper is not too bulky and I especially like that the rear strap is hinged so one can move it forward.

I am a true 8.5 and the 9s fit perfectly. I wear custom orthotics and they fit comfortably in these boots. I know that my ankles will be secure while I am hiking and I love that they make my feet look small.

Excellent hiking boots! I am a true 8.5 and I ordered a 9 and they fit perfectly. I wear custom orthotics and they fit comfortably in these boots. The grip is good and it will keep my ankles secure. I love the leather and that they make my feet look small. Worth the price!
