Customer Reviews Oboz Bridger BDRY

Good fit good quality.

Love them! Zero break in and seven miles of comfort on my first outing. The old Keens are in the dumpster.

I bought my first pair of the Bridger Mid Waterproof in 2020 for a 5-day backpacking loop in the Wind River Range in October, where they held up beautifully over 4 high passes with temperatures hovering around freezing. At one point I fell through snow into a stream and almost filled one boot with water - the waterproofing held up, as it has on wet hikes. I like the light weight and good protection to the toe area. For a mid-level boot I really prefer the single hooked eyelet at the top for lacing up, rather than 2 rows of hooked eyelets. After 5 years the boots are in great shape and probably have years of remaining life. There is a small tear on the leather but in 2020 this model had holes in the leather for better air flow (like the Sawtooth X Waterproof does in 2024), so the leather was subject to more strain. I found the regular width was a bit narrow (I was 60 when I bought them - feet get wider over time) so I ordered the wides, which work perfectly. I'm going to order another pair today.

With the wide option being just right and the pliable yet rigid underfoot, these boots are a 10/10. I feel supported yet still in touch with the trail beneath my feet. These are built to last, waterproof, and have a strong toe cap to protect those toes from any woes.

Excellent fit and wear characteristics. Best shoe available for the price. Unfortunately Iboz customer support doesnt respond to my inquiries.

Just broke em in on some techie hikes in arches and canyonlands, and my feet feel great!

This is the only boot my husband will wear. Love them!

I picked the Bridger for hiking trails as well as a work boot when doing trail work over the spring, summer, & fall. It is very sturdy yet light and flexible. I hardly notice having them on while working or moving up the trail. They protect my feet while also giving flexibility and comfort throughout the day. An excellent boot for a full day hike or an active work day on the trail.

Sizing is a bit different than most shoes, we went to REI thankfully to be fitted. They are super comfortable, no break in to speak of.

Why is there no loop or tab to help pull these boots on? This is a key feature and the Bridgers are the only boot without them.

Great fit, but not much grip on wet underground! A bit dangerous when crossing creeks or steep wet.

Still breaking in but very comfortable absolutely no complaints!

Nice boot, very comfortable; but after all day wear, they are not quite as comfortable as my sawtooth Lows.

In demoing several pairs of popular hiking boots, I was struck with how much support I felt and how solid a hiking shoe this was. Its relatively light so it could be used in warmer months as well. I absolutely these boots!

Great Boots, my third pair of this boots. Only boots I want to hike in.

Been wearing Oboz for many years now and they never disappoint. Very little if any break in period and waterproofing works well.

Great pair of shoes. Fit is perfect

Very good boot

I bought a pair of these from REI to replace a pair of Lowa Renegades, and found the fit to be very good and comfort overall to be pretty solid (although the rockered sole feels a bit weird on some surfaces). The grip is also very good. Unfortunately, however, these boots are not waterproof by any means! From the very first time I walked through wet grass, I could feel water pouring inthe leather soaked through very quickly. Given that the Lowas only recently began leaking after two years of pretty hard use, this is disappointing. I may try to exchange these for a different set at REI to see if those stay watertight, but if they arent, its going to be time for another pair of Renegades

These hiker have great support in the soles! They are comfortable from the start the fit is great the width is nice can be tightened if needed. The bottom s have nice grip for hiking and all around use. The structure is nice and the look is great! Between the two of us in our house we have about 20 pairs of different styles of Oboz. Always happy with the product.

My first pair of Oboz. Retired mailman. I need great support. And these provide it. Couldnt be happier. Already searching for my next purchase.

Amazing product. Ran a little smaller than my last two pairs. Still my favorite shoe of all time.

First real use 7 mile hike and feet felt just as good at end as did in beginning Feet were warm not sweaty. They feel lighter on feet then expected. Overall great shoe

High quality boots. I'll be purchasing the insulated version next year.

Wonderful boots. I have 4 pair.
