Customer Reviews Oboz Bridger BDRY

Great pair of hiking boots. Comfortable right out of the box.

Fabulous boots! Hubby loves them!!! As usual, Zappos rocked it!!!

I have narrow, flat feet and found these very comfortable after 20 miles of moderate hiking.

After blowing out my Ahnu's and being forced to replace them I can tell you it took me 6 trips to retail stores trying on everything from Keens to Salomons, and then something I never do, ordering shoes online, 9 pairs in total from several retailers, 4 of those from Zappos. By the time I received the first pair of Oboz Bridgers however, I knew I wanted them, but it took me a few tries to get the size right. I usually wear a 9.5 or 10 (us) Medium so I always start with the 9.5, which in this case for me was just slightly too narrow for my right foot, which is a little wider than my left, and the 9.5 was also just a little too short for my left foot, which is a half size longer than my right foot, so I returned those and ordered a 10. The 10's were just right for my left foot (which is a 10), but didn't seem any wider than the 9.5's, so they still didn't work for my right foot. Returned those, ordered a 10 EE. Just a footnote, I have never purchased a EE width shoe, so it seems these run just a little narrower than most, that said, I think if your feet happen to be symmetrical and true to size, so are these boots. The 10 EE's arrived a couple of days ago and I have to tell you, they fit perfect. Took them out of the box, put them on, wore them for 14 hours the fist day and my feet felt great at the end of the day. That's the same feeling I had the day I bought the Ahnus, I knew the moment I slipped them on, so I know these are going to be great boots as well. Honestly, I had all but given up and was getting seriously disappointed that I couldn't find anything to replace those old Ahnus, but I think these Oboz are going to fit the bill perfectly, so much so that I just ordered a second pair to keep on the shelf. Gotta love Zappos, still be walking around in broken old boots if it wasn't for these guys. One more note, the gray and blue "slate" option are really great looking boots, sadly, they don't offer them in a 10 EE :(, so I opted for the "sudan" also a great looking boot, just a little more common color combo, still, no complaints.

I got a pair of these to try on and compare with other hiking boots. And these boots are awesome! They look great and feel great. They are light weight and the laces are very long, plus they come with an extra pair of laces. They have a higher ankle for increased support and comfort, as well as keeping stuff out of the boots better. There is webbing that comes up the tongue to help increase the water proofing depth, i did not test the water proofing capabilities, but they seem like you should be able to fully submerge the top of your foot and still be ok. Great shoes but ended up going with something else due to price.

These shoes have more room than any that I've purchased before. I have a very wide foot and there's still a little bit of room. I normally wear a 10.5 Keen that fits my toes fine but my heel would slide around and produce blisters no matter what sock I wore. I even added heel lift to no avail. These boots capture my heel great and have plenty of room in the toe as well as the width. I could envision wearing a thick merino wool sock in these boots and I still feel that they would fit. The arch support seems great and I am noticing a stiffness in the sole that I have never noticed in a hiking boot that gives me confidence that the fit will remain adequate after the boots break in.

Great shoe- had tried on a similar pair in store, so I knew to order 1/2 size larger than my usual size. Very comfortable. Perfect for cold, wet or snowy weather.

Hmmm. I wrote a review but it comes up as anonymous. It is the one that says Keen and Merrill better take notice. The only thing I would want on these is a pull-tab on the back. Great shoes that wrap your foot and no heel slippage.

These are lightweight comfortable boots with a soft flexible neck and sturdy outsole. Seem to be better quality than most brands of hiking boots I've found.

Great hiker and feels like it's extremely sturdy with about as good arch support as you will find. I tried about 20 different hikers from Zappos and this one seems to have the best overall fit if you have overpronation. Solid soles that are sturdy and you won't feel all the rocks on trails. Terrific overall.

My husband never gets through an entire year with boots. The are still holding up a year later.

Ordered 11 EE, wide, and had too return because it was too narrow. I have a wide foot, but not extra wide, so I was disappointed. The boot looks nicely made. Since it did not fit I can’t judge the comfort accurately.

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 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).

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.

Happy with purchase! Overall this is a great boot with little break-in time required. Excellent quality and construction with very good ankle support. I purchased a 10.5 EE and the fit was perfect.... not sure what these other reviews are talking about regarding size/fit, I guess everyone is different...that’s why I shop Zappos—fast delivery and free returns. Zappos is the best! Thank you!

Before pulling the trigger I tried on many, many boots. I couldn't find any that were less than $120 USD that had the kind of ankle support which is necessary for backpacking. Those boots have proper, snuggish fit starting above the ankle all the way down to the heel. When you lace them up tight your foot stays in place. The boot is stiff in the body which is good because it forces the your foot to not work as much. The materials are good quality. My only gripe is that the boot feels wide, but my foot is rather narrow, I have never owned a pair of W shoes. BONUS -- The boots comes with two pairs of laces! One pair is the accent color of the boot , the other the main color. This isn't advertised anywhere on the web. ;)
