Customer Reviews Oboz Sapphire Low BDry

These work pretty well. Extraordinarily challenged feet at 54 years of age. I have found them to be waterproof. Also, there is what feels like soft leather aspects. Good ankle support but not too ridged. Not wild about the slight upward slope of the toes. Why? Also, ordered a 1/2 size larger which is ideal. I used Bean bucks and they are returnable. I would recommend them.

This is a nice shoe for hiking. It did not fit me properly.

I really like this shoe. The fit is perfect and comfortable. I want to buy another pair or two, but have been waiting FOREVER for new colors. I would have bought another pair of two by now, had the colors been updated !!!! Please offer more or new colors. I am really tired of the colors offered, which I already have had for a couple yrs now !! Whats up with not changing your color selections on this style?? This is my only complaint !!!! I would love to see this shoe offered in the navy color of the high top shoe offered. If you changed colors more often, I think you would sell a lot more of this style. I know I would buy more of this style. You can only have so many of this shoe in the SAME COLORS !!

Although it is much more lightweight than the typical Oboz hiker, it's still too heavy for what my bad knees can handle. Incredible lugs and grip, great waterproof technology (my husband loves his Oboz!), great foot protection. Great shoe overall, just not the shoe for me. They've been sitting in the box since I bought them, and I will be returning them.

This is a great shoe--nice and wide, with a great sole (and I have wide feet). My problem is that the stitching from 3 pieces of leather comes together right on top of the large joint beneath my big toe, which is fairly large (but not huge!), and creates a pressure point when my feet swell with hiking. Sadly, I will be returning them.

These shoes are fairly comfortable, especially the foot-bed which is really nice with pronounced arch support. These hikers are a bit shorter than my other 7-1/2 hikers and they are also a bit narrow in the toe-box. Now that I have worn them around the neighborhood, I realize that they cannot be the only shoe I pack for a hiking trip because they are especially tight on the left foot and that is not going to be good for long days on the trail. It's too bad because I really wanted a shoe that is at least water resistant for a week of hiking in a cool damp climate. I have a pair of mesh Merrills and I have an old pair of New Balance hiking shoes that will just be vying to make the trip. It's a shame that these don't quite make it because they are pretty expensive to leave sitting in my closet when the plane takes off. Oh, well!

I bought these for a trip to Yellowstone. I wore them in advance a few times to help break them in and they were fine. However, they did not work out on longer hikes. The back of the shoe digs into the achille's tendon in a very painful way. For me at least, they are ok for shopping or other short distances, but not good for hiking, unfortunately.

These shoes are just OKthey fit well with a wide-ish toe box, which I love. They are snug but not tight over my high instep. They have good support and traction BUT they come up too high (for me) on the outside edge and actually have bruised the bottom area of my ankle bone. I'm hoping they'll soften a little with wear. Come to think of it, my rubber bottom-leather tops slip-on's hurt me in the same placemaybe I have low ankles

These got such rave reviews and they were on back order for 4 months so my hopes were high as I slipped them on my feet. But out of the box they feel bulky and not very comfortable. Not sure if I am going to keep them

I would have liked the arch to have been higher for my plantar fasciitis. I did not like the way the last two eyelets for the laces were made and it did not hook well.

The're comfortable and I like the look, but the reason I purchased them was because they're waterproof. When I walk in the snow, my feet are wet and freezing. I've tried various types of socks and no luck so far.

I really wanted to like this shoe. It fit my narrow foot nicely. And, the styling is nicer than many light hikers. BUT, the side cut at the ankle was clearly rubbing and that low ankle area has a nice, but stiff, leather border at the top so was unlikely to soften. Also, the arch felt too hard. Not easy to explain, but felt more like a rock than an arch support. It's worth trying, especially if you have narrow feet and high arch.

These shoes are very comfortable for me and I really like them but after wearing them for a month my feet got wet in the toe area from just walking in the wet grass this morning so that is disappointing.

The seams on the shoe gave me pressure points on my feet, which caused issues when hiking. Would not recommend for anyone with wide feet.
