Customer Reviews Oboz Arete Low B-DRY

Generally a really nice shoe. Little more on the hiker side for a sneaker than some other trail sneaker shoes eg brooks Cascadia- maybe what one would expect from Oboz? I have their low hikers that I love for when I want something supportive for hiking. Shoe has great support with good toe room, but I had trouble with my heel feeling like they may slip out? I have narrow heels and wide toes (a bit ducklike). I ordered these and the Cascadia, which I am concerned will not have a roomy enough toe box. Both nice light weight waterproof options.

The she felt good but slipped some on my AAA heel. I didn't see a way to cinch it to my heel like other sneakers and etc.

I purchased a pair of these shoes (actually the Arete low, not the dry) about a month ago and loved them so much I wanted another pair, so I got these. I have purchased two pairs since then, and neither of them fits like the original ones. The first was too small; these too large. I feel like Goldilocks! I love the shoes but don't quite get why the sizing is so inconsistent.

love Oboz!

I liked these shoes for color and style that is not your average brown boring hiking shoes. However, purchasing the light green color was a mistake. After the first hike I got stains that did not wash away whatever I tried. Additionally, tongue is too long and uncomfortably presses against my shin when walking. Too bad I can’t return them

Very light and comfortable, perfect for summer walking/hiking.

I do a lot of walking to keep in shape. The tread on these shoes seemed to wear down a lot quicker than the other varieties if Oboz. They were fairly comfortable.

I REALLY wanted to love these shoes, but theyjust didn't fit quite right. The heel is cut low so there is heel slippage, but i dont think it would have caused a blister and was probably minimal enough that i would have gotten use to it. The length and width were great but the tops were not very comfortable and rubbed which is what ultimately made me send them back. I loved the style/look and the fact that they were waterproof.

Oboz are my favorite hiking shoe, but these shoes were poorly made and looked and felt cheap— for $145. I would not purchase these. I sent them back. I wondered if they were knockoffs rather than the real deal.
