Customer Reviews Oboz Sawtooth X Low B-DRY

Just as I'd feared, the new (summer 2022) Sawtooth X Low is NOTHING like the pair I've been wearing every day for 2+ years. SO DISAPPOINTED!!! The footbed is completely different making my ankles roll inward, the collar is too wide so even with laces cinched in the tightest position, the shoes slip against my heels, the toe bumper is gone and the "look" (women's model in dark sand) is just plain hideous. WHY do shoe manufacturers keep "fixing" what ain't broke?! Two thumbs down. Thanks Zappos for easy returns.

These women's Oboz Sawtooth X Low B-Dry shoes are nothing like the ones I've been living in and loving for years. The footbed and arch support feel "off" with this newer model- nowhere near the support I used to enjoy. The ankle collar also felt wider and they slipped against my heels. (Definitely would have caused blisters had I kept them.) Even the front toe bumper is gone now, replaced by a thin rubber strip, and the laces are just thin flat braids that are hard to adjust- not the smooth round cords that were easy to grab and lasted forever. Very disappointing, esp. after the long shipping delay. Had to send them back.

I've had several pairs of Oboz's over the years and love the fit but this is the first time I've been disappointed. My current Sawtooth pair is the same size as this new pair (size 9) but the toe box height is lacking. I can barely wiggle my toes up/down, everywhere else it fits, heel and arch. Unfortunately, toes need a bit of wiggle room so will be sending these back.

These are actually way cuter than I expected. I've been buying Oboz for about 5 years now, and I couldn't find the other Sawtooth low b-dry that I had previously bought, so I decided to try these. I've been wearing them for about 1 week now and I am loving them. I live in wet Oregon, where staying dry is #1 right now, and these are great in the rain. I walk my dog 2 miles every day on a gravel incline and I can't feel the gravel beneath my feet, which is also important. I'll try to take photos later, but wanted to share that I do really like these shoes!

Great shoe for my plantar fasciitis

What a disappointment. I have a pair of Oboz that I've worn for dry hiking and needed a pair that were waterproof. I love the old pair which I purchased in 2017. The new ones -- waterproof or not -- are a completely different animal. The shape of the shoe has changed, but most importantly, the laces are cheap, flat, and very difficult to tighten. I'd return these in a flash if I didn't need them. For any Oboz fan, think twice before relying on this shoe as a replacement for the Oboz you've had in the past.

I am so disappointed! This shoe fits nothing like the previous Sawtooth. I had worn these shoes daily for over 7 years and have owned at least 8-10 pairs. The new version is so narrow in the toe box and just does not fit the same. It is not comfortable at all. Unfortunately, I will no longer be an Oboz customer and am in the process of looking for a replacement shoe!

I was disappointed to find pet hair inside both shoes. I have bought Oboz shoes before and noticed these shoes were not in the original box or paper. I paid full price for these shoes but it appears they have been worn. The shoes fit great and are what I've been looking for. I kept them only because I wear a hard to find size and no other shoe is available.
