Great boots

Having loved my Sawtooth Low I wanted some waterproof mids for different occasions. I wanted something light, flexible and fast. These really fit the bill. I looked at Salomon Outpulse but having tried both, think Oboz are just slightly better quality. I took advice from others and went for half a size larger vs the Sawtooth, which was the right call. These do run a touch small. The quality is great though - very comfortable straight out the box but they do soften after an hour or so, so worth taking them for short walk before any longer hiking. They look modern too, which Oboz generally aren’t known for. I prefer the styling to my Sawtooths which are very traditional. Yes, I know it shouldn’t matter but nice to know you don’t have to sacrifice style for quality and comfort. The toe box is fine - not overly large but spacious enough - and the heel cup is great. The lacing feels secure and the waterproofing is very effective. Don’t worry about it not being Gore-tex. Oboz’s Bdry is just as good. Highly recommended.Update——-Have worn these boots in snow and rain and they performed very well. Surprisingly warm (with merino wool socks) and very dry.

Very good quality with a good fit

Very good quality. You can tell they are very well made and are light and seem to have good ventilation and not overly warm. These shoes are not stiff, they fill broken in when they come and they are true to size. The traction is very good. I took them on a camping hiking advention this weekend and I truely enjoyed them.

Another oboz hit

As yes oboz are a little expensive but it’s so worth it, they really do stand up to the durability and the comfort and support, hiking boots we all know are not comfortable but they really make you feel like you have worn these for months and finally broke them in on the first use. Traction is great weather on rocks or hills, and the style is very nice, the support couldn’t be better.

Comfortable but

True to size and comfortable fit, but I find it a little narrow or low in the front. While super light, it feels more constrained. A big difference from Sawtooth. I’ll wear them, but only short periods. I’ve worn them 7 times so far from 3 hours to 10. Still hoping for a big break in moment.

Worth a look

Wow, these are so comfortable, the fit is spot on, I wear a size 11, ordered a size 11 and the fit is great. These wrap your feet really comfortably. The tongue has a really nice design, it fits the shoe. I would describe them as airy but really supportive. I have the gray they look nice clean almost don't want to get them dirty.
