Wide toe range and comfortable, 1/2 the cost of expensive heavy shoes!

So far so good! Especially love the comfort of them, in the toe area. Most shoes are narrow at the toe, I have long toes and they always seem to be squished. This shoe has wide toe range and I didn't feel pressure! I've recently used Bearpaw hiking boots, too heavy and blisters at the toes-don't recommended them at all! Hence why I'm giving these shoes a try, and 1/2 the cost!I have used them on several hikes, I have to say one of the best shoes! I've gone on trails with wet leaves, declines and I am happy to say no slip and slide, the bottom of the shoe gave me stability! Very comfortable to wear, light like running shoes. Waterproof and I did not have damp feet after hours of hiking. I plan on buying another pair in a different color hopefully! Definitely recommend!

I love the fit of the mid-height boot but the toe box is tighter in the shoe version

I bought this shoe for lighter hikes, thinking the fit would be the same as the mid-height boot version, which I have and love. Sadly, the cut is not the same. On the boot version, the outer sides of the toe box go up straighter toward the front of the boot, giving more room for the last two toes. But on the shoe version, the outer sides of the toe box start making an inward curve toward the front of the shoe, starting at the level of the little toe. This doesn't give the toes as much room and, for me, causes corns to form on the inside of my little toe. I was disappointed to realize this shoe isn't cut the same as the boot and had to return them because of the fit. However, if this toe box shape is not a problem for your feet, I can highly recommend them. They are very well made, light weight and extremely comfortable.

Good hiking shoe with decent waterproofing

Used this in Iceland for hiking including in waterfalls, streams, and snow. The waterproofing is decent, it did leak when I went behind the waterfall and walked in the water but that’s because it was pretty submerged. It takes a while to dry so keep that in mind if you get it very wet. The shoe is orthopedic and lightweight so makes for a great winter hiking shoe.

Wish they had fit better

Great color. Very comfortable shoe. Great arch support. The tongue wasn't wide enough at the ankle. In other words, when I tied the shoe the sides of the shoe did not overlap the tongue but rather dug into my ankle. And I have normal to thinner ankles. Toe box was wrinkled too (weird) .

Very comfy at first try on

I haven’t hiked in these yet but they run long so I ordered down a half size. They also run narrow which is what I need for my feet. I ordered a pair just like this and the left foot tongue fabric stuck into me strangely but the right was fine so I ordered another pair and they feel great. I think that pair was defective so if one feels great, don’t give up , order another pair as I tried on five styles of Oboz and this is only one that fit my narrow foot. They have good arch support too. Can’t wait to go hiking

Return Shoes

Returned shoes because the waterproof material on the top of shoes was wrinkled. Didn’t like the way they looked on my feet also. I have two pair of Oboz hiking shoes that I still wear and love. I just felt like the pair returned weren’t of the same quality of the ones I have already.

Great light weight shoe!!

Nice color, comfortable, waterproof, making it very easy to keep clean. Arch support was lacking. Had to buy a separate insole to get a proper arch. I have no idea why $100 shoe would require an additional $25 purchase to get arch support. .🤦‍♀️
